this is how she fight start: The Violent Century

http://fightstart.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-violent-century.html

This is how she fight start. Wednesday, 1 July 2015. Lavie Tidhar, 2013. Atmospheric. Metatextual. Short sentences. No quotation marks. Evocative of McCarthy. Evocative in general. Europe descends to war. People fight the Nazis. The Nazis fight back. Also Vietnam. Also superheroes. Following on from the world Fantasy Award winning Osama. Noirish pulp. Again. He’s very good at this, the whole atmosphere thing. That’s a bit of a double edged sword though, to be honest. Strong characterization; interesting ...

Site Update – Rekishi Nippon

https://rekishinihon.com/2015/06/06/site-update

After 2 years with the same theme, I decided to make a change. Please tell me what you think. I hope this new theme will showcase more of the articles on the front page so people can get a better idea what the article is about. The layout I think is a little more organised than the last one as well. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:.

Kyoto, Meiji Period print. – Rekishi Nippon

https://rekishinihon.com/2015/02/05/kyoto-meiji-period-print

Kyoto, Meiji Period print. I have had this print on file for a while but was never able to find the details of it other than it was Kyoto. Thankfully a fellow Japanese history lover found the info. You will see that I have two versions of the print. One is probably the original colourised one while the other you can see has been further enhanced. Thankyou and enjoy this great print.

hopeful in nagoya: Study in Nagoya

http://hopefulinnagoya.blogspot.com/p/studying-abroad.html

This is just a page recounting some of my impressions of Nagoya and Nanzan University, which I experienced as an exchange student through IES, for other students interested in study abroad. If you have a question you'd like answered more in depth, feel free to email me at tananaesp@gmail.com, or leave a comment on an entry. (You'll probably get a faster answer with an email). Nagoya isn't a city you hear too much about, though I don't know why you wouldn't! That said, the IES application seems to do a go...

hopeful in nagoya: Culture Shock

http://hopefulinnagoya.blogspot.com/p/culture-shock.html

What are the top causes of 'culture shock' in Japan? Besides the fact that you might have suddenly become a racial minority, in my experience the top causes of culture shock in Japan are, in no particular order: language, transportation, clothing, and food. Well, this is really no surprise. Has anyone experienced the social anxiety of speaking with strangers at a party? Take a breath and relax. There's a way to combat this. How are you supposed to get home from parties? Plus, you can always get a bike, t...

hopeful in nagoya: Part 5 (last) of "Happiness Has the Form of a Kitten" (Otsuichi)

http://hopefulinnagoya.blogspot.com/2011/08/part-5-last-of-happiness-has-form-of.html

Part 5 (last) of "Happiness Has the Form of a Kitten" (Otsuichi). Murai hadn't been to school for one week. That morning I was having trouble getting up, and the curtains weren't open. When I realized this, I had a sad premonition. I sat in a chair. This was the table where Yukimura listened to the radio at night. I sat there and thought of her for a long time, silent. If I had done that, I wouldn't have been feeling this kind of sadness. What was my life worth, in the first place? It took me a long time...

hopeful in nagoya: 御神酒天神, or Gods Enjoying Alcohol

http://hopefulinnagoya.blogspot.com/2011/10/or-gods-enjoying-alcohol.html

御神酒天神, or Gods Enjoying Alcohol. Saw this commercial the other day, featuring Demon Kakka and Karina. Does Demon Kakka and what happens to his face remind you of anyone. I've introduced you to before? Yes, the からくり人形 mechanical puppet representing a god/spirit whose face gets red when he drinks! Well, you probably got the joke even without that extra bit of knowledge, so I can't take credit for teaching you anything. Mechanism' started off as a hanging scroll constructed like so.
