Chiura Obata (小圃 千浦 , Nov. 18, 1885 - 1975), Setting Sun, Sacramento Valley

Chiura Obata was a Japanese-American artist.  A self-describled “roughneck”, Obata came to the United States in 1903, at age 17. After initially working as an illustrator and commercial decorator, he had a successful career as a painter, following a 1927 summer spent in the Sierra Nevada, and was a faculty member in the Art Department at the University of California at Berkeley from 1932 to 1953, interrupted by World War II, when he spent over a year in internment camps.

“People — and I’m no exception — seem capable of forgetting almost anything, much as if our island were unable to float in anything but an expanse of totally empty sea.”

There comes a time in the life of every human when he or she must decide to risk “his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor” on an outcome dubious. Those who fail the challenge are merely overgrown children, can never be anything else.

"We are both the mind and the observer of the mind. Therefore, chasing away or dwelling on any thought isn't the important thing. The important thing is to be aware of the thought. This observation is not an objectification of the mind: it does not establish distinction between subject and object. Mind does not grab onto mind; mind does not push mind away. Mind can only observe itself."
