Husband (segment "Kurokami") : I'll make amends. First wife (segment "Kurokami") : That's all right. You traveled a long way home. That has already brought me happiness. Even if we can be together like this only for a moment. Husband (segment "Kurokami") : Only for a moment? Tell me we'll be together for seven lifetimes. Unless you forbid it, I'll stay with you always. Nothing will ever separate us again. Husband (segment "Kurokami"): I missed this room as well. We made love for the first time here. It holds the memories of so many nights. I don't want to sleep now. First wife (segment "Kurokami") : I've forgotten my sorrow. Husband (segment "Kurokami"): Your fragrant hair. It's the same as before. The same glossy black hair, those eyes, that lovely nose, those soft cheeks... from ‘Kwaidan’ segment “Kurokami” (1964) Starring Rentarô Mikuni (Samurai II: Duel at… Huh? Wait a minute…), Kenjirô Ishiyama (High and Low), Misako Watanabe (Endless Desire), and Michiyo Aratama (The Sword of Doom). Screenplay by Yôko Mizuki (Kiku to Isamu). Directed by Masaki Kobayashi (“When my master's house fell we immediately left the domain and moved to Edo. The streets of Edo were crowded with ronin - flotsam from the Battle of Sekigahara. In former times, other clans would have gladly taken in any ronin who'd earned a name for himself. But in an era no longer in need of warriors or horses, so peaceful that no wind even rustled the leaves on the trees, it was a constant struggle simply to find a meal. Indeed, it shames me to recall our miserable lives of these last eight or nine years.”). Based on the novel by Lafcadio Hearn (“There's my brother from another mother!” - Japanese Ghost Stories).

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
