" There is no leisure in a life of indolence. That should be left to the birds and beasts. There is seclusion even in a crowd, Tranquillity in the streets of a town. The mountain clouds are free from worldly attachments, They come and go of themselves. How can the place to bury one’s bones Be limited to the green mountains? "

― Eiji Yoshikawa , Taiko: An Epic Novel of War and Glory in Feudal Japan
