I was probably in Year 4 or 5 of primary school. Near the school was a small stream, a beautiful, crystal-clear brook where tiny stream crabs lived. A large tree stood right beside it, its roots hollowed out by moisture into a fine cavernous hollow. My first match. I’d brought it from home and struck it in that hollow – whoosh! Around that time, taken by my grandmother Hina, I entered the darkness of a cinema for the first time. My endless encounter with matches and films began like this, and now, here again, I light a match. Isao Yamada 2026. February 25, 4h07 PM
