" “I never said, ‘I want to be alone,’” [Greta Garbo] explained, according to a 1955 piece in LIFE magazine. “I only said, ‘I want to be let alone! There is all the difference.” "

"...there is compelling evidence that the #sakoku phenomenon has been exaggerated historically [and can be] ascribed to a form of Eurocentrism... in which... non-Western societies are viewed primarily from a Western perspective"

Re "sakoku", Tokugawa shogunate's isolationist foreign policy:
"One element of [the Tokugawa bakufu] agenda was to acquire sufficient control over #Japan's foreign policy so as to not only guarantee social peace, but also to maintain #Tokugawa supremacy over the other powerful lords in the country"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakoku
🔸Wondering if current US admin is trying to emulate Tokugawa bakufu's foreign policy?🤔

There are no truly evil villains in Ihara Saikaku's stories, just people caught helplessly in life's vortex. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/12/17/japan/history/ihara-saikaku-japan-literature-history/?utm_content=buffer209d6&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #history #sakoku #iharasaikaku #chikamatsumonzaemon

Even Japan's "sakoku" policies couldn't deter the lovers, artists and poets from their muses. After all, we humans tend to look for beauty where we can. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/11/27/japan/history/matsuo-basho-sakoku-japan/?utm_content=buffer55916&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #history #matsuobasho #sakoku
