Obsessions

My sib, after viewing the house, reported to the others it looked Japanese, which led to emails talking about the influence of the Japanese on FLW.

The other day, we watched Magnificent Obsession, Frank Lloyd Wright's Buildings and Legacy in Japan..
These video's thesis isn't that Wright was influenced so much by the Japanese as they just had absolutely identical ideas as far as organic architecture and were well suited, like a good arranged marriage. It was an interesting video with animation that reminds me of Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame. The music got on Pat's nerves toward the end though.
