And by the way, as someone seriously interested in Japanese prints and ceramics, I am somewhat disappointed with Saito. It would appear she's been contaminated by her New England milieu.
The answer to Peter Joslin's question as to who decides strikes me as obvious: I do, for me, always and everywhere. Other people's views may be considered, but it is up to me to agree or disagree, and my decision is final and based on my criteria. That means other people's aesthetics are their business and need not be mine unless I find them convincing and true to my understanding and taste.

Nice Saturday upon awakening read with coffee and dogs already let out. Thank you
