I'm not convinced about your proposed 64k Answer -

that #27 Tama River in Musashi Province

is our River of Consciousness print.

 

How about #12: Sunset across the  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%8Dgoku> Ryōgoku bridge from the bank of the  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumida_River> Sumida River at Onmayagashi

 

Jean - does your answer 

have a past memory event reference point 

are you interpreting present time the look of the print?

 

Seems like I can marshall up memories of the

Land, Mountain, Sea...but

the River print  draws a 100% blank

 

Can someone close to the archives find 

Hoksai prints and snap a digital photo?

 

What do you say Marge, up for a "lost gem quest"?

 

I think it is really interesting that Lee Early and others

Have 1st hand stories  with seeing Fuji from Hoksai's view, 

JWM & Hoksai. These tiny, simple stories occur for me as the

prose version of a haiku - called a haibun. some times they are

only as long as a paragraph from a journal or the back of a post 

card.

 

Haibun stories are journey stories; they tell about a journey within a journey. 

There are always connections to the physical world, 

the natural landscape and this environment may play a large 

part in the human's enlightenment and resolution of the situation. 

 

So they speak from a sense of the factual reality of every day events in which some

small moment of truth has been realized  and is shared.

 

Hoksai's prints always seem to open a new story line. On time 

Bruce Hanson was on a consultancy at Toshiba in Japan. He was

supposed to do an appreciative inquiry - to get the "lay of the Land"

about how they did research. 

He was surprised when they asked him to 

report to a large public meeting. They were very surprised when he

talked from 4 Hoksai prints and saw their research teams as a flow

like the land, river, mountain, sea. Product research teams would form and go

on a journey.

 

1st they would enter into a new land of mysterious  information with no 

clear sense of path or direction

2nd their conversation began to flow like a river of new ideas

3rd as a team began to build prototypes there was a mountain of specific cares to

solve step by step

4th the team would launch a product/service like a small boat sailing against a wave. 

 

He realized a  PHD dissertation from the experience.

He runs an MBA program now in California

It would be fun to get him to share his realization 1st hand.

 

 

Anyone got any other 

Land-River-Mountain-Sea small stories to share,  maybe

-a small scene in a LENS seminar when the mountain decor fell off the wall

-a moment of inspiration when noticing Mt. Fugi in Japan?

 

 

Other thoughts?
