I see signs of the middle class and its
tremendous sacrifice of time for
stuff microwave, coffee maker, motorcycle,
truck, two expensive cars.
All adults working as hard as is possible for the
stuff of modern living computer, cello,
electronic keyboard, drums, violin, radio.
TV/VCR. Piano, organ and drums.
Fans, electronic rice maker, electronic hot water
heater they all, spill out of the kitchen to
spread everywhere.

These possessions are just too many the
appliances, the musical instruments, the
bookstoo stacked to keep contained within the
framework of a traditional Japanese farmhouse.
Too much stuff just like in my house.

Kimonos contain women bathrooms contain bathroom
shoes and a composting toilet with a blue terry
cloth towel seat cover a plastic Maxcel VCR
cover contains tooth brushes kitchens contain
kitchen shoes compounds contain outdoor shoes
Buddhist shrines contain gifts to the ancestors
Shinto shrines contain talismans and avatars to
the many gods farmhouses contain the farmer and
his wife the more modern structures contains the
principal and his familymarked plots contain the
ancestors. I wonder what things are worth the
spillage what things are worthy of the
containers?
