So I received the parcel the book of illusions promised he'd sent some months ago, a belated birthday gift to make up for last year's; which, somewhat typically, never arrived.

Anyway, among the assortment of presents was this print called 'a burden named gareth'.

He also sent me some facts. For example, in the '70s, there was an unwritten rule among commuters on the Chuo train line in Tokyo, that women could grope men, but the men couldn't look at them, follow them or touch them back.
