Umar Rashid
Kagetora’s dream in the time of Sakoku. (Reds and Blues). Part 1
The limits of isolation on the body politic creates the pockets of resistance. The rebellion is always glamorous in the beginning.
The revolutionary ultimately dies, acquiesces, or embraces escapism as a balm. The visionary, however, maneuvers uncertainty with purpose and nurtures the vision beyond the boundaries of mortality. There, it grows. Long live the dreamers of the impossible dreams. In Kirin, we confide.
