In Tune with Time - Watchmaker Masahiro Kikuno [1080p]
Chief among the marvels of the Edo period of Japanese civilization that have allured and haunted me has been the Myriad Year Clock of Hisashige Tanaka: For fairly obvious reasons when you look at the thing and contemplate both its utter ingenuity and its compelling assertion of the validity of living one's life in harmony with the seasons. Which is so powerfully restated (as to constitute a single statement) in the life and work of Zenji Masahiro Kikuno. I have nothing to add. I shut my mouth. And worship.
I burn hot. I tend to exhaust people in conversation, like Margaret Fuller did Carlyle. Which leaves me (but apparently not Margaret) always wishing I'd shut up sooner. I have quite a few friends and not many enemies, but I'm very proud of the few I do have. There is consensus among my friends about me, which is how I know to write about myself. What my enemies think of me I have no idea. That, of course, could be dangerous.
The list of interests and favorites is absurdly partial and half-assed, particularly as to music and books. It's the stupid format of the blog itself, as given, that, of course, I color outside the lines and burst the seams of.
