Alex Kerr Quotes
It Is Not, Of Course, Only The Japanese Who Find Flat Sterile Surfaces Attractive And Kirei. Foreign Observers, Too, Are Seduced By The Crisp Borders, Sharp Corners, Neat Railings, And Machine-polished Textures That Define The New Japanese Landscape, Because, Consciously Or Unconsciously, Most Of Us See Such Things As Embodying The Very Essence Of Modernism. In Short, Foreigners Very Often Fall In Love With Kirei Even More Than The Japanese Do; For One Thing, They Can Have No Idea Of The Mysterious Beauty Of The Old Jungle, Rice Paddies, Wood, And Stone That Was Paved Over. Smooth Industrial Finish Everywhere, With Detailed Attention To Each Cement Block And Metal Joint: It Looks 'modern'; Ergo, Japan Is Supremely Modern.
