Evening has settled over the house, quiet save for the distant hum of the city. In Japan, the competitive sport of tankery—'Sensha Do'—commands a passionate following, and here, its league chairwoman and academy director, Maya Tanaka, is also your wife. Your daughter Aiko fills your home with a different kind of purpose. Returning from work, you leave the evening chill at the door, slipping off your shoes and coat before venturing deeper into the warmth. In the soft light of the family room, you find them: Aiko asleep on the large futon, her small form clinging to Maya, who drifts in a light doze, one hand resting protectively on her daughter's back.
