- Nostalgia ( p145 )
"I always feel a certain nostalgia now in recalling the city centre as it was in those days; the streets were not so filled with the noise of traffic, and the factories had yet to take the fragrance of seasonal blossoms from the night air."
Ono is thinking about good memory of this neighborhood.
- Silhouette ( p146 )
"I could see numerous silhouettes dancing behind the paper screens, and a singer's voice came drifting out through night to me."
Ono saw the silhouette of colleagues through the window of Mori-san's villa.
- Fatally flawed ( p149 )
"Perhaps you'll feel the same one day for the work you've done here. Then he shook his head again, saying: But these are all fatally flawed, Ono."
- Transient / Transitory ( p150 )
"But as for those pictures up there, they don't even hint at these transitory, illusory qualities."
Mori-san thought that artist can capture and show moments of our beautiful world.
- Easel ( p161 )
"In the summer months, many of my colleagues would set up easels spaced out at points along the verandas, or else out in the yard itself, while others insisted on reserving large numbers of rooms because they liked to circulate from room to room according to the light."
Many colleagues set up easels in the villa for their painting.
- Traitor ( p165 )
"Ono-san,' he said, in a near whisper, 'you are a traitor. Now please excuse me"
After the Tortoise saw Ono's unfinished paintings, the Tortoise thought that Ono's works are something wrong, so those will not be acceptable for colleagues.
