I have the window open and just saw a cat run by, followed by a lady shrieking “RASPUTIN!”

The duo exhibition Isamu Noguchi and Hiroshi Teshigahara ( Sogetsu Plaza, 1980.)
“Both my father Sofu and I knew Isamu well. I heard from my father that Isamu once said, “If you set a pine, it should not look like a pine. It is very difficult not to make it look like a pine, though. Am I right, Sofu?” My father took the words very seriously because, I think, they reflected Isamu’s original view of ikebana that the particularities of pine as a material are supposed to have been digested and assimilated into the completed ikebana work. I like these words very much, too.
