葛飾応為 Katsushika Oi*
I'm giving myself a strict four hour deadline to get Arisugawa Park 1.12 - "Empathy" up... I've been promising it too long.
This section is the first between Kaori and Yuki, the book's two female characters in their early to late 20s (I was about that age when I started the book). It has been a fun and challenging section to edit. I was satisfied with the result the first time around, it was one of those that I always breezed through rereading.
That said, when I dug in I found a lot of shoddy wiring. Now that I really know who these characters are, I can tell everything with more conviction. Shadow boxing with who they later become.
In related news, I am working on a short audio accompaniment to 2.12. An Arisugawa Park podcast, if you will. This will be for après-read consumption, while waiting for the next section to take shape.** My own candid thoughts, wherever they lead. I am aiming for a dozen or two of these AP Podcasts over the course of this laying onto you of an extended cloud novel of Japan.

*葛飾応為 Katsushika Oi - Old friend and fellow blogger Miwako laid on this painting by Hokusai's daughter from the Menard Art Museum in Aichi. It reminds me a bit of Yuki, a few generations transposed.
** For now the podcast will be on Soundcloud, while I figure out the steps necessary to make it go live on Apple Music.
