Jesus Body

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2009.08.07

There are many things that can mystify a foreigner living in Japan. I've decided to start chronicling some of these. Not in the usual sense of pointing and laughing at the weirdness (if that were my thing I doubt I'd have left Australia) but rather in relating my experience for those who aren't as far down the road. And for those who are happy just reading about it from afar.

Anyway, what better way to kick it off than my discovery of the drugstore product "Jesus Body".
