“‘It feels like we’re living in the bottom half of an hourglass.’ Like somehow we’re running out of time. Being buried alive.”

“However any alchemist worth his salt knows that lasting transformation only takes place when the work is accomplished on all levels of reality-the mental, the spiritual, and the physical. The Great Work is actual work to be done with the hands, the heart, and the soul, and not just understood with the mind.”

- Robert Allen Bartlett, Real Alchemy: A Primer of Practical Alchemy (via beatinglionheart)

This is a wonderful ranru, boro.
It was a noragi, farmer’s work wear. It is considered to be from early Meiji period(1868-1912) or earlier, and well well worn and many parts are repaired.
Most fabric is hand plied asa, ramie, and some parts are repaired with cotton.
With rough check, tree stripes of back near the center seam are machine spun cotton fabrics ( from mid Meiji period(1868-1912) or later ), but all the rest fabrics seem to be hand spun/woven ones.

“Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique have a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.”
