Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio(聊齋志異), written by Pu Songling during the Qing Dynasty, is a collection of 491 supernatural tales featuring fox spirits, ghosts, and demons.
Pu's narratives show more compassion for non-human entities than humans and satirize social issues of his time.

This book is cogsci.
Just not classical cognitivism.
Not what's become popular on EduSocialMedia.
It's enactivist cogsci.

Laying down a path in (biology) teaching.
This is how to provoke understanding in practical detail.
How to teach in adaptive dialogue & diagrams.
How to see with systems theory & variation theory.
This is a new way of being & doing. This is a new model.

This fountain pen is inspired by the elegant folding screen paintings of Sakai Hōitsu, a painter from the Edo period. The delicate brushwork is precisely recreated using urushi.
Our workshop can faithfully recreate any painting by hand using urushi.

It is really hard to keep it factual. But it is what is needed.
My opinions have to wait.
