In Search of the Mask of Satori. Saturday, October 09, 2010. When they’re bad they hurt. When they’re good they’re not good enough.”. That's the idea, let's abuse each other. They turn, move apart, turn again and face each other. He wilts, vanquished, and turns away.

Ron Campbell's Blog: The Wrestler and the Sensei.

http://roncampbelltempest.blogspot.com/2011/12/wrestler-and-sensei.html

In Search of the Mask of Satori. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. The Wrestler and the Sensei. Mirrorly a Clown, Reporting the Facts. A place is its people and people are their stories and there are two stories that have come to remind me the most about my time in. The sister city of San Francisco; Osaka, Japan. Two people whose stories are so different and yet the same. Both are artists, gifted practitioners of completely different art forms. Both lead double lives, like super heroes with their alter egos.

Ron Campbell's Blog: Akuma Barai. 悪魔払い

http://roncampbelltempest.blogspot.com/2015/01/akuma-barai.html

In Search of the Mask of Satori. Wednesday, January 07, 2015. Akuma Barai. 悪魔払い. Don't get it. Never got it. It feels like a completely arbitrary chronological indicator of unrealized potential. Yes, there is physical evidence that 365 days is a worthy placeholder in our collective book of days with the seasons and their ancient and mostly forgotten- unless you're a farmer or a haiku. And the arrival of Screen Actors Guild screener DVDs in the mailbox. So I don't get it. Yes, New Years celebrations are a...

In Search of the Mask of Satori. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Of Crickets, Flies, The Ghost of Oiwa and the Unexpected. In a time before the intrusion of electricity on the narrow streets that still crisscross haphazardly around Yotsuya Temple in Edo era Tokyo. Only the waxy glow of lanterns lit the narrow alleyway that led to the home of Iemon, a samurai whom the fates had blessed with the fatal combination of being both luckless and hot tempered. And the lanterns flickered deep into the night. A glint in th...

In Search of the Mask of Satori. Saturday, May 12, 2012. 妙 and 間 (Myō and Ma.). Good Ink, Fukuoka. I recently returned back from Japan. I performed 453 shows in four cities there. Our 3000 seat big top was usually full. I joined and trained in Iaido in four separate dojos. I was there for the earthquake. And the cherry blossoms. (twice.). I got lost. (a lot.). This word has two meanings. It means indescribably beautiful. It also means strange. So as far as meaning is concerned this word is an acrobat.

In Search of the Mask of Satori. Monday, August 30, 2010. Is the Japanese kanji for tree. Add a little line at its base and you have this kanji: 本. It also, not surprisingly means book. A good book is like a hypodermic filled with inspiration that you use to stab yourself straight through to the brain vein. A hook you bite with your eyes. A book is a thing of transport. A conveyor belt of black squiggles on white paper. A roller coaster ride down a rabbit hole of words. A good book is also a Time Machine.

In Search of the Mask of Satori. Thursday, April 21, 2011. Andre Breton, in his Surrealist Manifesto published in 1924 described it as this. SURREALISM, n. Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to expr. Ess - verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner - the actual functioning of thought.

In Search of the Mask of Satori. Saturday, March 12, 2011. I Want To Live Again! On a recent day off from the circus I had the good fortune to get a glimpse into the spawning ground of the most subtle, compelling and elusive masks of all. The masks of the Noh theatre. Through an email introduction made by Theatre of Yugen. Artistic director Jubilith Moore. I got to spend the day with. A famed mask maker who is also a g. Entle soul possessed of a quiet mastery of his art. M of my desire to see his workshop.
