When Pain Becomes Purpose
At thirty-three, running a jazz bar in Tokyo with no literary ambitions, something clicked while watching a baseball game. A double hit, and suddenly: *I could write a novel*. No preparation, no training-just an inexplicable certainty. That spontaneous decision launched one of Japan's most celebrated literary careers. But here's the twist: the writing came first, and the running followed as its necessary counterpart. "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional"-this became the mantra for both pursuits. Over twenty-five marathons, one brutal ultramarathon, countless triathlons, and decades of novels later, the lesson remains unchanged: excellence demands not genius but relentless consistency, showing up when inspiration fails, pushing forward when every muscle screams to stop.
