I suppose that the lesson to be learned is that it's easy to make assumptions. And what was all that Korean furniture doing in Japan in the first place? Peters never commented on that. He loved the Korean furniture. The Japanese architecture was, in fact, Japanese. Bringing all those temples over from Korea would have been a monumental task. So the Japanese settled for only Korean furniture it would seem.
Maybe you can tease some meaning, or lighthearted humour, or something out of it. Maybe. I'm not trying to burst any sacred bubbles. Just passing along an interesting read.
Cheers.
