Abstract:

From China to Japan by ship.

A gentle kiss and then an embrace – so does a ship touch the shore of its destination. Before that kiss, the ship draws patiently closer. After first sight, it carefully regards its new (or perhaps old) lover, considering how best to approach the shore. But eventually it does so, edging ever closer until the first touch, kiss and embrace.
