Speaking of kakuyomu (かく = writing, よむ = reading), the work that impressed me the most is a diary kept by a science fiction writer who suffered irreversible brain damage as his condition worsened. He stated that he could no longer do even simple addition, and as the months went by, he gradually lost the ability to write even in Japanese, and it became meaningless in the end. It is as if the process of one soul burning away to ashes still remains crystallized in those words.
