It is the story of a woman who, as a little girl in Kyoto, Japan, was written on every year on her birthday by her father, who recounted a creation myth that says God first creates clay figures and writes various details on them, including their names, and then if he thinks they are suitable, he signs his name to them and thus instills them with life. Each time the father ended his retelling by signing his name on the back of his daughter's neck. Perhaps she took this as giving her life, or at least continuing to reassure her of her father's approval.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-85347806352426700262011-04-24T18:36:58.340-04:002011-04-24T18:36:58.340-04:00Are??

You're sweet to say I have an eye for books, I think it's just that I seek books that are not so easily found in brick and mortar bookshops...guess what I am trying to say is, I like books that have just a touch of something "different" about them.Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-38423685609803008622010-12-07T10:34:25.930-05:002010-12-07T10:34:25.930-05:00Tattoos inspired by literature.

If I did get one (and that's quite unlikely) I might get an image of a lotus with a quote from the Buddha.Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-44708844459446110812010-12-04T07:42:12.828-05:002010-12-04T07:42:12.828-05:00Go for it Anon...of all the punctuation marks, I t...Go for it Anon...of all the punctuation marks, I think I love the semi colon the best!

They are more meaningful when you think that every tattoo has a story behind it.
