"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Last Entry Of The Day
At dinner, waiting for a table, sitting on a bench outside. Two young women ask if they can join me. They are wearing collars. Connected to each other by a chain. California. I love this place.
