The sailing ship in the background is KRI Bima Suci, and the statue is the Jalesveva Jayamahe Monument.

[March 8th, 1946] In Poona, Mahatma Gandhi told Sydney Silverman and Mr. Honick of the World Jewish Congress that "Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French". He added that it was "wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs".

Similar events also take place in Buddhism.

So does that mean this scenario doesn't exist?
I'd be happy if that were the case.

If it were because it would make money, there might still be a solution, but I'm scared of the possibility that this outrageous speculation will be correct.

What I'm afraid of is that Trump believes in evangelical apocalypticism and is trying to act according to that script, or rather, what if my speculation is correct?

興味深いのはこの初夢の回文歌の中のNemuliをLで表記していることです。
Hepburnの耳にはRに聞こえたということは、今より日本人の発音は巻き舌だったのかなと思っていますが、NaminoriのほうはRですね。

ご指摘ありがとうございます。
私が書きたかったのは、このような版木で印刷できる部数は少数なので高くなるのも当然だということでしが、英訳がおかしいですね。
江戸時代だと1000部出たら氏神に総出で参ったそうです。

　仏教徒であり、米国人でもない私にとって、そうなのでしかないのだが、その終末論の実現のために戦争をやっているとしたら、いい加減にして欲しいと思うのだ。
　そんなことのために、世界が犠牲になる必要はない。

　カーター以来、大統領選で大きな力を発揮した彼等は一時的にはオバマと組んでいるが、トランプに大きな希望を見た。
　彼等は聖書を絶対視する原理主義者であり、中絶、同性婚に反対している。
　その中絶、同性婚を踏みつぶしていくトランプは、次にハルマゲドンとキリストの再臨を望んでいるという。
　エプスタイン・ファイルに名が載っていることが分かって支持率が下がり、福音派も対立候補を支持する動きがあるが、トランプは現職の大統領だ。
　つまり、核のボタンを持っている。

　加藤喜之著「福音派―終末論に引き裂かれるアメリカ社会(2025年中公新書)」を読んでいると暗澹たる気分になる。

　彼等はイスラエルが大イスラエルになりサタンによって滅ぼされた後にキリストが再臨して1000年王国を築くという終末論を信じており、トランプの政策はこれの実現のためだとあるからだ。
　ただし、福音派は米国の総人口の22.5%をしめ、小さなグループではない。
　全米のカソリック信者、無宗教者と変わらぬ数なのである。

Thank you.

At the time, it was fashionable for members of the British royal family to get tattoos in Japan.
Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any photographs of this tattoo, but it is strange to think of an Anglican man sporting a Buddhist patron deity.

According to the linked article, 23-year-old Prince Arthur of Connaught, who came to Japan to present Emperor Meiji with the Order of the Garter, got a tattoo of Fudou-Myouou ( Acala ) at the hotel.

Apparently my uncle-in-law was in a similar situation when he returned to Japan.
For this reason, he did not join the Self-Defense Forces.

日本では潮湯治とか湯浴み等の名で奈良時代から行われており、水泳の場でなかったのは海水浴であって、海水泳でないことからも分かります。
当時の銭湯は混浴でしたから、着替えの場所などないのかと思ったら、明治期からあるようです。実際、漱石の「こころ」の冒頭に海水浴場が出てきますが、掛茶屋で着替えています。

A copy of a similar Chinese painting painted in Japan.

Since the time of Su Dongpo in China, pictures of dogs underneath bamboo have been associated with good fortune, and are still commonly depicted in Japan.
The basket is made from bamboo, so this is a toy version of it.

The Chinese character for laughing is written with the character for dog underneath a bamboo (technically it's not a dog, but it's a similar character).

Is that a sea cucumber in the foreground?
Or is it some kind of Polyphyllia?

That bothers me too. I would be surprised if the American destroyer scheduled to take part in such exercises was unarmed.

Thank you very much for your advice.
That's a nice photo.

If this isn't composited, is it for filming?

I refuse to do it and no one carries that around.

However, Japanese people do not have any proof of their nationality.
Although foreign residents are forced to have Alien Registration Cards.
And we have no desire to have identification.

The reason Japanese people were put in concentration camps while Germans and Italians weren't is because they looked different.
What would happen if the same thing were done in the US?
