Day 4
I was taking a 5-hour flight today. I read quite a bit of 車井戸はなぜ軋る on the flight, bringing the progress to 56%. I mentioned yesterday that “葛の葉” is related to 安倍晴明. I learned more about the story in today’s reading. 安倍晴明caught葛の葉 tranforming into the fox, or transforming back into beauty. I like how she describes and analyzes the picture on the 屏風. It brings me to the front of the 屏風. I agree with 鶴代 that it would be hard to put on the finishing touch on that kind of drawing. Knowing the story of 画竜点睛 from Chinese folk tales, I know it could be intimidating to have the finishing touch of the eyes, or it could just be superfluous if one tries to draw the eyes.
