In meinem Fall war es das Photo eines hölzernen Schreins unter riesigen Zedern, der mich zu jenem versteckten Regal in unserer Stadtbibliothek führte, das, gefüllt mit Büchern zu allen möglichen Themen Japans, zum Ausgangspunkt meiner ersten Entdeckungsreisen zu den vielfältigen Aspekten dieses Landes wurde.
<English translation>
In my case it was the photograph of a wooden shrine under huge cedars which guided me to that bookshelf hidden in our local library that was filled with books about all kind of Japanese subjects which became the starting point of my first explorations to the diverse aspects of this country.
