Stray Notes
Not much of a text section, since this book is, instead of a single clear author, guided by an editor with multiple authors. Therefore, my apologies if the format is a bit strange, but hopefully y'all find it interesting!
It's a little tricky to find a lot of high-quality footage from around that time, so my apologies for using the same documentary over and over again
The closest to the Haniwa I could find was the Kodama, so my apologies if some of the examples are a little off. The same is for some of the cuts - I tried to (a) keep them as thematically relevant as possible and (b) make sure they weren't repeated, so my apologies for any concerns that could arise
