WANG Guowei A letter

 

WANG Guowei 

TANAKA Akio

A letter

I met his book at Kanda in winter early 1970s.
He has be alive in my mind since then.
He historically lived in China at setting-sun, the Qing dynasty.
In those days at Kanda 70s, I had been wandering alone like a rhino to which I had the most familiar feeling.
But at where, I was not alone for him.
WANG Guowei, Oh the book Guantangjilin, it is the name that I have taken along with my youth.

I met him at Kanda in winter in my early twenties 1970s.
There for ever
Bright
And ease
With cold wind of dear old Tokyo.
