Realizing that I haven’t been posting original content since 2010 (or likely I never did). yet I can’t forget Nara, living history.

Horyuji 法隆寺 (flourishing law temple) the oldest building of the complex (here in the picture) date back to the Asuka Period (550 - 700 AD), both are among the most ancient wooden structures in the world. Originally built in 607 it is said to have been strucked down by a lightning and reconstructed around 711. It is home to a statue of Guanyin/Kannon (관음, 觀音, 観音) - the Buddha of Compassion venerated in Mahayana Buddhism - which has been carved around 7th century from a Baekje craftsman and successively donated to Japan.

 Che mi venga perdonata l’intrusione con la quale non intendo uno show-off, tuttavia stando alle mie conoscenze (e fonti) la versione kanji di　むつごろう dovrebbe essere 鯥五郎 e non  六五郎. Il problema del carattere  鯥 è che non essendo un Jōyō kanji (gruppo di 2136 kanji dei quali si impara scrittura e lettura durante il percorso scolastico pre-universitario) non possiamo scriverlo con la IME giapponese; questo ci porta a sbattere la tastiera ed ottenere l’omofono  六 (むつ) il quale tra le varie pronuncie ha appunto “mutsu”.

鯥 di per sé viene tradotto come gnomefish, scombrops boops. La parte a sinistra è un radicale (una componente indivisibile di un kanji) di 魚 さかな pesce, a destra un radicale che come kanji singolo non compare nei kanji comuni ( 坴) ed è comunemente associato alla terra.

La storia del kanji sembrerebbe essere la seguente: “ un misterioso pesce leggendario il quale corpo sembra quello di un manzo, ha la coda di un serpente ed ali e vive sulla terraferma” (source). ..Dovrei farci un blog su queste storie.

Advanced Math Pickuplines

I’m proving the existence of love at nth sight by induction, and you’re my base case. 

Are you a ring theorist? Cause dat ass is a maximal ideal.

I could extend integrally and show you my going-down-property

“I believe you’ll find my Hardy-Littlewood quite maximal.”

Are you a compact set? Cause I’d love to get you under my finite covers

Is your contravariant hom-functor left exact? Cause I’d like to inject into you.

I wish I were the first N terms of your convergent Taylor polynomial expansion so I could get close to you.

Our love is like the topology on A and B {{},{A,B},{A}}: it’s not discrete, and everything else is trivial (down to homeomorphism).

I wanna simplify the square root of -u squared so u and i can be together.

I feel that you and I can’t be described as the union of two disjoint open sets whose complement is empty.

“My Cox-Zucker algorithm implementation is quite optimal.”

I’ve got an orthogonal non-linear operator that’d I’d love to integrate over your entire surface.

I think our Collatz Conjecture holds: wherever we start, we should end up being one.

You make me NP-hard, but I have an algorithm for you to approach me.

My legs are separable if you’re doing the splitting.

Hey babe, are you an inverse function? Because you make my natural log rise exponentially.

I’d do you like the squeeze theorem - that way I could take you to the limit and hit it from both ends.

Are you an equivalence relation on Cauchy sequences? Because you complete me!

Let’s make a bijective function and get one-to-one and onto.

You and I must be inverse logical functions. Because I could compliment you all day! 

Now i only need to find a cute math nerd to use them on. Any volunteers?
