     When I look at an object, especially old art, only then do I feel that I connect with the breath of life in this world. Needless to say, the older the object, the more it is alive and the more it possesses a strong freshness. Every time I look at an old object I become aware of the various things that mankind has lost in the past and which have vanished from the present.

Kawabata Yasunari Translated by Kaneko Rumiko, et al.
