I continue to document this odd moment of my existence. MOST people ask about the Japanese replay tradition & Records of Lodoss War because of genuine curiosity. I explain scope (I’m telling the history of circulation of audio/visual recordings online) & it’s all good. Others are trying a gotcha.

The five-pointed star at Kyoto’s Seimei Shrine resembles a Western pentagram, but the two are unrelated. It stands for the Five Elements of Chinese cosmology (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) and serves as a charm against misfortune.

I just accidentally ate an entire jar of homemade pickled beets and then tried to drink the juice too before it was wrenched from my grasp by horrified onlookers but understand they were so so good and also the beet pickler has a donkey his name is Dominick.
It's August. It's my birthday month. I'm also sick rn and need to restrict dairy temporarily (it's a throat issue and I don't want more mucus etc). Could use the boost (of dopamine if nothing else) so share/RT/toss coins if you got 'em.

the year from hell continues. Went downstairs to a dead fridge full of room temp food. It's 19 years old, so it is what it is. Hospital bills and reduced capacity to work related to them the last year have literally left me destitute, so all I can do is ask for help. ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...

Hokkaido Univ. apologizes over past research on indigenous Ainu remains - The Mainichi

Daniel Kaihatsu (開発 妥仁得)@kaihat.su · last wk.Hokkaido University has acknowledged that its past Ainu research was rooted in discrimination and prejudice, issuing a long-awaited apology after pressure from Ainu groups and apologies from other academic bodies. While many welcome the move, issues such as stolen remains are still unresolved.
As an aside and as someone who's only relatively recently started seriously reading academic reviews, albeit in Japanese studies, it's amazing how harsh folks could be back in the day. Compliment sandwiches made with thin bread and razor blades for filling.
@timoconnorbl.bsky.social · 5d agoCertainly, some of the, “Hah, you think that’s mean, you should see what we say in our professional reviews” stuff doesn’t exactly speak to a welcoming and collegiate field.

Query for seal script 篆書 folks -- an early 20th C. (probably) ownership seal in my copy of Fukuzawa Yukichi's Seiyō jijō 西洋事情. Looks like 好古山蔵書印 to me, but the 山 doesn't match any example I've seen so far. Also could 好古山[人] be Kuki Bunnosuke 九鬼文之助? Any suggestions much appreciated!

I really enjoyed this episode - I'm fascinated by the dynamics through which nunchaku, samurai swords, and other East Asian martial arts weapons have been popularized, portrayed, and then often regulated in Western countries, especially the US and UK.
