Pacific Overtures1976

Madam:
I own a small commercial venture, with a modest clientele - In Kanagawa.

Girls:
I think I see one over there behind the trees...

Madam:
Shh! It's been my family's for centuries, and doing very well. For Kanagawa.

Girls:
I hear they're covered all with hair like some disease...

Madam:
Shh!

Girls:
Except their knees.

Madam:
Sh! The arrival of these giants, out of the blue, bringing panic to my clients, alters my view. With so many of them fleeing, conferring, decreeing, I find myself agreeing with the ancient haiku...

Reciter:
The nest building bird/ Seeing the tree without twigs/ Looks for new forests.

Madam:
Exactly!
