And for music, here’s Haruomi Honsono with some 1980s ambient shopping music Hana ni Mizu (trs: Watering a Flower) which he wrote for Japanese retailer MUJI (YouTubers here’s the original cassette version). For those interested, here’s a radio documentary on avant garde ambient music in 1980s Japan.
“…papers like egrets” Now I ask you, can anything be described more brilliantly? I don’t think so. I just love this. And now I’m off to listen to music. ❤️

Thanks Misky. There were handfuls of sparrows, a bell-tower of swallows, 3 flamingoes and even a pelican before the egret appeared…
