this was so interesting! do you have a good resource for death rituals in Heian Japan? Or maybe, is there a good Genji resource to explain references like Toribeno? maybe what I need is a middle school textbook...

I love learning about Japanese culture in these posts. I knew nothing before I met you.

Lovely. I enjoyed learning a little about wuwei, and I think I understand because India also has deep ideas about separation of ego from actions. I hope I will not misinterpret it going forward.

I also watched Shogun after reading about it in your earlier post. Such a great show!

You'll laugh, but the first thing that struck me in your, as always, beautiful post was 聰 being read as Akira. I would have put money on Satoru or Satoshi. :)
