About

“Crawling High” is a personal literary website by Takaya Yamamoto, also known as TeaBlinker. This site primarily features essays and short stories. While society is composed of various perspectives, the defining characteristic of these works is the focus on the underlying structures of phenomena rather than individual positions. I explore how to interpret situations where emotion and logic seem irreconcilable amidst a cross-section of complex viewpoints. While rumors and transient trends on the internet vanish as quickly as they appear, I strive to present a consistent, personal perspective. The articles and titles found on this site are translations of original Japanese text authored by myself. No AI is used in the generation of the source material. My goal is to provide translations that remain strictly true to the original writing.

For those interested in structural analysis and philosophical insights, the following articles are highly recommended:

Furthermore, many of the essays and stories are narrated from a birds-eye view. However, the narrators in the following works are driven by their own raw desires. These pieces utilize honest and visceral expressions of longing; please be mindful of this if you are sensitive to such themes.
