Junichiro Tanizaki: In Praise Of Shadows – David Rintoul

In praise of shadows
Having done passably well with the heating system
The recent vogue for elctric lamps
Paper, I understand, was invented by the Chinese
There is a famous restraunt in Kyoto
Whenever I sit with a bowl of soup before me
I possess no specialised knowledge of architecture
A Japanese room might be likened to an inkwash painting
And surely you have seen, in the darkness
The darkness in which the No is shrouded
Why should this propensity to seek beauty in darkness
The novelist Takebayashi Musoan
I recently read a newspaper or magazine article
