Is rationalism a humanism?

[Belacqua]

Ah shit, read some haiku.

Santōka Taneda visited my neighborhood several times during his wanderings. Before my time, of course.

The house where he stayed is just down the hill from me. It's the only pre-war building still surviving. Small, but with a lovely garden. 

The current owner is a young designer who appreciates its history. He showed me the scars on the wooden beams caused by flying glass when the Bomb hit.
