sadakichi hartmann--chrysanthemum dance

"nothing remains but a flash of color, a sudden movement, the twinkling of limbs, an evanescent attitide--a momentary feast for the eye. for one moment it is all motion, joy, ectasy, delerium, there-upon merely an intangible souvenir. ... no other art is so completely dependent on momentary inspiration and influences."
