http://www.cyberoz.net/city/sekine/bugslovi.htm

Extractions: May 10,1999. M.Sekine The Japanese people are great lovers of bugs - dragonflies, beetles, butterflies, cicadas, grasshoppers, etc. The fact that from early days of Jimmu, the first emperor, Japan has been known by a pseudonym, 'Akitsushima', or Dragonfly Isles, indicates how important these small forms of life have been in Japan's culture. The glistening, cherished memory of one's boyhood centered around catching bugs in a green field on a bright summer day. In the height of summer, going to the countryside and catching insects was an adventure for us in childhood. We used to make wonderful discoveries about nature in coppices, ponds, brooks, and paddy fields. The late Tezuka Osamu (1928-89), the most famous cartoonist and animator in Japan, also had a passion for insects - so much that he created a pen name for himself, using the Japanese character for "insect" in his first name, Osamu. Like the famous French entomologist Jean Henri Fabre before him, he observed insects and other life, and grew up as a lad with a vivid imagination. Tezuka Osamu developed a profound awareness of the values of life. The comics and animation that Tezuka created began to influence all genres of expression, including literature and film. Recently, Kevin Short, a naturalist in the Japanese countryside, said, "Tezuka's works must have reflected the wonderful experience that he had, having been brought up with insects. The mysteries and wonder of nature with which he had been deeply impressed in his childhood must be the source of his imagination. The Japanese even have a special word

But first, let me recap our weekend in Nazareth. That race didn't turn out as good as we expected, but we still came out with some reasons to keep our optimism. Cristiano Da Matta tests his No. 6 Newman/Haas Racing during practice for the Firestone Firehawk 600. It will be the 300th race for Newman/Haas Racing. We had very good strategy when we pitted from third place, but nobody could foresee caution flags on almost twenty laps. The result of it was that cars that finished ahead of us did not have to stop for more fuel, as they were able to save it during those slow laps, and we could not go back to the front. The reason for optimism for us was that once again the car was great during the race, and when it was all said and done we kept leading the Championship, although tied with
