TIME
In Kyoto, the past is sometimes so strongly present that it seems more real than what’s here-and-now — this sudden glittering synthetic dream, this alien cabled web of metal, concrete, glass, asphalt. To almost every previous generation living beside the ceaselessly flowing Kamogawa, today’s city and its lifestyle would have been wholly unimaginable. We reside in only one of old Kyoto’s infinite number of possible futures. With hindsight, always the illusion of inevitability. Looking forward, the illusion of absolute freedom of choice. This paradox is just one of the great mysteries of Time.
