"Whenever I think up a story, I always remember the times I used to go to Shirakawa-go. After the sun sinks on the town deep in the mountains, there is a great loneliness. And because of that, there is a great brightness to the hearth fires; there is a warmth in the people's voices and a certain thickness to the night. The next morning there's a luminance to the sunlight and mist. It was so alive that my body, used to a life lived mostly at night, took quite a while to become accustomed to it. Feeling myself so strongly seduced by both the light and darkness is something that I never want to forget." - Yuki Urushibara
