    Osamu Nonoguchi did indeed quit teaching and become an author; yet it remains unclear what he really thought of being a teacher.

    My only insight comes from something he told me once.

    "The relationship between teacher and student is based on illusion. The teacher is under the illusion that he is teaching something. and the student is under the illusion that he is being taught. What's im- portant is that this shared illusion makes both teacher and student happy. Nothing good is gained by facing the truth, after all. All we're doing is play ing at education."

    One wonders what could have happened to make him think such a thing.
