2W15 Reflection…

Leafy streets and cooler air were things I definitely wasn’t expecting when arriving in Tokyo. Friendlier faces and cheaper subways also met me with equal glee. Apologies to the management for the late posting but it was delayed due to moving here. This week has been consumed mostly by the move but now that I have some time to myself I shall focus more of my efforts back onto the project whilst I have the available time. I did research some libraries but found them to be a little stiffer and their content a little older. There must be more libraries but I did find 2 books of particular note, which I find to be quite useful for my academic paper. They would be:

Ohnuki-Tierney, E. (2002) Kamikaze, Cherry Blossoms and Nationalisms: The Militarization of Aesthetics in Japanese History. The University of Chicago Press.

Osborne, P.D. (2000) Travelling Light: Photography, travel and visual culture.

Manchester University Press.
Both deceptively old looking by account of their dust jackets being removed to look like all the other old books. Yes, this was a library, which appeared to despise dust jackets.

There is little else to report really because of other pressing matters but I hoped to get somewhat on track soon. Need to produce a working abstract of my academic paper in the assailable future.
