Sorry, yesterday I was kinda busy, forgot to write something till this morning. I'll post again later today. Well I had my lesson yesterday and now I'm learning Kurokami. It is a sankyoku piece about a woman who finds her first grey hair and wishes to be young again, but in her older years she finds the loss of desires and gains true happiness. It is refering to Buddhist ideas of non-attachment. My sensei said Japanese Buddhism is slightly different though. In Indian and Chinese perfection is sought, in Japanese it is the same with a but... The woman has true happiness, but misses her younger days. This is my first sankyoku piece. Well I'll write about today after the day has turned to night.
