TRP and Godzilla, misc.

[Mark Kohut]

One reason the japanese translators asked whether TRP had ever visited Japan was
  because of his letter to an early agent speaking of wanting to do a book containing a Godzilla-like monster.......(Godzilla, or Gojira in Japan, originated fictionally, mythically, as a response 
  to the atomic bombs---and radiation effects----dropped on the two japanese cities, it seems)
   
  So, one---I---can see it fitting into some parts of AtD had TRP wanted to........[Tungaska Event we just passed thru, for example).
   
  TRP is a whole education, at least.

          Could this have to do with his rejection of the East in V.?  He is decidedly western in his perspective and in his mysticism.  The references in AdT to Tibetan translators and translations seem imply the unlikelihood of successful efforts in the field.  Might this indicate a general rejection of Eastern thought?  I'm new here, help me out.

  I read online [in a paper] some [English] words from TRPs japanese translators, who say
  that in correspondence with his agent (and wife, we know), they learned (by asking) that
  one country TRP has never visited is Japan.
