Aoife lore drop won the poll!

Since Hachimon is a flesh trader Aoife assumed he had been involved in her trafficking. (I say assumed, she was right, he was.) and therefore was one of her first (official) targets.

pero la ira nos invadía, la sangre hervía, la ansiedad eterna 

[urarengearchive]

          due to constant use of the forbidden eight gates technique, lee’s body will begin to suffer the consequences in his youth. i know i’ve talked about it before (here’s the original hc post) but specifically it becomes apparent and ‘diagnosed’ after the war, when he notices soreness in his joints that doesn’t go away with proper stretching and self-care. 

          his chakra pathways ‘blow out’, his cartilage diminishes, his muscle mass decreases, and his bones ache as more time passes with more and more use of the gates. 

          he begins taking medication, applies salves, and has physical therapy once a month in his mid-twenties, but this is only to slow the deterioration. it cannot be cured. the damage is done and lee shows no signs of slowing down or stopping despite the cost. he’s built his entire life around becoming a great shinobi and he tries not to let anything stop him, but it is definitely something he will struggle with for the rest of his (sadly, somewhat short) lifespan.

Kakagai week

day 3: combat

This one is about the first time Kakashi saw gai using hachimon tonkou. Kakashi was in serius trouble and without chakra and Gai came for his rival and had no other solution but this… Gai was like: you can let this for me this time, rival. 

It’s a little time after Minato’s death. Gai as chunin and kakashi anbu. The chronology is so confuse with their past…

I’m still trying use photoshop to paint my drawings, but we still do not get along very well…

It’s not a fight between them, but they’re in a battle together …

But when you look at it from a different angle...

They look so awkward af lol just look at Hachimon's face 😂 he's like "Is this even necessary?" 😂😂😂

Introduction to Shimenawa and Torii

And now I can finally get to what I wanted to talk about when I started my last info dump, the entrance to a Shinto Shrine. The Entrance to a Shinto Shrine is almost always marked by a Torii gate. But not always. Sometimes the entrance will be marked by a pair of lone posts, post connected by a Shimenawa rope, or a pair of trees linked with a Shimenawa rope. At the moment it would seem these are also referred to as torii when used to mark the approach of a shrine even though these gateways would not be recognizable as torii by most outside of Japan. The rope is usually made from rice straw, but can be made of hemp and even plastics. https://www.japanvisitor.com/japanese-culture/shimenawa

The use of plastic is a fairly modern practice. Rice and hemp will last about three years as I recall, depending on the environment, where plastic can last decades. The reason for using rice has nothing to do with a shortage of rice straw and everything to do with a shortage of people who know how to make the straw ropes. In early times rope might be used to mark out a property line. In order to distinguish between a property line and a sacred space straw tassels or paper strips (shide), or a combination of the two would be used. The shide are those little zigzag strips. The number and placing typically depends on the size and length of the rope as well as the custom of a given shrine and it’s intended use. The Shimenawa with shide is used for purification as well as marking out a sacred space. Plots of land will be marked with shimenawa prior to use, shimenawa can be used on torii, to encircle trees, mark out processional lanes, provide purification in shopping arcades, they may be used in the home for purification on new years, and placed in front of the household Shinto shrine known as a Kamidana. Oh, and if it’s available for sale on line it’s for primarily decoration use. The number of shide attached to the Shimenawa for home use will typically be three to four, but that’s not a hard and fast rule only a recommendation as an especially large shimenawa for home use could have up to five while a small one may only fit two. Recommendations regarding the placement of tassles and shide may be shrine specific as well. Shide can be displayed either in front of tassels or between. A quick online image search will show you that shide are normally attached between the tassels by most shrines but may also be placed directly in front of the tassels. Shimenawa come in a seemingly endless variety which each shrine having their own preferences. https://www.nippon.com/en/views/b05204/

From Wikipedia, a New Years decoration attached in place of the usual shide. By katorisi - Own work, CC BY 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=3323326 When used specifically for New Year’s festivities the Shiminawa may be displayed with oranges, fern, pine branches, and other festive ornamentation.

Keep in mind that there are two types of household shrines, the Shinto Kamidana and the Buddhist family alter.

Shimekazari (注連飾り) is a special type of Shimenawa that is looped.

The torii depicted is one I made, the Shimekazari on it came from the Portland Japanese Garden in Portland, Oregon. The entire arrangement was for New Years in 2018.

And now onto the Torii. Torii are nowhere near as endless in variety as shimenawa are. In deed there seems to be only about a dozen basic design shapes if we discount the wide verity of garden decor all claiming to be torii. As for the origin of torii, I’m inclined to think that the Japanese Torii originated independently to be influenced by Chinese design and aesthetics.  

The most basic torii is the Shinmei torii. To build one you need two posts with a shimenawa stretched between also known as a chūren, or three logs and a board. Two logs for the upright, one log stretched across the top, and the board fitted between the uprights just a little lower than the top log, called a nuki. The Ise torii adds a section to protect the top crosspiece. This is the roof of the structure and called a kasagi. The entire top section is referred to as the Kasagi when it’s all one piece, otherwise that top section includes the Kasagi and the shimaki. Next in line is the Kashima torii, followed by Kasuga, Hachimon, and the Mihashira torii.

The Tōhafu torii seems to be it’s own unique style demonstrating both traditional and Chinese influences.

The Mihashira torii also known as the mitsubashira torii and sankaku torii. This torii is unique in that it has three posts, three nuki, and three kasagi. Only one is publicly accessible that I’m aware of, it has a cairn at its base as well. According to Janus: records also state that the three pillars symbolize the heavens, earth and mankind. There is also a reference in the record which asserts that this torii had a connection with Nestorianism, Keikyou 景教, an ancient Christian sect which thrived for about 800 years in the Near East and Central Asia. It is possible that the three-pillared torii may have had a Christian connotation. http://www.aisf.or.jp/~jaanus/deta/m/mihashiratorii.htm

For this reason the three-pillared torii has become rather controversial and has been denounced world wide by the very community who now clamor for everything Shinto. Looking on the internet I found at least two sites that look to be accessible but I have yet to verify this. Whether or not the possible connection to Nestorianism is real is immaterial. To practice Shinto is to accept all faiths, consider all possibilities, and to strive to live in harmony. It is only the destructive habits and teachings that are to be challenged and set aside.

After these we start seeing torii that show Chinese influence with upturned ends on the kasagi. These are the Myōjin family of torii wich include the basic Myōjin style, the Nakayama, Daiwa also known as the Inari torii, Ryōbu, Miwa, Usa,Nune, Sannō, and Hizen. Each having it’s unique differences.

Torii can be made of just about anything. Wood is the most popular, followed by stone and then iron. Some notable torii is the large speaker torii in Kamiyama, Tokushima, the Grecian inspired torii made by Kyoto artist Doumoto Insho which stands in the now abandoned Oiwa Jinja, the Motoki Torii which is a massive stone carved torii, the Otorii at Kumano Hongū Taisha which is 33.9 meters tall and 42 meters wide and the largest in the world, floating torii of Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima, and finally I’m going to conclude this list with the One legged torii of Nagasaki. The one legged torii of Nagasaki is a survivor of the atomic blast and has become a sacred sight in its own right.

One final note before this gets way too long. Expect to find torii and even shrines in unusual places if you ever get a chance to go to Japan. I will admit that I myself have yet to have the opportunity, but I’ve scoured the internet long enough to know that urban sprawl has on occasion completely enveloped shrines. In many ways I am lucky to live in the Pacific Northwest where there is a shrine even though I can’t go to it right now. I am hopeful that 2021 turns out better than the previous year.

I ran across the term chūren just as I was getting ready to post and found the above infographic that has most of the basic styles. Finding good solid info from reliable sources can be difficult. The practice of search engines to decide it knows better by delivering what it wants as apposed to what we are actually searching for can make some searches near impossible. The internet is also full of blogs written by people who just discovered the “New Faith” [face palms]. Yes, I actually saw someone referring to Shinto as a new faith. Um, no, it’s hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years old.

What I want for you as the reader is to have the tools to be able to do informed research of your own. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of others. Be weary of anyone who is dogmatic in their thinking. And finally, always remember that Shinto is a culturally sensitive tradition with many facets. If it’s not of Japanese origin, it’s probably not part of Shinto and shouldn't be mixed.

Ok, I’m certainly learning about a lot of new things as I read through Kozure Ookami. Chapter 7′s title is 八門遁甲の陣 (hachimon tonkou no jin), which roughly means something like The Mystical Eight Door Battle Formation.

The English translation for Lone Wolf calls this chapter Eight Gates of Deceit.

So what’s the deal?

遁甲 (tonkou) refers to a type of Eastern astrology. In particular, there’s something called Qimen Dunjia, which in Chinese is usually spelled 寄門遁甲, which is an ancient form of divination from China. It was originally used with figuring out military tactics. It uses a 3x3 grid.

I’m not exactly sure where “bamen” (八門) comes into play. But either way, Japanese audiences are probably familiar enough with the term  遁甲 to understand the meaning here.

Western readers are probably much less familiar with the terms, and so they’ve chosen a different tact in translation. As far as I can tell, nothing in this title suggests “deceit,” and so the English translators are probably using something that happens in the chapter.

I tried Inktober for the first time ever this year....and failed X'D

The prompt was to draw an original character every day through October and I have enough of those! Here are the OCs (except day 4, which is a drawing of my first dog, Ringo) I managed to do  and post on Twitter before life interrupted/I was too tired/I lost inspiration. =v=

How many do you recognize? ;D
