Into the Timeless Romance Of "Maison Ikkoku"

"Dive into the Timeless Romance of Maison Ikkoku: A Tale of Love, Laughter, and Second Chances 💕✨ Takahashi Rumiko once described Maison Ikkoku as 'a story about ordinary people living in a shared house, filled with laughter and tears.'

She says:"Maison Ikkoku was relatively easy to create. That’s because my own personality is in some ways like you added Kyoko and Godai together and divided by two. Sometimes I’m indecisive and sometimes I’m selfish (laughs)." And indeed, this beloved manga transcends the bounds of time with its heartwarming narrative and relatable characters.

In Maison Ikkoku, we follow the journey of Yusaku Godai, a young student residing in the chaotic boarding house Maison Ikkoku, and Kyoko Otonashi, the beautiful and enigmatic manager of the establishment. As their paths intertwine amidst the backdrop of daily life, misunderstandings, and comedic mishaps, a tender romance blossoms, fraught with obstacles and second chances.

Takahashi's masterful storytelling brings to life a cast of characters so vivid and endearing that they feel like old friends."

Archaeological Developments that Rock!

With Amazing archaeological discoveries,that are taking place in iran things are getting much more light,thus providing us more chance of understanding what shaed the land thta is Iran.

Sassanid coin depicting Empress Boran on view at Tehran museum-April 2, 2024

TEHRAN - A significant historical artifact, the Sassanid coin featuring Empress Boran (Purandokht), daughter of King Khosrow II, is now on display at the Money Museum in Tehran

This coin holds immense value as it represents the first official depiction of a female ruler in Iranian history.

In 629 CE, Purandokht ascended to the throne and ruled for a year, during which she authorized the minting of coins bearing her name.

The silver coin depicts Empress Boran in the form of a female figure with intricately woven hair, while the reverse, like other Sassanid coins, features a fire altar with two attendants guarding the flames.

To provide visitors with a better view of the coin, the museum has installed larger images of both the obverse and reverse sides on the walls, allowing guests to easily admire the depiction of Empress Boran.

In about 220 CE, the Sasanian dynasty of Iran introduced the concept of thin flan coins, issues that were struck in relief on both sides. In order not to produce intolerable stresses in the dies, since the thinner the material the more force necessary to make it flow into the recesses of the die’s design, the depth of relief on such coins was of necessity much shallower than with earlier currency. Such techniques spread by way of Byzantium to northern Europe, where the emperor Charlemagne struck thin flan deniers (small silver coins), or pennies, which became characteristic of both his own and neighboring kingdoms.

The Sassanid era saw a general renaissance in the nation’s art and architecture. As scholarship was promoted by the government and many works from both the East and the West were translated into Pahlavi, the Sassanian people’s official language, crafts like metalwork and gem engraving reached a high level of sophistication during that time.

The Muslim conquest of Persia, also known as the Arab conquest of Iran, led to the fall of the Sasanian Empire in ca. 651 and the eventual decline of the Zoroastrian religion. The rise of Muslims coincided with an unprecedented political, social, economic, and military weakness in Persia.

‘Important’ ruins unearthed in downtown Isfahan-April 5, 2024

TEHRAN – Archaeologists have unearthed an array of “important” ruins and centuries-old structures in Isfahan, which was once the capital of Persia during the Safavid era (1501-1736).

The discovery was made in the Zarrin-Kamar passageway situated in downtown Isfahan adjacent to the UNESCO-registered Jameh Mosque of Isfahan, IRNA reported on Thursday.

“The passageway is situated in the heart of the historical fabric of Isfahan, and significant evidence from various historical periods has been discovered within it,” Ali Shojai Isfahani, who presides over the archaeological team, said.

“Archaeological findings unearthed from the Zarrin-Kamar passageway span from pre-Islamic times to the Qajar era.”

Recently, a routine urban dig revealed evidence of two architectural structures. Consequently, that operation was halted, and urban archaeological operations began with an agreement between the Cultural Heritage Research Institute, Isfahan’s Urban Revitalization Organization, and the Art University.

Shojaei Isfahani, referring to the digging of five trenches during the archaeological operation, stated: “Under the sediments of the first trench, evidence of a series of engraved objects (related to irrigation and water supply) were found, which requires further examination to predict their antiquity, but it is likely that these artifacts date back to the period before the Mongol invasion of Isfahan.”

“These engraved objects raise the question of why these water structures were decorated, which needs further investigation.

The archaeologist continued: “It is probable that these water structures were [once] visible and aesthetically pleasing.”

Furthermore, another trench led to the discovery of a kiln, which is of great importance from a historical studies’ perspective, he explained.

“It appears that this kiln was dedicated to baking a specific type of pottery, but there is still doubt in this regard,” Shojaei Isfahani added.

He continued: “The antiquity of this kiln may be attributed to the 7th century, indicating that we are facing an industrial complex on a part of this passageway.”

The archaeologist said: “Another trench led to the discovery of an architectural structure that appears to belong to the late Islamic period.”

“Here, stone walls and brick floors came to light, which requires further examination and research for dating.”

“One of the existing pieces of evidence is that the dimensions of one of the brick floors found in this passage are identical to the dimensions of bricks found in the dome chamber of the Jameh Mosque of Isfahan, suggesting that these structures may belong to the Seljuk period. However, this requires further investigation.”

Isfahan was once been a crossroads of international trade and diplomacy in Iran and now it is one of Iran’s top tourist destinations for good reasons as it is filled with many architectural wonders, such as unmatched Islamic buildings, bazaars, museums, Persian gardens, and tree-lined boulevards. It’s a city for walking, getting lost in its mazing bazaars, dozing in beautiful gardens, and meeting people.

The ancient city is renowned not only for the abundance of great historical bridges but also for its ‘life-giving river’, the Zayandeh-Rood, which has long bestowed the city an original beauty and fertility. Isfahan has long been nicknamed Nesf-e-Jahan, which is translated into “half the world”; meaning seeing it is relevant to see half the world. In its heyday, it was also one of the largest cities in the region with a population of nearly one million.

The cool blue tiles of Isfahan’s Islamic buildings, and the city’s majestic bridges, contrast perfectly with the encircling hot, dry Iranian countryside. The huge Imam Square, best known as Naghsh-e Jahan Sq. (literary meaning “Image of the World”), is one of the largest in the world (500m by 160m), and a majestic example of town planning. Constructed in the early 17th century, the UNESCO-registered square is punctuated with the most interesting sights in Isfahan.

Apart from its cultural heritage gems, Isfahan is home to some heavy industry, including steel factories and a nuclear facility on its outskirts. A top destination when it comes to medical tourism, the ancient city is also home to a gigantic, professional, and state-of-the-art healthcare city, which is a major destination in the realm of medical tourism.

Name Shiraz identified on clay seal of Sassanids, archaeologist says-April 6, 2024

TEHRAN - In a remarkable archaeological revelation, the name “Shiraz” has been identified in Pahlavi script on a Sassanid-era clay sealing.

The finding is important due to cementing the history of Shiraz, which is situated some 60 km south of Persepolis, once the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire (c. 550–330 BC).

The sealing, excavated near the city of Shiraz at the site of Qasr-e Abu Nasr, is being kept at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

On Saturday, Iranian archaeologist Mohammadreza Nasab-Abdollahi affirmed to ISNA news agency that the inscription “Mugh-e Shiraz” has been deciphered on these Sassanid clay sealings.

Explaining further, the member of the Iranian Society of Archaeology described such sealings as pieces of clay of various dimensions and shapes, crafted to seal documents and goods. These sealings were imprinted with a seal, leaving an indelible mark on the clay.

“These clay sealings, due to their firing process, have a remarkable durability,” Nasab-Abdollahi added.

He noted that these sealings were unearthed during three seasons of archaeological excavations by experts from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, conducted from 1932 to 1935.

According to Nasab-Abdollahi, archaeological investigations indicate that Qasr-e Abu Nasr in Shiraz exhibits a cultural sequence from the Achaemenid to the Abbasid period, with its primary settlement dating back to the Sassanid era.

“The archaeological findings from Qasr-e Abu Nasr reveal a wide spectrum of administrative systems, techniques, and defensive structures,” the archaeologist remarked.

Furthermore, he emphasized that archaeological evidence from the Sassanid period, including such clay sealings, as well as artifacts from the Achaemenid era such as inscribed bricks from Persepolis, corroborates that the city known today as Shiraz bore the same name in antiquity and was among the significant cities of ancient Iran.

According to the Met Museum, this sealing was impressed with four seals of varying sizes. The imagery on the seals depicts a lion walking right, a monogram, an inscription, and a horned quadruped.

The sealing was among over 500 sealings excavated in the Sasanian fortress at the site of Qasr-e Abu Nasr. The cache was preserved because the building had burned, baking the clay and retaining the seal impressions.

These small clay objects played a role in Sasanian administrative practices. A piece of clay is pressed around a cord to close a document or package and then stamped with a seal. In some cases, these removed sealings seem to have been deliberately stored for administrative purposes.

Excavated by archaeologists from The Metropolitan Museum of Art for three seasons from 1932-1935, Qasr-e Abu Nasr is located near Shiraz in southern Iran at a strategic point at the intersection of defensive mountains, available water sources, and along roads entering the Shiraz plain.

The eastern part of Qasr-e Abu Nasr is a raised plateau of a roughly triangular shape. During the Sasanian period, the plateau was fortified by a wall and densely occupied. Archaeological finds from the fortress show a wide range of defensive and administrative practices.

Celebrated as the heartland of Persian culture for over 2000 years, the capital city of Shiraz has become synonymous with education, nightingales, poetry, and crafts skills passed down from generation to generation.

Shiraz was occupied, at least intermittently, from the Parthian period (3rd century BC–3rd century CE) to the Muzaffarid period (13th-14th century CE). The major occupation, including the extensive fortress, dates to the Late Sasanian period (6th-7th century CE).

It was one of the most important cities in the medieval Islamic world and was the Iranian capital during the Zand dynasty from 1751 to 1794. Moreover, Shiraz is home to some of the country’s most magnificent buildings and sights. Increasingly, it draws more and more foreign and domestic sightseers flocking to this provincial capital.

Eram Garden, Afif-Abad Garden, Tomb of Hafez, Tomb of Sa’di, Jameh Mosque of Atigh, and Persepolis are among the historical, cultural, and ancient sites of Shiraz that are of interest to domestic and foreign tourists. The ancient city is also home to some magnificent historical gardens such as Bagh-e Narenjestan and Eram Garden, which are top tourist destinations both for domestic and international sightseers.

The Death of Toriyama Sensei(:

I'm so tasked with things to square them down,properly solve them that i didn't do blogging for the Death of the famous Creator of DragonBall,Toriyama Akira.Please forgive me.

Toriyama Sensei died on March 1, 2024 at age 68 due to acute subdural hematoma.

His Life,his Great Creations

He began his first serialized manga, Dr. Slump, in 1980, and it inspired two television anime and multiple films. Toriyama followed it up with Dragon Ball, which ran from 1984 to 1995, and is still inspiring manga and anime sequels and spinoffs today. The manga's Dragon Ball anime adaptation, its sequel Dragon Ball Z, and its other numerous sequels and anime films are equally as well-known as the manga, and its hero Goku has become a character known throughout the world.

He's also well-known as the character designer for the Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Blue Dragon and Tobal games.

Most recently, Toriyama was working closely with the production for the Dragon Ball Daima anime series, the most recent anime series based on Dragon Ball, and is credited for the new anime's story and character designs.

Below:Toriyama Sensei and his son Sasuke playing Dragon Quest 3 some time,in the late 1980s. Wholesome,because albeit the Sensei was busy to create(and manage his plans)he did spent time with his family:)

My Say:

We're mortals,with physical needs and troubles.However the Japanese people ,the mangaka,particularly Toriyama sensei give us the lesson:That you have the Wright,and Obligation to create something Profound and great,and not being a NEET. The man has inspired me too.May he rest in peace:)

My concern with MAO translations..

Recently came a creative ad campaign for the "Stop Pirate Edition" program,to combat the pirating of manga ran in the Asahi Shimbun today. It has a number of panels from manga such as Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, One Piece, Banana Fish, Bleach, Golgo 13 and many others. See below:

Is manga piracy really the case..?Not that simple as it sounds.

Reading it I just pondered not so much about the manga piracy-but more about the removed MAO translations blog! Now we're reaching the sad anniversary of the disgraceful removal.

I'm the first ever person who asked the question to fellow blogger @Ka-go-me. See below https://ka-go-me.tumblr.com/post/717595141861523456/hi-i-try-to-find-your-mao-translations-blogbut

Why was it a disraceful move of VIZ media?

Because she had legally purchased the MAO raws,straight from the source,doing every week her best on translating each MAO chapter,since DAY One literally ! VIZ media began the translations of MAO a year after its debut.

Why did VIZ did treat awfully our fellow @ka-go-me ?

I guess due to envy on her,for her splendid,consistent MAO-translations.And everyone could compare between the two teams of translations,thus detemining:Their translations would look inferior to hers. @ka-go-me had made a Truly Wondrous work:)

I'm seeing her as Positive model:Because her good education,her consistent blogging,her fluecy on Japanese,and about making the whole MAO translations. She was also making the Hanyo No Yashahime translations.But this also got removed,for the envy of VIZ(:

as a inukik shipper i always wanted to know if inuyasha was originally supposed to end up with kikyo instead of kagome

Hi Fella. Rumiko sama,for a long time,didn't know with whom he would finally be. Once he listened the opinion of Kagome's seiyu(:voice actress), Yukinno Katsuki. "Kagome would want to be with Inuyasha",Rumiko agreed after she realized what kind of life Kagome would lead if she wasn't with Inuyasha.*1

I here state that Sunrise made awful depiction of Kikyo,twisting her to seem more as monstrous.It's one factor that led the occidental viewers take this nasty stanch on Inuyasha's First ,Solid Love.Kikyo.

However I praise Rumiko sama,who crafted this Profound,Intelligent series.Where it gives us the Great love of InuKik,and the closure they were Worthy to get.

Cheers:)
