Yap, It's Really Cool Here! Only Every Other Person Here Ends Up In A Shadow Ban For Some Reason.....

見返り美人図

Today I decided to dress and pose as a famous painting: 見返り美人図 otherwise known as Beauty Looking Back.

This painting was a singular stand alone piece made by Hishikawa Moronobu who is mostly known for his innovative ways regarding the method of coloring for ukiyo-e woodblock. This method was very influential due to how my house simply only had black print before then.

To showcase the painting’s popularity even more so, the “Beauty Looking Back” painting was adopted as the pattern for the first Japanese postage stamp after WW2 in 1948.

I suppose it would be more fun and rather cool if the T-Rex were replaced by Godzilla. Perhaps I can reenact this with one of the replicas at my place…

I just wanted to let everyone know I had a super epic dream where I rode a T-rex!!!

Well, sorta...I think I might've been hanging onto the underside of its neck while trying to avoid getting eaten, but that's still a form of riding it, right? And it was really fun and cool! 😃

Er yes.. if that is okay. May I make some costume adjustments though?

Robin is nowhere in sight. He must be...preoccupied. Maybe he fell asleep in a giant bird nest somewhere.

Are there any other sidekicks available right now? Maybe...Batgirl.

Or another Robin. There are several Robin positions open.

Pochi and I decided to take a small walk today however Pochi had other plans… we boarded the bus and walked over to the local convenience store for sweet treats and onigiri.

Mr. Japan, hello, please tell me about Sukeban. Have you seen them, have you encountered any of them in person? Did they attack you, or did you witness their robberies and fights?

What is your opinion of their actions?

Ah yes, スケバン/助番.

I remember first seeing them in the 1970s even though they first came around in the 1960s I believe.

They are honestly very distinctive due to their long skirts; I’ve never been robbed by them however I’ve witnessed three of them shoplifting at the Itoya Stationery store in Ginza.

They became so high in number that I had to discuss with the policemen of my country on how to identify them. Some 番長 didn’t accept the sukeban into their groups and that’s what kickstarted a lot of sukeban action however in my opinion in recent times I’ve seen more sukeban than banchō.

I'm feeling relatively good, I've been having a lot of headaches lately, but I think that's okay. I'm glad you haven't given up on blogging! ^^

I send my condolences. If you are having migraines I suggest trying to consume Coke; the caffeine is often used to relieve the pain of migraines. There is also migraine relief caps with cooling gel. I am an old man in comparison to many nations so I tend to get migraines and that is what soothes me.

As for blogging, I have not given up. Tama has just been keeping me on my feet with his constant need of tuna. Thank you for your concern.

I can be your sidekick, Mr. America.
