Eiko Yoshizumi has always been affected by Japan¡¯s scorching summers, going so far as to call them a ¡°nightmare.¡±
¡°I was always terrified of going through summer in Japan,¡± she says. ¡°I felt very languid and sluggish. I was as heavy as lead. My head was filled with heat. It caused headaches as well as depressive moods.¡±
It was only after experiencing a less oppressive summer season in Europe that Yoshizumi realized that Japan¡¯s unforgiving heat could be to blame.
