EN: There are however women whom I feel are exceptional in their fe-mininity: for example Garbo or Dietrich; Hollywood made them into a type of identifiable artistic symbol. Han Takehara and Haruko Sugimura are a similar phenomenon. The fact that they are women can be withheld at first. Then their performing material can be laid out and they can draw on what is useful and set it out in "preparation", as if in a cooking process.
CN: 有一些令我感到很特别的杰出女性，比如葛丽泰·嘉宝和玛琳·黛德丽，好莱坞使她们成为了一种典型的艺术象征，武原藩和杉村春子也都是一种相似的现象，事实上她们的“女性身份”在大众眼中不会被第一眼就意识到，然后她们可以展示自己表演所需的材料，并在准备过程中就刻画好自己想要呈现的角色，就像烹饪过程一样。
EN: The 21st century is about to begin. I do not know what the world will look like. But the essential substance of which people and their feelings are made will not change.

EN: People who know how to play like children, adapt every space which is given to them. From an isolated space capsule, they can create a cosmos. Such, I think, are people with a theatrical soul.
CN: 那些知道如何像孩子一样玩耍的人，会利用起他们所拥有的每一块空间，即使是在一个孤立的小房间里，他们也能创造出整个宇宙，我认为这样的人就是具有戏剧灵魂的人。
EN: My twilight Geisha time will soon be over. It is moving into evening sunlight. Time passes like the critically decisive instant…
CN: 我的黄昏般的艺伎生涯就要结束了，它正在进入月光般的新时期，不过，这样说不是很悲伤吗？时光飞逝，就像那些绚丽美妙的瞬间。
