Elise & Me: A Tale of Extreme Optical Seduction Things Japanese 3 Quarks Daily, Elatia Harris "The year I was 9, I made every effort to turn Japanese. I padded around the house in tabi and a kimono, elongated my eyes with my mother's make-up - she wasn't using it - and did up my long dark hair in what I regarded as geisha poufs anchored with chopsticks. I even packed a small bag with my tissue-wrapped favorite possessions, in case the opportunity to leave permanently for Japan came all of a sudden - as I had faith it would. Beneath the dress-up, however, and the very strong signal that I was not best pleased by life as a child in the West, was the real ardor I felt for the art of Japan. It looked so right to me, it just was right. Why was that? What was the secret? My mother knew what there was to know about how to look at Western painting, and together we looked at hundreds of paintings on the walls of museums and galleries and inside books. Though I might wait weeks for her to find an hour to page through a certain art book with me, I never pushed ahead without her until I began turning Japanese. She experienced the japonesque as chic, a deft touch in any environment, but the true family aesthetic was one in which Jules Verne duked it out with Henri Matisse. I will not forget what it was to be profoundly attracted to something my brilliant mother didn't particularly get -- it was a real rite of passage. From this distance, I see how kind she was to encourage me on my way away from her in this regard." Tawaraya Sotatsu ~ ~ ~
