…Suddenly I thought of an old friend
Separated from me by miles of mountain and rivers.
Will we ever meet again?
I gaze toward the sky,
Tears streaming down my cheeks.-Taigu Ryôkan (1758-1831), translated by John Stevens (Dewdrops on a Lotus Leaf)
Mt. Hakusan, July 2010

While I slog away on the review of Ep. 5 of Ôoku, enjoy the stats for 2012! I guess the Internet really likes critical analysis of BeruBara, huh?
I feel like I haven’t blogged nearly enough this fall and winter. I still have a book’s worth of links about body image starting with Olympic coverage. But I do want to take the time to wish you all a very happy new year and to thank you for reading in 2012!
Also, I now have a tumblr for this blog in hopes of finding new readers and helping you share media or articles you like from here. WordPress doesn’t seem to have a plug-in, but I’ll see what I can do.
明けましておめでとうございます！
