"Resistance is futile"

Posted by Stu (Scotland | Residing in Kyoto, Japan) on 22 May 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Taken in the same area as yesterday's post, this one shows the contrast between old and new. It seems to me that the pylon is actually weighing down on the woman in the field, seemingly symbolising the pressures faced by those trying to maintain the traditional ways of life.

This is Japan: the sublime and the hideous in chaotic mixture. (As a fellow Japan resident I hope you'll allow me the hyperbole.) Powerfully done.

So interesting the mix of human form and man-made form.

I feel the same way you do. I got the impression though that most Japanese aren't bothered by such things. What's your take on the Japanese viewpoint?

@Steve Rice: I'm not sure Steve. It's hard to find out a Japanese person's opinion on anything, as you know. If they do mind they aren't giving away any clues to it. Thx for checking all my posts!
