Plomer's interest in Japanese culture, too, stemmed from his association of Japan with queer sexualities. His biographer, Peter Alexander, provides a delightful story about Virginia bringing Plomer to Quentin Bell's 19th birthday party at Charleston only a few months after he arrived in England from Japan, where he first met Roger Fry, Duncan Grant, Vanessa, and Clive, among many others of the group. The Woolfs and Forster showed deep interest in his thoughts on Japan and Japanese art and literature, and he often gave talks on the subject. In Japan, Guan Yin is often called "Kannon" or "Kwannon" (which, as I just learned from a bit of diving on wikipedia, was the inspiration for the name of the camera company, Canon).<u></u><u></u></div></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></div><div><div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">On Thu, Sep 13, 2018 at 2:08 PM Brenda S.
