Reisebericht Triptychon eines Mönchs 旅の報告 | Tamada玉駄 (unbekannt) | 1767- ? (dat. 1831)Dies ist wohl die eigentmlichste Kalligrafie der Guignard Kyoto Collection. Es handelt sich um einen Reise oder Pilgerbericht eines Mnchs, der alle reichen Eindrcke von seinen besuchten Orten festhalten wollte. Er hat sich auch selber portrtiert und verrt hier mit einem kaum wahrnehmbaren Zwinkern der Augen seinen Witz. Sein Priestername ist Tamada. Das erste Zeichen tama bedeutet Juwel, das zweite kennt man eigentlich vor allem in der Kombination

Dies ist wohl die eigentümlichste Kalligrafie der Guignard Kyoto Collection. Es handelt sich um einen Reise- oder Pilgerbericht eines Mönchs, der alle reichen Eindrücke von seinen besuchten Orten festhalten wollte. Er hat sich auch selber porträtiert und verrät hier mit einem kaum wahrnehmbaren Zwinkern der Augen seinen Witz. Sein Priestername ist Tamada. Das erste Zeichen tama bedeutet „Juwel“, das zweite kennt man eigentlich vor allem in der Kombination dame, „schlecht“. Aber auch fast alle anderen Verbindungen, die das Zeichen ta eingeht, stellen etwas Negatives dar. Also würde dieser Priester auf Deutsch vielleicht „Erbärmlicher Edelstein“ oder „Juwelen-Armseligkeit“ heißen – wie man es nimmt: das ist nicht gerade ein Name, der Respekt heischt. Solche exzessive Bescheidenheit gefällt Mönchen oft.

Wahrscheinlich hat sich noch niemand die Mühe genommen, diesen Text zu lesen. Die Textbahnen sind 130cm lang, und die Zeilen sind sehr eng nebeneinandergesetzt. Man schafft das Lesen nur, wenn man vor der aufgehängten Rolle für den unteren Teil in die Hocke geht. Dass man nach dem Aufstehen den nächsten Zeilenbeginn erwischt, ist problematisch…

Doch wie hat der Mönch geschrieben? Lange Formate wurden in der Regel am Boden gemalt, doch dann musste auch der Schreiber mindestens viermal die Position wechseln, um eine Zeile zu schreiben…

Wie muss man also diese Kalligrafie verstehen? Wahrscheinlich hatte der Mönch nicht im Sinne, sich effektiv mitzuteilen. Er schrieb diesen Bericht für sich, und obwohl der Schriftstil sehr elegant und flüssig ist, wollte er bestimmt Zeit brauchen - er wollte seine kostbaren Erlebnisse nicht schnell hingeworfen haben. Der äußerst mühsame Schreibvorgang sollte ihm wohl die Tiefe seiner Erlebnisse fühlbar machen; und am Schluss sollte die ganze Reise als Triptychon an einer Wand sichtbar werden - aber eigentlich nur verständlich für ihn selbst, nicht für jedermann.

Wir haben es also hier auch mit einer Meta-Sprache zu tun: Der Pinselduktus ist sehr lebendig – auf Phasen dunkler Zeichengruppen folgen solche mit dünnflüssiger Tinte. Damit entsteht ein faszinierendes, zartes Gewebe von großem Textur-Reichtum. Nur wenn wir diesen auf uns wirken lassen, erleben auch wir etwas von dem tiefen Vergnügen, das dieser Mönch auf seiner Pilgerreise erfahren hat.

Imagery and diction
Format: Paperback
This book was very challenging to read because everything was written in quotations however, it was intriguing as a different way of writing poetry.

I tend to leave most books in this genre disappointed. I miss the classics
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book after hearing Stacey Lee speak about narrative tension at a lecture for YA writers - the talk was specifically entitled, "How to keep them up all night." The lecture (alongside Anna Shinoda) bit off a rather large amount of material. Neither woman mentioned vampires. The methods they discussed were smart, creative, and delivered with just enough humor to leave me wondering whether I'd be able to put their debut novels down. I devoured GONE WITH THE WIND at least six times cover to cover between my sophomore and senior year. While I am more susceptible to the Historical Fiction page turner than the average girl, I tend to leave most books in this genre disappointed. I miss the classics. I opened this book determined to not judge it by its gorgeous pastel cover. I started slowly. I enjoyed the first four or five chapters - leaving each fully appreciative of Lee's craft. I particularly enjoyed her ability to pepper humor though tragedy. I often complain about writers who miss the mark here. Stacey Lee nailed that important believable balance for me. I liked her characters quickly. I left each chapter satisfied, but thoroughly able to get up and go on with my life. Like a jaded Thumper in Walt Disney's BAMBI, this book was more than nice, but I wasn't susceptible to any kind of teen-aged Twitterpation over it. After the sixth or seventh chapter - four or five days after I first picked it up, I quietly closed my copy, placed it on my nightstand, switched off my lamp, fluffed my pillow and turned over. I turned over again. I flipped on the light - OK, just one more chapter... I zombie sleepwalked to work the next day. That night I retired early, making some completely convincing excuse about being exhausted. I was certainly too tired to read. Flash forward to 6AM when I woke up with this novel on my face. I turned it's last page this afternoon, fully satisfied. I am truly sad it's over. This book transported me. It's one I'll want to have in my collection forever, alongside the beautiful books that mattered to me as a teen; JANE EYRE, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, UNDER A PAINTED SKY. Classic in feel, subject matter, and voice - but modern in approach, I'd be as comfortable recommending it to my book club as I would handing it to any teen. Readers of all ages and walks of life will surely find something that resonates with their own stories too. As for me, I am sure I'll be back on the trail with these girls-- I mean boys, before long. Now I'm off to try my hand at Anna Shinoda's LEARNING NOT TO DROWN. Well, maybe tomorrow. I need a good night's sleep and it's clear these authors know how to keep those pages turning.

Good, Fun, Important Topics
Format: Paperback
Good, solid, read for ages 12+. Somewhat unrealistic and yet believable story of two strong young female characters traveling west disguised as boys. Couldn't stop reading it until I was finished with the book, and now my granddaughter is doing the same. This book has many relevant themes about race, gender, class, religion, and other stereotypes and is an excellent choice for a classroom or family read aloud. Get it.

Wonderful story, great for book club though written by a young adult author.
Format: Kindle
Such a “cliffhanger” for me, a just could not put it down. I read this Wild West historical novel three times, that is how good it was. Such great fun for me, while got the ladies in our book club talking about growing up, being brave.

My pick for Best YA from 2015
Format: Kindle
I don't usually like Westerns, but this historical novel reads like a racially diverse Little House on the Prairie. There's a touch of romance, but the most important relationship is the friendship between these two resourceful girls. The writing is superb with well developed characters, a fast pace and a fine sense of place and period (1849). Despite dealing with tough issues like murder, slavery and racism, it still manages to be a feel good story, appropriate for tweens as well as teens. The girl protagonists are 15 and 16 and the boys are a bit older. This debut tops my list of best YA from 2015 that I've read to date: http://blog.sarahlaurence.com/2015/12/best-ya-books-of-2015.html
