 Through whirling pinball machines and furnaces burning clay to bizen-yaki  Nippon speaks.Through stinking diesel pipes and the stench of computer chip dyes Nippon screams.Through stumbling sumo giants and hushed remarks of Sumitomo clients Nippon sleeps.To discover Japan discard all notions of beauty or monstrosityand at the center of a fading cherry leaf realize all things in this world are brief.
