An anxiety-inducing, subtly absurd short story about a Japanese man and his Japanese English-teacher colleagues, after the war, going to visit one of the occupying Americans' school, to potentially give an example lesson. The protagonist is reading into each of the American army soldiers' motives, behaving irrationally - although it's hard to blame how nervous he is due to the damage America did on Japan just years before. A comical story (some characters are overly welcoming of Americans, some still talk of what they did as soldiers with their swords, but it's done in this caricature-esque fashion).
