00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:03.190 align:middle line:90%
All right, next.

00:00:03.190 --> 00:00:04.866 align:middle line:90%
OK, please.

00:00:04.866 --> 00:00:05.792 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

00:00:05.792 --> 00:00:08.340 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:08.840 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:12.780 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:13.800 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]?

00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:38.910 align:middle line:84%
This March, 1990, I was walking
in Nagara river East of Kyoto.

00:00:38.910 --> 00:00:41.610 align:middle line:90%


00:00:41.610 --> 00:00:50.790 align:middle line:84%
The river is now trouble with
big project building dam.

00:00:50.790 --> 00:00:57.550 align:middle line:84%
So I walked from the mountaintop
to the ocean with a friend.

00:00:57.550 --> 00:01:01.020 align:middle line:84%
30 people started,
and, at the end,

00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:04.709 align:middle line:90%
500 people walked together.

00:01:04.709 --> 00:01:13.230 align:middle line:84%
And, one morning, I found
an ancient earthenware

00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:13.950 align:middle line:90%
on the riverbed.

00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:18.890 align:middle line:90%


00:01:18.890 --> 00:01:24.050 align:middle line:84%
"Twilight to men,
before sunrise,

00:01:24.050 --> 00:01:31.070 align:middle line:84%
I ramble along the river
Nagara in thick fog.

00:01:31.070 --> 00:01:35.360 align:middle line:84%
Among pebbles in
the riverbed, one

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.270 align:middle line:84%
broken piece of earthenware,
Neolithic Japan,

00:01:41.270 --> 00:01:46.470 align:middle line:90%
maybe 5,000 years old.

00:01:46.470 --> 00:01:53.100 align:middle line:84%
In twilight fog, somebody
walking in front of me

00:01:53.100 --> 00:02:01.100 align:middle line:84%
but just shadow is he
the earthenware maker

00:02:01.100 --> 00:02:09.320 align:middle line:84%
mingling with pebbles, mingling
with fog, drifting on river,

00:02:09.320 --> 00:02:12.570 align:middle line:90%
drifting on history?

00:02:12.570 --> 00:02:19.060 align:middle line:84%
I will be a twilight
man tomorrow.

00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:24.185 align:middle line:90%
What will be my earthenware?"

00:02:24.185 --> 00:02:26.610 align:middle line:90%
Does it makes sense?

00:02:26.610 --> 00:02:28.160 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:29.000 align:middle line:90%
