We named our language school in Japan 'Alamo' after discovering an Asian stone monument gifted to the Alamo in 1914 by Shiga Shigetaka who passed away in 1927. A famous newspaper debate in 1938 over the Sino-Japanese war between his student Yoni Noguchi and Rabindranath Tagore was symptomatic of Japan's diplomatic withdrawal and increased militarism. The choice to publicly engage Tagore in pursuit of international sympathy may have reflected the deteriorating relationship with the U.S. despite the success of citizen diplomat Shiga Shigetaka over a decade earlier. Noguchi who pursued a literary career lacked the instinct and gravitas of his former teacher Shigetaka, the popular botanist and geographer. Today I wonder if my wife had a glimpse of the Texas Theater facade topped with a mini-Alamo during our 1994 visit. While in California she painted a series of imaginative and fantastic cityscapes one of whose tall buildings was likewise crowned with an Alamo-style structure. During this period in California we pleaded to stop the airline plots which had been postponed and exposed by an accidental fire in Asia while we ran Alamo there. A chilling 10-12 plane plot was exposed which targeted flights we often took. I can't say for certain if the Texas Theater was the inspiration behind her creation but I can say that our memories our tied to the beauty of the buildings we see around us. They shape our ideas and feelings and contribute to our ability to bring the lessons from the past into the present even when thousands of miles away from us. https://www.quora.com/How-did-Prince-Blake-celebrate-the-Second-Coming-of-the-Spiral-of-LifePrince Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11665408205893909202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009256198966311979.post-35329273082321618232016-12-23T17:42:00.363-08:002016-12-23T17:42:00.363-08:00I remember the festivities as this move happened. ...I remember the festivities as this move happened.
