The Mother on Japan

I had everything to learn in Japan. For four years, from an artistic point of view, I lived from wonder to wonder . . . And everything in this city, in this country, from beginning to end, gives you the impression of impermanence, of the unexpected, the exceptional. You always come to things you did not expect; you want to find them again and they are lost - they have made something else which is equally charming. From the artistic point of view, the point of view of beauty, I don't think there is a country as beautiful as that.
