<p>Great news! SANDiego looks like a city where one can have fun. Although... it looks like I would be pretty busy dealing with Sandpo in Japan after seeing that picture. I suggest you open a position in Tokyo.</p>
<p>I HAD to google that neat japanese sand construction, it is part of a temple complex in Kyoto, in a garden that includes a "sea of sand". </p>

<p><em>"Next to the sea of sand you can see a cone shaped structure rising 2 meters into the air. This is called the <b>Kogetsudai</b>, or Moon-viewing Platform. There are several theories about this mountain shaped creation. Some believe it is meant to resemble Mount Fuji, while others say it was designed as a simple mound of sand used to replenish the walkways. Still others say that the cones of this type (they are located in other temples in Japan) are meant to reflect divine light into the hearts of the visitors. No matter what the true purpose is, the Kogetsudai illuminates the Silver Pavilion on moonlight nights, making for a magnificent sight. In addition, it is said that from above the Silver Pavilion the Kogetsudai upon the Ginshaden resembles the silvery full moon reflected in a deep lake."</em></p>

<p>Dear Erni, yes, the Japanese sand aesthetic is highly refined. Here, the approach, as stated so perfectly in the Jim Carroll quote from yesterday, it is very much about the relationship of the sand to the HOLE - a use of negative space perhaps? An Aesthetic of Depletion continued. I already worry, is there enough sand in the world for this venture?</p>

<p>Katerina, thanks. This is wonderful. There is a great deal of Sandpo and related action in the IUOMA Haptic Poetry Group too. Marcela Peral has emerged as the Sandpo Laureate of Argentina. I know we have some translation challenges. So I'll post another photo from her. </p>
