Detailing the evolving relationship between the narrator, Tsukiko, and her former high school teacher, Harutsuna Matsumoto, whom she calls "Sensei." The narrative follows their encounters, primarily at a local bar where they share drinks and quiet companionship despite their significant age difference, exploring themes of loneliness, memory, and unconventional connection. Subsequent sections chronicle their first outings, including a chaotic mushroom hunting trip with the bar owner, a brief estrangement over a baseball game preference, a trip to an island where Sensei discusses his deceased, estranged wife, and finally, the tender, sincere nature of their developing romantic affection. Supplementary materials include a short biography of the author, Hiromi Kawakami, and information about the translator, Allison Markin Powell, along with copyright and publication details.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Weather-Tokyo-Hiromi-Kawakami/dp/1640090169?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=d5429dcd4c4990a69db3c974bdd196d0&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
