Dodes'ka-den

When the tram lights at the end swept across the mentally handicapped's hut, the bright colors shone in front of my eyes and in my heart through the splendid paintings in the house, but I seemed to be unable to speak, even to express pity and sadness. This light illuminates a beautiful picture, but it also sweeps away sadness and despair. I don't even know who is sad and who is happy. Maybe you would say that art always exaggerates and magnifies life, but I believe that life is more cruel than art, because the extremes of human nature's good and evil definitely exceed the artist's cognition and even their imagination. Everyone is just a mirror, which reflects the problems of the whole society. People with morals and grief are constantly exploring and verifying the process of human history, and asking God what is the ultimate destiny of human beings. Whether it is a pessimist or an optimist, they all have the same belief: for a better future for mankind. It is because of these lovely people that I still look forward to tomorrow.

Dodes'ka-den quotes

  • Beggar: Our house ought to be built on a hill. We Japanese used to build houses in valleys and mountain coves. We've always preferred the lowlands.

    Beggar's Son: That's true. I saw pictures of foreign countries. They have their houses in high places, but ours are in low places.

    Beggar: There's a reason for that. There are many earthquakes and typhoons in Japan. Wooden houses in high places are easily shaken by earthquakes and typhoons. So they chose the lowlands to avoid the danger. But that's not the only reason.

    Beggar: [continues] The Japanese prefer soft light to bright sunshine. We like shady places. We like to live in the midst of nature. So we couldn't get used to concrete houses.

    Beggar's Son: That's right. I don't like concrete houses either. They're too cold for me.

    Beggar: But we shouldn't forget one thing. It's true that wooden houses suit the Japanese people. But we mustn't cling to our culture and characteristics if we become weak and lose endurance as a result. By living in houses made of stone, iron, and concrete, foreigners have strengthened their characters and capabilities. Now we're building our own house. We must take our future into consideration. We must think of you, your children, and your grandchildren.

    Beggar's Son: Yes, that's true.

  • Beggar: I've been thinking all evening about the house we're building... Looks like you're sleepy?

    Beggar's Son: No, I'm not sleepy. I'm listening.

    Beggar: The gate comes first. The gate is the face of a house. The face shows the character.

    Beggar's Son: Mm hmm. That's right.

    Beggar: Since we're building a house on a hill, it must be in a European style. How about rococo? Or Spanish style? British style isn't bad either... They're a bit showy. It should be neither too fancy nor too imposing. I want a gate both plain and inviting.
