Friday – Light rain
Went to Ito again as Mr. Toda’s representative. Met with I. and S. Bewildered by the change in their position. I cannot grasp the subtleties of these older men’s conversation.
Boarded the train after 4:00. At the sight of the still eastern sea with its wave gold and silvery under the moonlight, I felt as though transported briefly from reality to a dreamlike world of sacred art. Reached Tokyo at 7:00.
Returned to the office and then went immediately to Mr. Toda’s house.
I reported everything to him in detail. He was in an extremely foul mood.
Home at 11:50.
