Notes:

Brian Nishii is great! He really made the long journey come to life in the audio. I'm sure I only caught 1/3 of the references and things the story held because I'm not Japanese, but what I did grasp was pretty great and I can see why this is a classic. The movies only give a glimpse of the facets & ideas from the book. I'm glad I read it and I'm sure I'll read it again.

The story comes across as being very simple but it is the layers of common things that make up a complex whole.
