"I think literature is a great therapist. Not just because it distracts us from our current problems, from overstimulation and chaos, but above all because it broadens our consciousness."

This is well worth a re-read. Every few weeks we hear how and why NHS maternity and newborn care is in trouble. Why is the Countess of Chester Hospital the only place where such failings must be explained by crimes nobody was ever seen committing? theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

The memoirs of a lazy, sarcastic cat: Sōseki is simply outstanding. (And, for my money, this is still the best translation. The language in the new one is a little too, well, *contemporary* I fear — the dialogue especially sounds like EastEnders or a Guy Ritchie movie at times.)

“It was unthinkable for a woman to be head of the Tokugawa family. People would say, ‘her brother would be better’, and, ‘wouldn’t her husband be more suitable?’”
My interview in @thetimes with the woman closing down the family of the last shogun.

In 2011, Japanese telecom company Docomo created one of the most beautiful adverts we've ever seen.
A giant xylophone in Kyushu playing Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" with a wooden ball rolling down its keys.
