In Darkness
Fortify
your Outpost
Draw your lines of
Independence
to live Sincere
as a Person
True to Oneself
#闇こそ砦 #川原一之 #上野英信 #記録文学
I lived in Japan for 30 years before noticing the word for fortress. It came to me through the writers of documentary literature. One (traitorous but functional) translation of a title could be:
Darkness is Our Sanctuary
but the more I think of it, these physically weak writers see their only chance to struggle is in the darkest depths of misery, vulnerability.
