THE WORD FROM JAPAN - "Mimei": THE POINT OF THE DAY

Mimei the word, translated here as "daybreak", means this particular moment of the night when we sense dimly arrival of dawn, without the black sky is so far clarified. It is in this moment, as the great poet and ethnologist folklore Orikuchi Shinobu (1987-1953), the young priestess in ancient times, were using their Asama, their "eyes in the morning," to read fate auspicious or harmful, reserved for new day ahead.

Who today has eyes as fabulous?
