Georges Rouault

last night... I got it...since it got into my room through the door sacrificing its life while I did my best to save its life...(Ah, mon Dieu.)



Georges Rouault


When I was a schoolboy, of course in Japan, I was not good at painting, so that I had a hard time to paint a picture as an assignment during summer vacation every year.
* * *

Today, though I do not paint pictures as a hobby, I can enjoy or reject paintings by certain artists.

In my opinion, pictures by Cezanne are nice, though I cannot recall many of his paintings.
(http://www.korega-art.com/cezanne/)

Other painters from Gogh to Picasso are controversial. I cannot judge Rouault.

Japanese ink paintings are nice. Wabi/sabi is nice, too. I will enjoy them later when I get very old. I will draw four seasons on a scroll like Sesshu.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessh%C5%AB_T%C5%8Dy%C5%8D)

But, most of modern paintings seem to have less value nowadays, since we can easily apply the patterns and combination of colors to our own by use of a computer.

Yes, though just on a sudden impulse and an idea, I suppose a computer program for automatic painting, based on requirement on contents a user can input, may become a big hit.

For example, a user may input a specification, such as "a picture like Picasso's in his 30's that fits a feeling when listening to a typical symphony of Mozart." Then a computer program should display on a computer screen scores of candidate pictures it creates in a very short time. The user can choose one of them and print it with a special printer.
* * *

Jesus Christ did not paint a picture or make a drawing.

But, He had been a carpenter. Neither a school teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, an officer, a politician, a paid priest, a paid Pope, nor an artist.

Indeed you must not be called with "sir."

But, you have to be an engineer, a factory worker, a machine operator, a manual laborer, a construction worker, or a carpenter, if you are a man.

Computer programmers may be overlooked, as they often use such terms as architecture, building, construction, components, and modules.
* * *

Jesus Christ did not paint a picture or make a drawing.

I have never had myself painted by anybody including myself. Have you?

But, how would Jesus Christ portray you, if He so agrees to do?

You cannot escape his judgment, can you? Probably, most of you cannot stand your portrayal painted by Jesus Christ. I am also afraid of the painter Jesus Christ.

Now you know why Jesus Christ said that you have to be like a child to enter Heaven.

No children will run away from before the painter Jesus Christ, if He so agrees to be.
* * *

Yesterday, I saw two blind young ladies walking with a white stick each.

They might have more accurate images on God and Jesus Christ than I can.

Indeed, art is an international language. Zaijian!


(A very humble reduced-size photo of a picture of the Messiah by Georges Rouault has been displayed near my PC for many years.
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Rouault ].

Now you can do your homework on painting. Annyeong-hi gyeseyo!)

Divine Comedy 2007 (IX)

completely secret...whether in love or not...


Divine Comedy 2007 (IX)
[Comédie Divin 2007 - IX]


1. Okinawa Airport
It is a kind of miracle that a passenger jet plane got literally exploded after landing and evacuation of passengers.

It could have killed more than 150 air travelers. The Taiwan Government should review its organization and management of its air liner industry.

Taiwan air liner jet planes in this decade or so had accidents twice, except this one, each time killing about 200 lives.

However, this incident in the Naha Airport of Okinawa Pref. might be an omen to some people. For example, we may suppose that the God saved many lives due to a believer who started to be engaged in an important mission on the very day.

Is there any such one around you? I can see the one, so decent.

2. Exchange Rate
It is not a fall of stock prices that matters. Now, one dollar is traded at 114 yen. It is about 120 yen one week ago, which means some computer programs somewhere in the financial sector must be really put to the test.

Meanwhile China is going to be the second largest exporters in the world this year next to Germany.

Though main exporters in China are foreign companies, the dollar will face more complicated situation.

Japan and China should be also aware of their responsibility in stabilizing the framework of the world money market; we can even cooperate in making super international money exchange computer programs to cope with future large-scale speculation between the dollar and other currencies.

3. English Speaking Politicians
Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe is now on tour to Indonesia, Malaysia, and India.

When he returns home, he will make changes in his Cabinet.

The key figures in this last chance for reviving his fallen popularity are Foreign Minister Mr. Taro Aso and Defense Minister Ms. Yuriko Koike who has recently made big news in her initiative to replace her undersecretary despite various opponents in LDP and the Prime Minister's Office.

Interestingly, another key person, the current Chief Cabinet Secretary is facing a money scandal related to his local office. He has been often criticized that though he can speak English well, such ability never helps his domestic performance. Fluent English speakers have been neither liked nor respected traditionally in Japan, since they look like lacking traditional manners while making others envy their ability of English speaking.

(I don't also like to speak English to British or Americans who do not respect Japan and Japanese. Bad Americans do not respect foreigners who speak poor English. So, do not be a bad American, if you are an American, whose best pride is being an American who can speak English better than, say, a Mexican. Aren't there such Americans in international cities in the U.S., such as New York City?

Indeed, for a sight-seeing, you had better go to Mexico City. Even if you are to meet an American living in New York, the meeting should be scheduled to be held in Mexico City.

[The U.S., with the current account deficits of 900 billion dollars as of 2006, should pay back all the debts it owes to other countries, such as Japan and China, if it does not teach its people to respect Japanese and Chinese as well as Muslims and other Asians instead of making light of them.] http://www.vmi.co.jp/pdf/bv/bv14/bv14_11.pdf )

4. Cicada
I almost gave up taking a picture of a cicada as dusk was near.

I was thinking that how unlucky I was even for this humble wish to save my face in presenting a reasonable picture of this insect, since the picture of this insect I had last posted was so poor as I recalled it.

Then the God suddenly sent me this one just on a tree in front of me.

So, with gratitude for God, I took images of the cicada into my digital camera and soon left a park.

Does it look holy to your eye?

5. Ex-Super Model
A Japanese ex-supermodel died. Since early 1970's, she was active and famous in this business.

Even I could, though vaguely, recall her. She has really carried a sense of early 1970's in Japan. (But, what is a sense of the early 21st century in Japan now? You had better read EEE Reporter, good girls, if not to be super.)

Once she was chosen as one of the six most attractive models in the world.

Recently she was living alone, and her friend discovered her dead body in her residence in the middle of Tokyo, while so many ladies of her generation are living happily.

6. President of A Chinese Toy Company
According to a Sunday night's news show, the president of a Chinese company that had sold dangerous toys worldwide recently committed a suicide.

Chinese people concerned said that the president was a victim. His business partners who had sold paint for toys to his company are responsible, since the paint contained lead, the fact of which the president had never realized until the exposure of the incident in the U.S. as well as Japan.
* * *

This is the situation observed in Japan on one hot day in the summer of 2007, while most of Japanese have come back from their summer holidays.

But, of course, there are many who cannot take happy summer holidays due to their duty official or personal, responsibility, obligation, tragedy, competition, human relationships, or simply poverty.

Indeed, where are the Summer Angels who should smile at those unhappy people in the hot, hot summer truly so hot?


(Seasonal tradition of Japan in the summer is going out to see a big firework show, mostly on a river bank, in a yukata (simple summer clothes) with a fan held on the hand, wearing wooden sandals called geta.

It, even as a festival, is not so material but very poetic in terms of vision, which Westerners probably cannot sense and feel....)




"...Then Jesus turned back to Canaan in Galilee where he turned the water into wine..."

Could Jesus Christ Read and Write?

Tokyo 2007(In New York, four million people, a half of its population, are very poor while some others are enjoying a real-estate bubble game. Japanese, Muslims, and other Asians should not love New York, since there are four million very poor people while some others are enjoying a sinful real-estate bubble game as if without fear in God. Be a samurai in Tokyo rather than a clown in New York.

[Sight seeing in Mexico City should be more blessing than in New York City, if still you love the New Continent.])



Could Jesus Christ Read and Write?
(Jésus le Christ pourrait-il lire et écrire ?)



From descriptions of the Bible, it is apparent that Jesus Christ as man could read and write.

(Basically, it is God who gave ability of reading and writing to mankind; thus this question is essentially rude to the Son of God if not for the purpose of increasing people's respect to Him.)

Yet, was He as man carrying the Old Testament with Him? No, He must not have.

It must have been a shame that a saint carried the Bible as he could not get every word by heart, while preaching here and there.

Jesus Christ as man must have stored all the contents in His memory.

So, He did not say to His followers to carry the Old Testament with themselves when sending them out for a mission.

Jesus Christ simply said not to carry money, bags, shirts, and anything but your faith as they were going out as sheep among wolves.

(Therefore, you should not ask anybody who visits your church whether he or she has the Bible with him or her. Pious people should not carry the Bible, since it means that they have not yet stored its contents in their heart.

Your church should assume that people have learnt the Bible well and stored its contents in their hearts.

Otherwise, the church is treating a visitor in a bad manner, as if he or she had not yet mastered the Bible.

Your church should not be a pack of wolves to poor visitors who act as sheep in terms of intellectual superiority.)
* * *

To really study how Jesus Christ preached 2000 years ago, you have to perform computer simulation.

In a cyber space, you have to reproduce Palestine of 2000 years ago.

Population, the state of business, social customs, social status, political situations, living of ordinary people, and human relations should be simulated there.

Then, you might discover how authentic the Bible is in addition to other holy new findings.

This project, say, to be named "Virtual Palestine in the First Century," must be started sooner or later.

You may estimate how many computers and software are needed and how much cost is needed.

(If you have to create 100,000 personalities and it costs 100 dollars per month in to create and operate one personality in a computer, this part of costs would be 10 million dollars per month and 120 million dollars per year.)
* * *

Jesus Christ did not use His ability of reading and writing in His preaching at all, except for suppressing proud scholars and knowledgeable attackers.

(When He exchanged words with the Roman Governor, did He spoke Latin or Greek? Or, did they use an interpreter? I suppose Jesus Christ could even speak Egyptian.)

He only spoke, performed miracles, and traveled on foot without money with Himself. These are all He did: speaking, miracles, and traveling on foot.

Then, His influence continued for 2000 years.

In other words, His speaking, performing miracles, and traveling on foot conquered the world.

The Vatican should follow Him in earnest.
* * *

You do not have to read and write, since Jesus Christ did not use this ability in helping and teaching poor and humble people.

Otherwise, you have to behave as if you could not read and write, just like Jesus Christ. It means you should not be proud of your ability of reading and writing.

There are many people in this world who cannot read and write, to your astonishment.

You must be one of them, illiterate persons, to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Otherwise, you have to carry their burdens; you should not make them feel inferior for that reason to anybody including you.

From a different point of view, it means you need holy permission for your every reading and writing.

By the way, who gave permission for you to read the blog EEE Reporter, apparently one of the most laughable titles due to conspicuously many Es, if I may ask?



(Based on their ability of reading and writing, some people really get smart, earn unpardonable large money, enjoy success, superiority and victory in manipulated competition, accumulate sins in God's sight, harm many innocent people, neglect or attack the poor and the weak, become foolish and blind spiritually, abuse good wish of innocent people, get arrogant and immoral as unpleasantly depicted in the Bible, exercise violence or hire gangs, become a friend of evil-minded people, buy what should not be priced, and die to go to the hell, leaving money and titles in this world.

This is a typical super-rich man's life which has been repeated in the human history so many times.

They have reduced to nothing but dirty ability itself to satisfy their desire, which is no more human.

Reading and writing should not serve them.)




"....And He went on to say to them all, 'Watch out for every kind of greedy.'...."

Son of Man, Son of a Black, and Son of a Celebrity

Mt. Fuji 100 Kilo-Meters Far(what else can look so nice 100km far...)
(indeed, you look so, too...though lily-white)


Son of Man, Son of a Black, and Son of a Celebrity
(Fils de l'homme, fils d'un noir, et fils d'une célébrité)




Why did Jesus Christ call himself "Son of Man," instead of "Son of God?"

The title "Son of Man" must have been used only by poor people 2000 years ago. Or, to be called "Son of Man" must have been a kind of humiliation.

No matter how poor you are, you are still a son of a man. Therefore, no matter how poor and lowly you are, you can still use the title "Son of Man."

It is poor man's last resort in expressing himself with his best pride. That is "Son of Man."

Conversely, the title "Son of Man" could be a target of laughing. Rich men and people with other attractive titles never called themselves "Son of Man," and thus would laugh at those who could use no other titles but "Son of Man."

However, there were many poor and lowly Israelites 2000 years ago. So, Jesus Christ openly called himself "Son of Man" to proclaim that He is one of those poor and lowly people.
* * *

In the U.S., if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you have to call yourself "Son of a Black," since the so called "black people" were descendants of slaves of 140 years ago.

Even if you are a European American but a follower of Jesus Christ in the U.S., you have to call yourself "Son of a Black."

2000 years ago, Jesus Christ called himself "Son of Man." Yet, His followers all knew that He was the son of God.

Today, the most pious European American must call himself "Son of a Black." Yet, his friends should all know that he is a pious son of a White.
* * *

For Jesus Christ to have called Himself "Son of Man" is tantamount to today's pious white-man's calling himself "Son of a Black."

While Jesus Christ was the highest ranking man in mankind, He positioned himself at the lowest level in the social order in Palestine 2000 years ago.

In this context, He called himself "Son of Man," meaning He was one of those who had no way but use the lowest title in the community.
* * *

Now you know why the Son of God called Himself "Son of Man."

It shows his unlimited love to poor and lowly people.

Even if you are a son of a celebrity in the U.S., now you know how you should call yourself to show your faith in Jesus Christ.

Yes, we are all "Son of a Black!"

Jesus Christ would surely call Himself "Son of a Black" instead of "Son of a White," if He comes to the U.S., though He must look like an Arab actually.


(Your racial identity is a secondary matter. Your mission defines what you are.

If your mission requests you to paint your face black, you have to paint your face black. Thus, there must be no such a thing as a white faced Christian priest in the U.S.

It is far better than being given a fate of being killed in the War on Terror, isn't it?

But, in my view, the God does not request Japanese to paint his or her face black for a certain reason....Anyway, black needs golden to look nicer....And, golden needs white to look nicer.)

Critical Moment of History for Mankind

Spring (Haru)
Summer (Natsu)
Autumn (Aki)
Winter (Fuyu)(Japan's four seasons themselves are holy heritage.)



Critical Moment of History for Mankind
(Moment critique de l'histoire pour l'humanité
)


A generation after the death of Cleopatra of Egypt, Jesus Christ was born.

A generation after the death of Jesus Christ as man, Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman Empire.

They teach that the death of Cleopatra of Egypt and the fall of Jerusalem should happen even without the birth of Jesus Christ in between.

The two great incidents in the human history were, indeed, recorded as having been inevitable in a due course of the history in those days but completely irrelevant to the birth of the Son of God.

This is a mainstream teaching of history among Europeans and European Americans. They really look like downplaying their most benefactor Jesus Christ.

You must not join them, since their teaching is wrong, downplaying their most benefactor Jesus Christ as well as His followers, including Judas.
* * *

Jesus Christ must have been born a generation after the death of Cleopatra of Egypt and a generation before the fall of Jerusalem.

You may think about various reasons, if you piously wonder why it is 2000 years ago that the Son of God appeared on the earth.

It must be related to immorality, violence, and arrogance found among the Romans, Greeks, and the Israelites of those days. But you can still observe them among contemporary Europeans and European Americans, descendants of the Romans, Greeks, and the Israelites in terms of civilization.

My warning to you is that if you accept immorality, violence, and arrogance on the grounds that you can often observe them among contemporary Europeans and European Americans, you will surely lose God's favor.

It is related to the very issue that the Son of God must have been born at a certain moment of the human history.

It cannot be too much if you take this issue so much, though you may wonder why Islam was endowed to mankind at the specific point of the human history.
* * *

Indeed, the more you are given in terms of resources, the more you are requested in terms of respect to Jesus Christ.

I really hope that my level of respect to Jesus Christ is commensurate with the beauty of the nature the God gave to Japan.




(Recently, bridges and mines collapsed in the U.S. and China. Floods occurred in the U.S., South Asia, and North Korea. Earthquakes hit Japan and Peru.

Do you think that the God will spare Tokyo, Paris, or New York for your sake? Then, why?

O, God, I am here praising You!

[Did you say it, together?])



"...They said, 'Everyone is looking for you.' But, Jesus answered, 'We have to go on....'"

Disciples of Jesus Christ



(a part of the summer place 2007)


Disciples of Jesus Christ
(disciples de Jésus le Christ)




Jesus Christ must have, most probably, taught His followers with silence.

Japanese can enjoy music which insects play and winds create, which is impossible for Europeans and European Americans.

Japanese love silence in the middle of music, which Europeans and European American cannot enjoy so much.

In my view, when Jesus Christ was alone with His followers, He mostly kept silence.

And, His followers gradually learnt to learn through silence.

This is why there are too little contents in the Bible about His words and deeds.

(There might have been however more Magdalens, though not recorded in the Bible for a certain reason. That Magdalen alone must have her own friends and enemies alike.)

There must have been no chatting, laughing, joking, consultation, business talk, and singing.

I suppose they were a very silent group in contradiction to your image on Jesus Christ and His band.
* * *

Meditation and holy silence are two different matters.

Holy silence really would lead people near Heaven without hard mental work.

But, it does not look like having given any discipline to His followers in a pragmatic meaning.

Thus, when the reality led by the Roman soldiers captured Jesus Christ, His followers all left Him simply in fear due to the lack of training and discipline, especially, on how to act in a case of crisis and emergency, while such an attack by His opponents and enemies were easily expected beforehand.

You cannot laugh at them.

It is not a failure of Jesus Christ to have had such disciples as with the case of Judas.

Indeed, Jesus Christ had not trained them beforehand, though he could, so as to make His followers go, suffer, and die with Him, which would have however made them saints or heroes instantly only for that fact from a historical point of view.

(Or, as Jesus Christ alone must have resurrected, no followers were allowed to die even temporarily with Him, you might reckon.)

Yet, holy silence Jesus Christ practiced while being surrounded by His followers alone is still mysterious for us.
* * *

Now you know that Jesus Christ was a silent man.

But, it might be very painful to be with such a man with great power and great silence in addition to great responsibility and great secrets.

Jesus Christ was not a jolly god.

Your image of Him may be very wrong mostly due to an error of the Roman Church.


(Anyway, if you love Jesus Christ more than anybody, you will be given the best answer.

Whom will you share it with?)




"...Peter spoke up, 'Look! We have left everything and followed you. What will we have?'......"
(Note: St. Peter said this not when he and Jesus Christ were alone.)

Midsummer Night's Dream 2007

Summer Mt. Fuji 60 Miles Far (today no raven on the top of the tree)
"Every heart you break.....every heart you save
I was watching you....I'll be watching you"
(http://www.stingetc.com/lyrics/everybr.shtml)



Midsummer Night's Dream 2007
(le rêve de la nuit de milieu de l'été 2007)


If you were a king of a country under "True Theocracy," you should order to withdraw all money from the nation.

Every citizen should bring all the money he or she has to government offices. No records shall be however made on who submits how much money to the office.

Then, an order will be issued so that everybody should live as if they had money just like in the days before the order.

A citizen should say simply to a clerk of a shop that he will buy certain goods priced at 120 yen or 320 yen with his credit appropriately conferred by the Government.

Even for a loan of a house, a borrower should simply inform a lender or a financial company that he pays the loan for the month with his credit conferred by the Government.

An employer, still being motivated for business success that allows for enjoying more materially advanced life even in this social system, should say to his employees that he pays them with his credit conferred by the Government.

Put simply, hard currencies and coins should be all replaced by credit conferred by the Government, which is intangible and can be transferred viva voce or by word.

Then, people will not have to see that dirty thing called money any more.

But financial institutions will be allowed to record any appropriate figures on their books and files as their need arises, ultimately based on infinite prime credit of the Government.

Of course, education will be aimed at making people so pious, trustworthy, honest, responsible, and capable of understanding how much credit they owe to the Government that owes everything to God under "True Theocracy."

The only problem is international relationship.

Indeed, some countries might hate this system.

They may launch a war on your country that uses no tangible form of money or financial instruments, but unlimited credit granting as well as flexible and convenient figures on books and files.

Truly, you may have to first conquer the world to introduce this non-money economy in your country.

Indeed, even in this dream scenario, you have to first ask the God to put the world under His foot through direct interference for you.

Truly, if you were a king of a country under "True Theocracy," you should order to withdraw all money from the nation.

(Or how much do you claim for every step you make?

Oh, can't you see every atom in your body belongs to God who may price one atom at one dollar, meaning 60 trillions multiplied by 80 trillion dollars?

[Sir Newton did not know that a human body consists of 60 trillion cells each of which consists of 80 trillion atoms. And Gentleman Shakespeare did not know it, either.]
( http://www.enotes.com/midsummer )

Yet I can pay you my poor heart aching; or infinite love do you so claim?
O my God! Oh my Goodness! She assumes a queen! Yes she does!)



Indeed, it is a midsummer dream.



"...But he shouted even more loudly, 'Son of David, have mercy on me!' Jesus stopped and said, "Call him!'..."

Know Holy History and Language




any time for your service...


Know Holy History and Language
(Savoir l'histoire et la langue saintes)




A US news program presented the famous VJ-Day picture taken on the street of New York on August 14th, 1945.

The Japan-US War in WWII was a result of the then US Government's conspiracy to force the Empire of Japan to choose abandonment of all the interests in the mainland China or all-out economic sanction including embargo on export of oil from the U.S. to Japan.

1. Chinese political leaders wanted the U.S. to start war against the Empire of Japan that was trying hard to secure its legitimate interests in China, if viewed from the international standard of those days, while being adventurously attacked by Chinese military forces that were also engaged in its civil war.

2. The U.S. wanted to enter the Chinese market, since it had been suffering aftermath of the Great Depression, while mistakenly thinking that the Empire of Japan would block its entry to the Chinese market.

3. The then US Government wanted to save the U.K. from Nazi Germany; so it needed an excuse to join WWII. They thought that if they had virtually declared war against the Empire of Japan by posing all-out economic sanction, the Empire of Japan would surely attack the US military bases in Asia, specifically 100% those in the Philippines.

Though the Empire of Japan had had no intention to make war against the US but had wanted more economic ties with the U.S., it was forced to take some drastic measures, since it lost the way to import oil and also earn dollars from export to the U.S. market still suffering aftermath of the Great Depression.

(When the Imperial Army advanced to Vietnam according to an agreement between the Empire of Japan and France before the Pearl Harbor attack, the then US President misunderstood it as Japan's unlawful invasion, due to his lack of diplomatic knowledge, thus making himself more determined to threaten the Empire of Japan in negotiations where the Empire of Japan made every reasonable effort to avoid the war in line with the diplomatic commonsense of those days, namely 66 years ago.)

Therefore, the Empire of Japan had no clear roadmap at the beginning of the war, except that the U.S. would change its attitude if it had found that a war against the Empire of Japan would cost too much as would be proven at Pearl Harbor.

The U.S. Government had expected the Japan-US war to begin soon with minor damages to the U.S. military but did not tell the perspective and its intention to the U.S. citizens before the Pearl Harbor attack. But, the damages at Pearl Harbor were far beyond their expectation, thus shocking the US Government as well as citizens.


But, Nazi Germany, Chinese political leaders, and the U.S. Government were all die-hard.

Accordingly, the Empire of Japan came to be controlled 100% by the samurai-spirited Imperial Military organizations which honestly observed their principle "living is in fighting and dying."
* * *

The Japanese language is not an international language. But, it is a rare language.

Though it is the language of the second largest economy in the world and of the most successful race with the most advanced spiritual culture, almost nobody except Japanese can speak, write, and think in Japanese.

There are two language groups in North and East Asia. One includes Chinese and Tibetan; and another consists of Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, and Turkish.

The latter is also regarded as belonging to a larger language group that covers Finnish and Hungarian (as well as probably Georgian and Basque or further the languages used in the Indus Civilization and the Sumerian Civilization).

Indeed Japanese is one of authentic languages as with Hebrew, to your astonishment.

(If you speak New Yorkers' English in Japan, no one thinks you have more wisdom and knowledge but would guess you have some New York money. It is not respect. You are making a big mistake with the lack of ability to respect Japanese.)

But, Japanese is unique, even compared with Korean. Japanese spoken language is based on quadruple measure but Korean spoken language is on triple measure like so many European languages, including English and French.

For the professional class of Japanese language learners, "Nihongo no rizumu: yon-byoushi bunnka-ron (Japanese Rhythm: the theory of quadruple-measure culture)" by Mr. Sadanori Bekku must be useful to gain more insight (http://www.chikumashobo.co.jp/product/9784480089427/).

In addition, the beauty of the Japanese language is really felt when it is spoken by a true Japanese heart which is hard to find in these days except in old Japanese movies created before WWII. We really need good elementary school teachers who would correctly teach pupils how to read, say, "Saita Saita Sakura-ga Saita (They have blossomed, blossomed; Cherry blossoms have blossomed)."



(Indeed, it is not a matter of "L" and "r," good girls. It is a matter of loving noises of insects and sounds of winds in the Japanese Islands facing both Siberia and the Pacific Ocean since at least 10,000 years ago, though truly I love your "L" and "r.")



"...And Jesus concluded, 'Listen, then, if you have ears.'..."

When The Saints Go Marching In

"Oh, when the saints...
"Oh, when the saints...
"Oh, when the saints...

(http://www.pitt.edu/~deben/2Saints.pdf)



When The Saints Go Marching In
(Quand les saints vont marcher dedans)



The image of the true theocracy according to the Bible:
Rev 4:1 (2005) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Rev 4:2 (2006) And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Rev 4:3 (2007) And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Rev 4:4 (2008) And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Rev 4:5 (2009) And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Rev 4:6 (2010) And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

Rev 4:7 (2011) And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

Rev 4:8 (2012) And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

Rev 4:9 (2013) And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

Rev 4:10 (2014) The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

Rev 4:11 (2015) Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
* * *

Does "four and twenty seats" mean 20 centuries and four wars?

Indeed we have passed 20 centuries already.

In these 20 centuries, the true first world war was the "Mongolian Invasion (a lion)"; the true second world war was the "Spanish Invasion (a calf)"; the true third world war was the "British Invasion (a human mask)"; and the true fourth world war has been the "U.S. Invasion (an eagle)" of the world.

Indeed, the so called WWI and WWII are just part of the U.S. Invasion of the world. But, now the U.S. Invasion of the world, since WWI, has come close to halting just at fronts of Iraq and Afghanistan, which means also that the War on Terror is historically inevitable or fatal for the sake of the prophecy, though it cannot be justified in any human measures.

But, it also means that the Age of the "True Theocracy" must be near, since there are three billion very poor people in the world who have no hope of being saved by 300 million very rich Americans and Europeans.

Or, conversely, to bring about the Age of the "True Theocracy," you must put an end to the U.S. military invasion of the world as well as terror symbolizing the lack of love in all the religious communities on the earth.

But, who would do that? Mongolians, again? Muslims with suicide bombs and kamikaze? Or, a civil war in America again taking 600,000 lives? You had better find a saint and go marching in following him to Holy Jerusalem or the Kingdom of God.

Truly, when a saint goes marching in, he is more valuable than a sparrow, since he could stop and end the US military invasion of the world and corresponding terror, if the God or Allah so wishes.


(If you want be part of manifestation of the divine will, you can be....Then, a miracle will prove you, if the God so wishes.)

The Abominable, The Murderers, The Whoremongers, The Sorcerers, and The Idolaters vs. Holy Jerusalem

(L'abominable, les meurtriers, le Whoremongers, les sorciers, et l'Idolaters contre Jérusalem saint)




Give thanks to God, since we are allowed to live to this century, as the Bible gives various prophecies:

Rev 21:1 (2001) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Rev 21:2 (2002) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Rev 21:3 (2003) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Rev 21:4 (2004) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Rev 21:5 (2005) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Rev 21:6 (2006) And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Rev 21:7 (2007) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Rev 21:8 (2008) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Rev 21:9 (2009) And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Rev 21:10 (2010) And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Rev 21:11 (2011) Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

Rev 21:12 (2012) And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
* * *

In the 21st century, people should think about the "true theocracy" that can be more democratic than today's democracy and assure more freedom of religion than today's democracy.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theocracy)

God is above any political systems and religions.

If you were born in the U.S., you would become most probably an American calling yourself a Christian.

If you were born in an Islamic state, you would become most probably a Muslim calling yourself a Muslim.

But, who decided that you should be born in the U.S. or in an Islamic country?

It is not you, but the God.

Truly, God is great and God or Allah is the only god for us, servants of the Lord!

Water of Life, Tree of Life, and The Throne of God

Water of Life, Tree of Life, and The Throne of God
(L'eau de la vie, arbre de la vie, et le trône de Dieu)



Rev 22:1 (2001) And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Rev 22:2 (2002) In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Rev 22:3 (2003) And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

Rev 22:4 (2004) And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

Rev 22:5 (2005) And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Rev 22:6 (2006) And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

Rev 22:7 (2007) Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Rev 22:8 (2008) And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

Rev 22:9 (2009) Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Rev 22:10 (2010) And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
...
(The King James Version of the Bible)


All I can say is that for God a thousand years is one day. Man's evolution in these 1.4 billion years from energy of quantum vacuum must take only 7 days for God, if he so sets for his care for Angels.

At least, for the healing of nations all over the world, mankind should accept this prophecy.

This is the ultimate promise of salvation for the human world consisting of many nations.

Think about the world with a notion to this prophecy; then you will not be misled, since it tells the ultimate promise of salvation for the human world consisting of many nations must come through the water of life, the tree of life, and the throne of God.

Theocracy is the first and the last form of politics which however should begin immediately in the seventh year of the 21st century, or the seventh year of the 22nd century since the Age of Caesar of the Roman Empire whom Popes have taken on even to this day.

Divine Comedy 2007 (VIII)

Nostalgic Tokyo StationInside the dome of the station
I once liked Bach, his music.
Can you play it? (pouvez-vous jouer la musique?)


Divine Comedy 2007 (VIII)
[Comédie Divin 2007 - VIII]


1. Ms. Reiko Dyulan
Probably when Ms. Yoko Ono was enjoying a life in New York in early 1960's, Ms. Reiko Dyulan was learning art in London where, she wrote, she felt as if having been treated like a monkey or something like that.

According to her book recently published, "Japan, A Nation Never Colonized (Ichidomo Shokuminchi ni Natta-koto ga-nai Kuni)" written in Japanese, she later succeeded as an artist in Japan and married a Swedish man to enjoy more international experiences.
(http://www.jbook.co.jp/p/p.aspx/3400484/s/)

Though she looks like lacking some virtues a respectable Japanese lady of a traditional type is expected to master, she still has to rely on her identity of being Japanese to protect her pride, which is very natural.

So, she wrote that she got shocked when she was asked in Amsterdam, Holland, by a woman from South America as to what Japan's "master country" was.

Of course, Japan has never been colonized by any foreign country in its glorious history recorded for 2000 years.

(Specifically, Spain, Britain, and France could not defeat Japan's samurai military force, since Japan had more guns, gold/silver and advanced social systems in those colonial days.)

Though Ms. Reiko Dyulan cannot be regarded as having insight, personality, and faith in Japan enough to represent Japan and Japanese, she still reported on her encountering deplorable ignorance and blindness of people in the world on Japan.

Ms. Reiko Dyulan also reported on strong respect to Japan found in young people of Republic of Madagascar who felt being cheated so much by France.

Japanese should take a look at her book for some reasons. You may, contrary to my opinion, come to like her.


2. Ms. Yoko Ono
Last night, in a Fuji TV news program, to my astonishment, Ms. Yoko Ono wearing a T-Shirt with the logo "Berlin" was televised in a reference scene.

She was sending a video-message to an assembly of people trying to revive the glory of the Hibiya Kokaido Public Hall, one of famous old buildings in Tokyo, the construction of which her ancestors donated big money to 80 years ago.

(Ancestors of Ms. Yoko Ono also donated a memorial hall to the University of Tokyo.)

Indeed, Ms. Yoko Ono was a child of one of the wealthiest families in Japan.

What I like about her is that she has not talked about or written anything in a manner as if she were representing Japan or Japanese.

Ms. Yoko Ono born in a super rich family in Japan might be a humble person from her childhood. The marriage with John Lennon might have made her more humble, however, enjoying more fame internationally.

Can she be honored with the Nobel Peace Prize someday? Please donate more, Mrs. John Lennon, since there is more room in Heaven, if I may say so.


3. Ms. Yuriko Koike
Defense Minister of Japan Ms. Yuriko Koike has had jealousy and accusation arise among some members of the Tokyo political community.

While the ad-hoc session of the Upper House of the Diet was convened as its election was over, she flew to the U.S. somehow abruptly to reinforce the bridge of mutual security between Japan and the U.S., though.

She met the Secretaries of State and Defense of the US Government as well as Vice President Mr. Dick Cheney, which tells how she has been regarded well.

Now, those who are blaming Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for LDP's defeat in the election seem to be aiming their attack on his minister Ms. Yuriko Koike.

Though most of senior members of the Liberal Democratic Party are trying to force Mr. Shinozo Abe to resign as soon as possible, it would not be easy, partly because Ms. Yuriko Koike is very popular among ordinary people.

I do not know what Ms. Condoleezza Rice will do after January 2009; but Ms. Yuriko Koike will never fail in national election. She will surely continue to secure her position as a national law maker, though she will probably not be able to become Japan's first female prime minister in future.

(As Koike-san was once a TV news reporter, she still looks nice, even in comparison with Rice-san.)
["san" is a summary method for honorary prefix in Japanese]


4. Female Volleyball Team of Japan
Last night the female volleyball team of Japan defeated the Taiwan team.

They really represent Japan and Japanese in my view.

Tonight, they are going to be matched with the Holland Team. As I purchased a FPD TV around January 10 this year, I can enjoy the game more pleasantly.


(Twenty five years ago, I was working in a very prosperous computer sector, to your surprise. But, I met a kind of ill spirits there so as to leave it for a kind of an exile.

Indeed, they could not lead the world since then, for there were ill spirits in there and I left them for a kind of an exile 25 years ago.

But, another story then began under a God's gaze, to your surprise, too.

Anyway, read the story of Jesus Christ, good girls, in a vacation just like I did while in a state of unemployment around Tokyo 25 years ago.)



"...for he was greatly amazed at the teaching of the Lord..."

Marriage and Immorality without Fear to God

"they say the time..."heals a broken heart...
"but the time has stood still...
"since I can stop...
(http://music.yahoo.com/Ray-Charles/I-Cant-Stop-Loving-You/lyrics/36014543)


Marriage and Immorality without Fear to God
(Mariage et immoralité sans crainte à Dieu)



2000 years ago, Jesus Christ specified the meaning of marriage, according to my King James Version of the Scripture compiled in 1611 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Version):

Mar 12:18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Mar 12:19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Mar 12:20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

Mar 12:21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

Mar 12:22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

Mar 12:23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

Mar 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
* * *

If those who neither read scriptures nor know the power of God think about anything about marriage, their thoughts lead to error.

The meaning of marriage can be understood only by those who read scriptures and/or know the power of God.

Therefore, when those who neither read scriptures nor know the power of God marry, often what they call marriage is nothing but an error.

An error on the earth does not work in Heaven.

So, if they are admitted to Heaven, they will be treated according to an assumption that they have not made an error, that is, erroneous marriage(s).

If marriage on the earth does not lead to more blessing in Heave, such marriage will be regarded as an error.

Critically, 2000 years ago, marriage is based on belief in God. But, nowadays, it is based on a contract, a law, or a kind of criminal conspiracy. People today call what could not be admitted as marriage 2000 years ago the marriage.
* * *

In my personal view, if a total amount of evil things after marriage is larger than the sum of amounts of evil things a man and his wife have committed each separately before their marriage, it is an error not a marriage.

If a man or a woman marries with a plan to abuse the system marriage for doing more evil things, it is a crime against the God.

In this context, Vatican itself is a great error, too.

Poor people also should learn from the Buckingham Palace and Paris.

Or do you think Jesus Christ would praise those that have been promoting moral crimes against God while giving a fatal excuse to terrorists?

Then, my friends with holy allegiance, what are they?


(And, do not even call it a marriage.

Indeed it's long, long time ago those happy hours turned to make me blue...

Truly, I set up and made up my mind...)




"...It was the tenth day of the new year, which was the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken to exile...On that day I felt the powerful presence of the Lord..."

St. Peter's Coins from the First Fish

"Sweet wings you must borrow...
"make straight for the shore...
"indeed, red sails in the sun set...
"truly, she goes on sailing no more...
(http://www.bluegrasslyrics.com/all_song.cfm-recordID=sp1054.htm)


St. Peter's Coins from the First Fish
(Pièces de monnaie de rue Peter des premiers poissons)


Peter was keeping some coins hidden secretly without telling the fact to Jesus Christ.

Peter knew that Jesus Christ would not praise him for still keeping some coins secretly hidden.

Jesus Christ had truly said to give all his money to the poor and follow Him.

But, Peter, with a worry about worldly needs, still kept some coins for himself secretly.

Then a tax collector came to them one day.

Jesus said to Peter to catch fish, find a coin in the mouth of the first catch, and then pay it to the tax collector.

Peter caught fish and put all his coins into its mouth to show them to Jesus Christ.

And then Peter paid the coins to the tax collector who was so amazed as to report it to the Roman Governor...

Now Peter was free from pang of conscience. But, Jesus Christ came to be under surveillance of the Romans who knew Moses had been also a miracle performer.

But a true miracle happened in the mind of St. Peter who could make a quantum leap to higher faith or the way of life based on mercy of God alone but not money at all, once for all.



(Indeed, to be rich while being praised by Jesus Christ is truly difficult. Can your money predict when you die, though you may not be even sad thinking about it, since you do not like God?

Follow St. Peter, however, if you are rich, and pay tax for Jesus Christ and His followers.

Truly, you will be able to catch people, probably mostly poor and called Not-My-People.)


 
 
"...and then hand him over to the Gentiles, who will make fun of him, spit on him, whip him, and kill him; but three days later he will rise to life..."

A TV Set Story

[An N.K.'s nuclear bomb damaged this TV set.]
[The God persuaded me to buy this one. (This screen image is irrelevant to this report.)]
[Can you see me...Pouvez-vous me voir ?]



A TV Set Story
(Une histoire d'ensemble de TV...?)


It is only several years ago that I began to receive NHK satellite broadcast signals.

I purchased a Sony TV receiver which showed views of the earth taken from a Space Shuttle by a Japanese crew when first connected to an antenna. So, I thought this spending was blessed by the God.

When the 9/11 terror occurred in 2001, it was mainly NHK satellite news channel that I mostly watched so as to know the state of New York. As NHK relayed the US ABC News programs, it was Peter Jennings that mostly presented the live broadcast from New York for me, as one of audience in Japan.
* * *

Then a few years later, I subscribed to a cable TV broadcast service. I mostly enjoyed old Japanese movies and US History Channel, though I intently watched CNN when a big incident occurred in the world, such as the US invasion of Iraq, the Indian Ocean Great Tsunami, the Pope's death as well as the New Orleans tragedy.

At that time, I think Bill and Soledad as well as Heidi were mostly observed on my Sony TV screen as I often tuned into CNN at night in Japan.

Anyway I had been a busy man; and my Sony TV set unfortunately did not present better images for US programs via a cable tuner due to unknown problems I however did not mind much.
* * *

Then last year when North Korea blasted a nuclear bomb as their first explosion test, my Sony TV set started to malfunction as part of a great miracle. (Or more correctly just before the news flew in, my TV got damaged as if telling me North Korea finally donated their atomic bomb in the northern Korean Peninsula.)

I had to punch or tap the chassis of the TV set to start getting images. For a few months, I practiced this way to trigger TV picture display. Anyway, my favorite TV programs in those days were sports programs, such as live broadcasting of female volleyball games and female figure skating competitions. So, there were no problems for my punching and hitting my TV set to get pictures.
* * *

Then early this year, at last, my punching and tapping did not work any more.

So, I connected a wire from a cable TV tuner to an LCD display monitor of my Fujitsu PC. It worked.

As I did this change of monitor connection in one morning of January, I happened to view clearly a US TV program unlike before. It looks like having discovered new people on a TV screen without confusion of personalities any more.

Then I decided to purchase a new flat panel display TV set; so, my flat-panel-display TV viewing just started in January this year, so humbly.

Though I had been a busy man, one of my missions ended at the end of 2006. Then I decided to write more for the blog EEE Reporter in 2007, which made me feel like checking US TV programs more intently. So, anyway, I needed a better TV set.

The new flat panel display TV presented more clear pictures than the old Sony set.

Inevitably, my new flat panel display TV also showed more clearly Japanese TV announcers. Though I had thought for a long time that the only beautiful female TV personality in Japan is NHK's Ms. Kuniya, I found there were more.
* * *

In short, I had not liked to spend much money for TV viewing, for a long time for a certain personal reason no one would know forever.

But, a Sony TV set and satellite TV programs were useful for checking the 9/11 terror and other subsequent global incidents.

And, when North Korea tested its nuclear bomb last year, my Sony TV set got half-broken.

Then, from this January, I started to use a flat panel display TV set to get higher quality of pictures.

Indeed, it is God who had persuaded me to buy the Sony TV set and then the flat panel display TV set.

Truly, God is merciful and He is the very Creator of the universe and mankind.


(In addition, my CD/tape player was also half-broken a few years ago. And, when North Korea blasted a nuclear bomb, its CD function got completely halted.

Anyway it is convenient to copy contents of music CDs into one of my PCs to listen to them. But, my only concern now is if I should copy contents of analogue music tapes, old and new, into a PC in digital format instead of playing them with my half-broken CD/tape player.

Probably, I will not. Music tapes containing "Jet" and so on should be left and forgotten someday.

Truly, in some of these days, you will miss me honey, even if you are, say, in Paris.)

12 years since 1995

"Jet!
I thought the only lonely place was..."
On the moon... "
(http://www.last.fm/music/Paul+McCartney/_/Jet)



12 years since 1995
(12 ans depuis 1995...?)



Proverbs in the King James Version of the Bible:
Pro 9:5 (1995) Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

Pro 9:6 (1996) Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Pro 9:7 (1997) He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Pro 9:8 (1998) Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Pro 9:9 (1999) Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Pro 9:10 (2000) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Pro 9:11 (2001) For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

Pro 9:12 (2002) If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Pro 9:13 (2003) A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

Pro 9:14 (2004) For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

Pro 9:15 (2005) To call passengers who go right on their ways:

Pro 9:16 (2006) Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Pro 9:17 (2007) Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

Pro 9:18 (2008) But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

* * *

In 1995, there was a sarin gas attack of terror in Tokyo, where I was close.

In 1995, there was also a great earthquake in Kobe, the large modern port city near Osaka, the center of western Japan, where I might have been close.

Since then, Japan has been relatively safe, while I have been praising God.

And then, the years have passed through 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003, and 2005 with so many tragedies between Muslims and Christians from East Africa to Afghanistan and Indonesia and from Baghdad to Istanbul, Madrid, London, and New York as well as Moscow and southern Russia.

Indeed, it is 12 years since 1995 when Japan suffered tragedies hard to comprehend, yet knowing not the age of global terror coming soon to claim an unacceptable number of innocent victims.

Now the world has to come to think who has scorned spirituality and poverty of the world.

As a proof, "EEE Reporter" has been issued from Japan to you, regardless of your whereabouts in the spiritual space projected from the earth below.


(Once there was a young beautiful girl I encountered in Tokyo. She had beautiful blond hair and blue eyes.

I named her "Jet," since she looked so keen and talented.

Truly it is decades ago in Tokyo that I met a young beautiful girl with beautiful blond hair and blue eyes whom I named "Jet," since she looked so keen and talented on campus.)

The Mona Lisa (La Joconde)

yet humble flowers





(pourtant fleurs humbles)


The Mona Lisa (La Joconde)


The most interesting thing for me about Shakespeare is that he did not praise Jesus Christ and His followers in his works.

It is just like "Harry Potter" does not include praise to Jesus Christ and His followers.

Indeed, British are interesting people in this context.

But, it may be a little different that I cannot feel any pious emotion to Jesus Christ and God in works of Leonardo da Vinci.

I do not think that Leonardo da Vinci reasonably understood Jesus Christ and God.
* * *

When the late Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka visited France decades ago, or in early 1970's, he went out to see the Mona Lisa (La Joconde) in Musée du Louvre.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa)

It is reportedly said that he said, "This is truly a genuine article!" Then it was decided to send the picture to Japan for display, which eventually became one of two rare occasions that the Mona Lisa (La Joconde) was displayed outside France (another occasion is in Russia).
* * *

First of all, I do not trust Leonardo da Vinci about his piety. Thus, as a bad tree bears a bad fruit, I do not trust the value of the Mona Lisa as well as all the other works Leonardo da Vinci presented.

However, from a technical point of view, the picture the Mona Llisa is really appealing.

Traditionally, Japanese artisans are No.1 in the world in terms of creating fine and exquisite handicrafts in various fields. So, only Japanese may be able to sense the level of technique Leonardo da Vinci mastered.

The Mona Lisa is regarded as an application of fine and exquisite handicraft based on a theory Leonardo da Vinc found in terms of relationship between technique and effect.

It is not a miracle result of love, passion, and emotions expressed on a canvas.

It is a result of an application of expertise Leonardo da Vinc mastered.

With the level of technique and expertise, a genius without love and faith in Jesus Christ and God would be even able to depict Him in His most difficult time, such as the last supper.
* * *

Indeed, you do not need faith and love to depict faith and love on a canvas as long as you have mastered the highest technique and expertise in a field of depicting something on a canvas.

But, does it mean that a Devil has won at the highest level of a category of art?

Indeed, the Devil must be proud, but the Devil cannot jump to another higher dimension of art. A Devil's work can be a number one at a certain level of a certain field, but there is another dimension for the field. He cannot win there.

Any picture painted with love and faith in God would surpass a Devil's work even if it is so well depicted with the highest skill and expertise.
* * *

Look at a lovely and decent picture of a young lady you are fond of or love, you will not think that you must be a fool if you cannot understand a hidden feeling of a painted lady, such as Mona Lisa (Joconde).

Leonardo da Vinci loved the smiling of Mona Lisa (Joconde) as he took it in a camera in his mind the moment the model showed for a certain reason.

The smiling just appeared on the face of the model but disappeared forever. Yet, it stayed in memory of Leonardo da Vinci forever. He just put it out of his inside camera to relocate it on a canvas. And, they matched, since he could invent a special skill of depicting something so finely and exquisitely.
* * *

Japanese artisans were traditionally not interested in naturalistic painting. They did not try hard to depict a model so as to present specifically how he or she really looked.

It is rude and manner less.

Indeed, Jesus Christ did not allow for any paintings or drawings of his figure. Even no graphic and realistic description seem to have been allowed.

Yet, He seems to have left a shroud with His images printed on mysteriously, which really amazed, horrified, and moved His followers 2000 years ago.
* * *

However, you may like to see how women who followed Jesus Christ looked like.

So, then, you can look at Princess Diana and Mother Teresa, both of whom however died in 1997, the fatal year leading to 2001 and today.

Can You Hear Me...( Pouvez-vous m'entendre ?)

Can You Hear Me...( Pouvez-vous m'entendre ?)
