I offer my condolence to Dubai.

What did kill Dubai? This is the demoniac power of a money. Dubai isn't likely to recover.
Huge speculative money is concentrated to the some specific non trade sector(commonly stock market, real estate,or resort developing)Non trade sector has no exit.so money increase day by day, Usually, if the price of trade goods become higher,it doesn't sell well. but in non trade sector,price rising draw more money.and when the price goes down ,everything will collapse.Speculative money escape at once from there. Speculations and collapses like this have refrained many times until now.
In Japan, many people say about these bubble economy figuratively "It seems like Old Maid card game"

MAMMONISM IS DREADFUL

To tell the truth, there is few outstanding critics,or thinkings about mammoism. Of course there many stories about mamonism(for example Shakespeare,Bible,Marx so on).
Nazism depended a lot on negative emotions against mammonism.Jew was made a scapegoat for autointoxication of mammonistic Europeans. Mammonism destructs social community.
In 90's ,Japanese mass media often used strange changing word ("Enjo Kosai") It was only prostitution. Mammonism possessed low teen girls. They were not damaged girls.They were not poverties. Only stupid mammonists. Only mamonism was the principle for them. Because of extreme bad emotion, it was deviced as the soft impression word. When I listened it first, I misunderstood
a vouge phrase for a correspondence.
I am not satisfied by the explanation of the mammonism as a only greedy mind.(most typical comments based on such the preposition.) Why are people possessed by the illusion of money power,and get satisfied self respect by the amount of earnings? Why does the love for money sometime change into destructive passion?

A THING OF THE PAST

　　Every one can't speak or write something without the past.Man looks like being in the bonds of his old origins. My understanding of stranger in all over the world, depend on the historical knowledge and my past experience too. I acquired social knowledge too much. so I can realize easily the ground on which someone writes or speaks.
So I imagine the world where every people forget all the past. If I could,I would get happy ignorant back like a childhood.

THE DEATH OF YUKIO MISHIMA

November,25, 1970 famous novelist YUKIO MISHIMA died.Just it was 39years ago.His eccentric death is well known around the world still now.
His novels are worth to read now, so I read some Mishima works. Sometime I feel his works indicated the end of the modern novel.To live a comfortable life itself, didn't become a good motif of novels. The idea of "SUBLIME DEATH or　SUICIDE FOR GREAT REASON" possessed his mind in stupid fruitless peaceful Japan. If a novelist suicide now, people won't pay attention to such a stupid affair. because a modern novelist can't seriously influence the reader now. Nowadays any novelist hardly surpass the reader without the publishing business. And moreover educated people come not to read the novels. Everyone can read and write and they are well-informed .but an intellectual became to be useless day by day.

CRYING FOR THE MOON

MEIGETU WO TOTTEKURERO TO NAKUKO KANA.
a Japanese poet ;ISSA KOBAYASHI 1763~1827
( The child is always crying to fetch the moon.)
I always feel women are instigated by endless desire in the modern world. The fashion magazines for women make a fruitless frustration to the reader. These are filled by the sort of "asking for the moon".
Why the moon is the symbol of the childish desire in English too ?

Fatality Drums.

Drumming inspires primitive feeling of existence in person. It sounds like The charge.

The Anxiety over the world

Recent News all over the world make me feel nothingness. I have not had a question "why does the matter happen?"already now. News commentators give a plausible excuse.Mostly these view are based on a cliche.(out of envy. for the money,or sexual desire)
Long time ago(when The Cold War ended) ,I read Kierkegaard"The Concept of Anxiety"Depending on this ,man lives in the nihilistic world. (To be different from Nietzsche,he thought it originated from a sin.)The anxiety signals an essential lack. Daily occurrence has no reason.
Hearing about a suicide of famous German football player(Robert Enke),these ideas occurred to me. Nowadays,a suicide attack has became to be a everyday happening.

Lunatic psychiatrist

(image;Ouroboros eats itself)

IN 1935 , Japan "The Aizawa Incident"(Army lieutenant colonel)happened. Aizawa cut major general Tetsuzan Nagata down with his Japanese sword. He testified that the motive for the crime was the oracle he had heard. His attorney alleged lunacy.But the judgement was a death penalty. His lunacy was indeed the OMEN of serious historical incident.
I was astonished "Psychiatrist shooting" in U.S Army facility.This is a" The SELF-REFERENCE"problem. It asks devils to come. If a psychiatrist is abnormal in the closed group or organization, nobody can judge what is normal or not. I heard the killer possessed by the SOMETHING.What a inauspicious!

Rubix cube and Levi Strauss

(image1;This is a famous puzzle"Rubix cube")


(image2; Claude Levi=strauss, anthropologist)





Whenever I listen the topics about Levi=strauss, Rubix cube remind me of structuralism. This toy has many things to do with mathematics " group theory". The arrangement of the elements always can be replaced the another finite arrangement. This is called "Permutation" Every times we transform arrangements, we can't change how to operate this puzzle.(we can only revolve just one third of the cubic puzzle around axis at any time,as you know.) This is "Structure" . Mathematical idea like this was applied for linguistic,or kinship. This is called "Structuralism". We can use different expressions by the language. But phonologically,we have to obey always the invariable elements (it is called "Phoneme"). Structuralist seeks for a invariable frame like these in the sensitivity.

Levi-Strauss "Structuralism is always misunderstood."

Structuralism , it is always misunderstood. Levi-strauss has died ,aged 100. How long life it was.
Most people can't understand his intellectual revolution in 20th century. He had destroyed the idea "improvement of humanity,or advanced western people"in the history.
After all , Levi-strauss has died ,but the essence of structuralism remains to be unknown still now.
And all explanation about structuralism on the news are wrong as I expected.(BBC mistakes too)
Transformation and differential relations forms Structure. and it is homological with incest taboo.
These are very important. Structuralism is not a machinery system itself at all. Or rather, it may be invariable method and frame work for making machine.

MAMIYA RB6X7 GALLERY

(MAMIYA RB 6×7 SEKOR 90mm ; FUJI super G 100)
By old middle size camera ,I made some photo samples of my scratch build models.
Old Sekor lens was molded, It has been cleaned, but the resolution is not so high(It is inferior performance to a middle class digital SLR )
Large size film is unique still now. It has delicate texture.
Sample Models are my original works, Figure is made of paper cray,and scale is 1/8. U.S recipro engine fighter(Republic P47 THUNDERBOLT ) model is made of wood,white pine, scale,1/48.it is scratch build,not model kit. Japanese fighter ,NAKAJIMA Ki-44-ⅱ"鍾馗 SHOKI"It is made of a magnolia hypoleuca"朴の木".
