	[minstrels] The Buddha at Kamakura -- Rudyard Kipling
		I don't know if Kipling ever made the trip to Kamakura to gaze upon the Great Buddha, but his poem upon the subject remains, in my opinion, one of the most perfect evocations ever of 'the Soul of all the East'.
		The first Shogun of the Kamakura period, Yoritomo Minamoto, died and both of his sons were assassinated; power then passed to the Hojo clan (to which one of his wives belonged).
		From: "gmason" This is for "The Buddha at Kamakura" by Rudyard Kipling.: Kipling was criticised by the establishment of the Empire at the time of his writing for being too close to the native and too close to the native's aspirations.

		What makes Kamakura's work even more astonishing, is that it is done on an inexpensive Olympus C800L digital camera, which is the same model introduced two years ago in the U.S. as the D300L.
		When he is satisfied that the image on his monitor is exactly what he wants, Kamakura sends the digital file out to a service bureau where a LightJet film recorder is used to make a 40-line base conversion to a 35mm color transparency.
