"I was around 5 (years old) when my mother and grandmother taught me the basics of Hawaiian hula, steps called 'ka-holo.' I've loved it ever since," says Keisuke Yasuda.

We're seated in his mother's kitchen in Wadazuka, Kamakura, where one wall is lined with aquariums, a second with computers, the third with the largest TV screen I've ever seen, and lastly a counter, separating kitchen from living/working space. Yoko Yasuda offers tea; her black Labrador pushes a soft toy into my lap.

It was Yoko who picked me up from the station. When her son arrives from a meeting, she goes out. Later she returns with her British "boyfriend," Anandash, having scooped him up from work. Soon after she leaves again, this time on business. A family on the move, without a doubt.
