Reason and Mystery

Climbing Iceberg



I wrote this for Wilsonfest and in the honor of Rick Wilson, mathematician and professor at Caltech and his wife, Kathabela.


Reason and Mystery


Reason starts with R
R sits with Rick
Rick does math that begins by M of “Mystery”







I took above two photos at the Yokohama Minatogamieruoka park yesterday. 



Sei-on (pure sounds)

rick plays shakuhachi
the word, shakuhachi, has only sei-on
flutes also have only sei-on
saito mokichi wrote hosohoso to describe the sounds of flutes
like all flutes, hosohoso is all sei-on



*for sei-on and daku-on, please search on the internet. 
I also wrote a blog on "Pure and Impure."




Here's Kathabela!



リック、尺八を吹く

しゃくはちもフルートも清音なり
笛の音を
茂吉はほそほそと書いた
ほそほそは
たく音にあらつ
