The title of Rinko Kawauchi’s latest work, Ametsuchi, is comprised of two Japanese characters meaning »heaven and earth,« and is taken from the title of one of the oldest pangrams in Japanese – a chant in which each character of the Japanese syllabary is used. Translated loosely as »Song of the Universe,« it offers a list that includes the heavens, earth, stars, and mountains.
