HiLobrow on Objectography

‘We demand a great deal from our objects: that they be functional, that they be meaningful. And yet they also stand apart from us; like creatures at the edge of a clearing, they peer off elsewhere in feral disregard.’ I think the Japanese have a better understanding of objects in this regard (cf Matt Webb muses on tsukumogami).
