Quote of the moment
There was certain person who had a passion for the handguard of a short-sword that was said to have been made from a nail-cover taken from the palace of Xianyang; he always had it at his waist and cherished it. How much did this antique, inlaid with a bird-and-flower pattern of precious metals, and evoke the splendor of a thousand years! However, asking about what proof was there that this was indeed a nail-cover from the Xianyang Palace is nonsensical talk. Somehow, if he had not claimed it was a nail-cover from the Xianyang Palace, it would have been a wonderful thing, and it is regrettable that he did. Even if it had been woodshavings from Nagara Bridge or the dried frog of Ide, I am sure that the people of today would find it contemptible and dubious. Tokiwa Tanpoku’s Korean tea bowl had been carefully preserved by the warrior Otaka Gengo; it was handed down to Tanpoku from that very Gengo, and Tanpoku bequeathed it to me. Indeed it had an eminent history of past possession, but what proof was there? Lest it should become like the nail-cover of Xianyang palace, I quickly gave it away.
