Omi woody arch tour

[imomus]

Spent the weekend amongst delicious wooden architecture in Osaka, Nara and Omi Hachiman, where Henri de Charpentier (a Japanese homosexual dandy with pocketwatch and lorgnette) and Phirip (glitch bracken cake maker and performance artist) conducted their warabimochi sukiya tour, pointing out traditional Japanese wooden buildings as well as colonial-style wooden constructions by anti-property missionary architect William Merrell Vories, who believed that Omi was the centre of the world. The town has certainly become the centre of my August, and I'm becoming convinced that we should all live in wooden houses, make wooden instruments, and soak all day in wooden baths in public bathhouses. A bath made just for one, even a nice deep spilly cedar box-bath, is a prim bourgeois error.

A Catholic dandy, yes--and only a deathbed conversion at that--but a Protestant one? Very Angels in America, no?

My coterie of catamites are a local gayboy 'hardcore' hip-hop outfit who are rumored to moonlight as phone sex operators. They're always trying to convert me, which is flattering.

Many thanks for the information. I shall investigate...
