To be honest, I am incredibly mixed about this article. It's contents and the actual history part of it are interesting, and it makes me want to research the topic more. But, on the other hand, it's so incredibly patronizing. It felt like the entire time was telling me "you're an idiot. Everything you know is wrong." It would say that no western critic has ever looked at this, despite being written by a western critic. It felt like the author was just pushing that he was better than his contemporaries. But the contents are interesting. Didn't know about the arcade notebook.
