Synopsis

From wild waves to wanderers to wastefulness, this essay takes you on quite a ride. It also explores figurative takes on “ronin” and an old (but still relevant) name for Osaka. Learn to say, “I am currently unemployed,” “It's certainly a waste of time,” “He lives the life of a vagrant,” and “The vagabond, when rich, is called a tourist.” Also discover the meaning of “zodiacal rabbit” + “wave”!
