Island of Gods 2
...And this is what a young priestess,' accompanied by her assistant, ritual to hear the voices of gods might have looked like as her male vassals look on. These pics are not from Okinawa but are actually from Yoshinogari archeological sites in northern Kyushu, circa 2nd to 3rd centuries, and are...

Island of Gods
As a matter of fact, many of scenes in our Saki Stories, a.k.a. AGMG and AGVG, use my actual photos as backdrops - and here is one from Ogami Island (residence of Saki and Tomokazu) that has n...

Gatekeepers of Woodward
Unlike the large metropolis like NYC or LA, cities in the U.S. Midwest tend to be very compact in size - and standing in the city center you can look around and tell where the downtown begins and ends, and can also get rough coordinates of where you are with respect to its larger buildings and o...

Now I Am Become
“...We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-...

Dayton, OH
It is fairly well known that this Ohio city was the cradle of modern aviation as we know, as Wilbur and Orville Wright (aka the Wright Brothers) ran a small bicycle shop there - although the caveat is they switched locations a few times, and we know the title of "birthplace of aviation" is also c...

...Akashi had been dreaming. Possibly the extensive breath hold and lack of new oxygen to her brain had caused her to be delusional. Pathetic me, Akashi thought, daydreaming like this after I decided to sacrifice my life. Akashi was now operating at a level beyond any human capa...

(Continued) Personally, one of the notable features of this accident was the very treacherous terrain it happened to take place. Just prior to the crash, one of the plane's wings scraped off a mountain ridge into a U-shaped groove (which is still visible today, a grim reminder) before pounding on...

As we go into the month of August, there are two de-facto "anniversaries" in that are never celebrated nor marked as holidays on the Japanese calendar. One is August 15, which is the end of World War II in the Pacific (which, as a side note, is actually debatable as the signing of articles of sur...

Guangzhou Style
During the past week I was in Guangzhou, China for work (FYI, this is a city a few dozen kilometers inland from Hong Kong or Macau). Although I know not many Japanese people like to travel to this much bigger western neighbor now, and obtaining the visit visa was a big pain, I nonetheless admit I...

BFF?
I've recently heard that the U.S. is often times "benevolently ignorant" of other nations, while the other nations are "malevolently cognizant" of the U.S. I side with this argument. While the others are keenly watching America and reflecting what move would work best in their interest, America a...

The Usurper
Well, this is just my take that, if Facebook was our beautiful front yard with flowers on a porch, Twitter is our concealed sink hole, ready to attack the nonchalant visitors from below to protect our fragile ego.

(continued)..Hans Christian Andersen was a novelist and all his works were gifts of his creative mind. Which is fine, but in the eyes of the "real" folklore collectors of the time like the Grimm Brothers, Andersen was just a disturbance. In fact, it is told that in sincere admiration of these Ger...
