about: Rebecca Otowa has been the chatelaine of a 350-year-old farmhouse in rural Japan. She left her original home in California in 1967, and her adopted home of Australia in 1978, to strike out in a radically new life direction. She and her husband Toshiro have raised two sons and now live in a rural village near Kyoto, in a farmhouse that has been in the family since it was built in the 1600s. As well as writing and teaching English, Rebecca loves growing vegetable and roses, reading (with one of her four cats pm her lap), sewing, cooking and voraciously watching English-language movies. Her social life is divided between local volunteer groups and "the stage" - music, amateur theatricals and country line dancing.
