In the “occupation” column, Karolina Bednarz could write: “Japan”. As the owner of the Tajfuny bookstore and publishing house, which specializes in East Asian literature, a graduate of Japanese studies at the University of Oxford, who visits Japan for several months a year, she can confidently claim to be someone who knows the country inside out.

Why do only a dozen or so percent of Japanese people have passports? And what makes Karolina angry at Japan, but at the same time miss it very much?
