‘hoe belangrijk het is als men in zijn kinderjaren in contact komt met echte voortreffelijke kunstwerken, of het nu drama’s zijn, schilderijen of muziek. Ouders mogen niet denken dat ‘het kind er niets van zal begrijpen’, of dat ‘een dergelijk meesterwerk hem boven de pet gaat’; als men een kind in aanraking brengt met kunst, laat die dan van de hoogste orde zijn.’

That chapter on Danjuro IX and other kabuki stars was intermittently interesting, but... not exactly easy to get through.

I was coming home from a screening of Ichi the Killer when I happened upon Tanizaki's memories of his favorite childhood kagura group, who reenacted onstage the sensational murders of the day. Some things never change.

Lively, earthy memories of childhood told from the perspective of a dirty old man. Ranges from the idyllic (eating bean paste and shaved ice in your father's house) to the seedy (being momentarily abducted by a drunk soldier on a parade day). Above all, you get a sense of life in the old world for an especially imaginative child-- all the simple pleasures, all the imagined nasties, and some real ones too.
