Japanese_Virgin_Mary

Fascinating. One of my favorite blog 8Asian’s Koji Steven had a interesting write up titled “Was Jesus Asian?” And while he concludes that he probably wasn’t Asian (he was probably more like Arab people, which is also interesting) the links to images of Asian christianity art are really fascinating. I was baptized in my late [...]

Team Japan hold up the banner after beating Sweden.

I am a WordPress guy, but I have been using Tumblr to document what I eat over at http://daigo.tumblr.com since January 2010.

One of my favorite poem is Ame ni mo Makezu (Be not defeated by the rain) by early-Showa (1920s) poet Kenji Miyazawa, and I’ve found and posted beautiful translation in 2005 on this blog, but Hong Kong musicians got together and wrote a song for it, to benefit the Japan earthquake/tsunami relief effort. (via Gil [...]
