Seigensha, Kyoto 2022, 272 pages, 21 x 30 cm, softcover, ills colour, English, Japanese, ISBN 9784861528958

Countless pieces of cloth that have been spliced together and passed down from generation to generation. The handiwork of nameless people, born of poverty, overwhelms the viewer. Rags, which were created by the hands of nameless people in rural settlements and fishing villages during hard times, are now so highly regarded in the field of art and textiles that they are known around the world as "BORO". This book contains approximately 400 carefully selected pieces from a collection of more than a thousand collected by Kosaku Nukata over a period of 35 years.

The poet princess
額田王
Nukata Okimi, considered Japan’s first lyric poet active during the reigns of the emperors Kogyoku and Jito with poems in the Man’yōshū, Collection of Ten-Thousand Leaves.
This all started as a warm up sketch that I took to far Lol. I’ve always thought Asians where difficult to paint so I avoided it until now.
I really enjoyed working on this, hope to look into more like this.

Ariwarano Narihira's Masterpiece of Epic Poetry and Machi Tawara, Who calls It Bad (Essay)
An extremely beautiful epic poetry (Journey song) appears in the 87th paragraph of The Tale of Ise.
It seems
that there is a person
Untie a necklace
Will they fall soon
On the narrow sleeves
ぬきみだる
人こそあるらし
白玉の
まなくも散るか
袖のせばきに
This is a poem that Narihira composed when he visited a famous waterfall (famous Nunobiki Falls) in what is now Hyogo Prefecture with a group of people. There is a man above the waterfall who cuts off the string of the jeweled necklace, and the jewels fall down, but my sleeve is too narrow to catch them, and the jewels drift away in vain.
What a beautiful landscape! Compared to many poems by Japanese poets, this poetry will be one of the best.
By the way, when I was reading a book by Machi Tawara (a former high school teacher who was two years younger than me), who made a name for herself in the songbook "Salad anniversary", I came across an unexpected story. The description caught my eye. She had decided that Narihira's famous song was a piece of crap.
...She has a spectacular career, but I cannot understand her criticism of "Untie…". One thing I can think of is that her successful work "Salad anniversary" is definitely a collection of "love songs". To put it in an old fashioned way, it's a "somonka:相聞歌", and I have to admit that there are modern ideas and technical mastery in this field.
Then, what about "Kiryo no Uta:羇旅歌" = "Journey songs"? Since ancient times, I think that female poets do not have "masterpieces" in this field of singing. I can't even think of a female poet who composed such a song. For men, names such as Kakinomotono Hitomaro, Yamabe Akahito, and Otomo Tabito are easily remembered. Of course, Ariwarano Narihira. (Of course, Hitomaro and Narihira were also excellent Somonka poets.) In addition, female poets famous for Somonka including Prince Nukata, Komachi Ono, Izumi Shikibu, and Imperial Princess Noriko, I don't remember seeing a dynamic epic poetry even though I talked about their passionate love songs.
Machi Tawara, you don't have the knowledge, experience, or ability to talk about "Untie...".

The afternoon sunset
sets these forbidden fields aglow
Wave not,
For the guards may see us.

Fall
Dear Caroline:
I had to check up those colors you were describing to get a clear picture of your apparel. After seeing them, the image that comes to mind is of candy corn, which I believe is pretty popular in the US during the Autumn season. Its apparent contentiousness also seems to match well with your current public persona.
Another thing I've had to look into as a result of your blog is Taylor Swift's tunes. Would you believe that I had never heard a song of hers? I used to listen more to music when I was younger, but mostly Classical material (and even when dealing with 'modern' stuff, generally following relatively canonical choices: The Beatles, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Patti Smith). I wonder if your fascination for her is some sort of projection, in which you view her as an image of what you'd like to be yourself: self-made and wildly successful, universally desired, outspoken and uninhibited.
The short-circuit of past selves is something I have always reflected a lot upon (if I could travel back in time, what would I say to my past self? What would he think of me?). The river that flows is always the same river, and yet the water is always different. I suppose that your past you would be pretty harsh on present you if she appeared right now, and take you to task for the places you've taken her to. Then again, the past is not only a strange country, but an ephemeral one, that only exists in your memories and in some trinkets that are mostly devoid of meaning.
I warm up to the 'aesthetic appreciation' of former you, as the search for Truth and Beauty are the prime movers and purposes of my own life. I generally feel I should give a greater space to ethics, beyond just trying to be nice to people, as the self-cultivation implicit in a lot of my Humanities background can feel rather narcissistic and self-serving at times.
A couple of days ago I was reading your plea hearing transcript, and found especially poignant the answer you gave to the judge when she asked you if you had taken any drugs, medicine or pills or drunk any alcoholic beverages: "I had one beer at about 8:00 p.m. last
night. That's it". It immediately brought to my mind the fancier drink you had mentioned in this post, and the concomitant change in your current circumstances, the humble beer an inverted mirror to the flashy and sweet mulled cider and bourbon.
I had intended to include in today's quote a seventh century Manyoshu poem by Princess Nukata extolling the virtues of Fall, but thinking about your own fall and the feelings you arouse in me, I found some of Taylor Swift's lyrics a bit more apt:
Quote:
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
We can't make any promises
Now can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Taylor Swift, Delicate

I snuggle in happily with him for a bit longer, looking over excitedly when he starts to wake up, “hi darling, hi Nukata.”
Kaz groans and lazily reaches up to pat your head, murmuring a greeting in Mando’a before saying, “‘Lo cyare.”
