I missed the Japanese delegation who visited recently. They only had time to say a brief hello in the shop en route to their audience with King Richard up at the Castle - and I was on my break at the time.
So I didn't really know why they had come to visit Hay until I picked up the Hereford Times this week.
It seems that the Mayor of Kakamigahara, Mori Shin, wants to reinvigorate his city, and is looking at the model of the book town to help him. Kakamigahara didn't mean a lot to me, but it seems to be close to Fukushima, where the nuclear disaster happened last March, in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami - so it's an area that needs regeneration.
