Utamaro001Full title: The tragic lovers Oshichi the greengrocer's daughter and Kichisaburo the young temple-servant. A wonderfully full print from ukiyo-e master Kitagawa Utamaro  (1750-1806). You can see the tragedy about to happen in the closeness and the turbulence.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
