Book Recommendation : JAPAN JOURNEYS

Unlike today where you can post countless travel photos on social media for all to see, in Edo Period Japan, people share pictures of beautiful travel destinations via woodblock art.

After years of civil wars and restrictions on individual mobility, travel became a popular leisure activity in Japan, thanks to the development of a network of well built and fairly safe roads.

Like today, traveling provides opportunities to experience culinary and cultural specialties. This enjoyment was reflected vividly in woodblock prints for those who did not get to travel.

These prints were sold or displayed at marketplaces or festivals where people get to see beautiful sceneries of places they had never been to before, which encouraged more to travel.

The historic views of Japan have been preserved over the generations, offering a fascinating perspective on familiar locations for tourists both domestic and foreign today.

In this book, art historian, Andreas Marks, has gathered a selection of detailed woodblock prints depicting scenic spots and cultural icons that still delight visitors today in Japan.

You’ll see what places like Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo looked like in the 19th century. And you’ll be surprised to see how the temples and castles look the same but not the background.

Buildings and architectures that have withstood the test of time, being rebuilt or preserved from Edo Period till today, which makes Japan one of the most unique travel destinations.

A pleasant read for travel and Japan enthusiasts who love photography and art. As each woodblock print has a story of its own through the eyes of the Japanese artists.

The dream: Laying on the couch, reading a spicy book while I get eaten out. Being denied and told, "Keep reading.." every time I drop the book or close my eyes from how good they feel between my legs. Thighs shaking as the characters in the book have their way with each other.

I was told a good way to learn a language was to read translations of books you already know by heart.

Book of the day #3 (Free Therapy in a Book)

My Father's Eyes My Mother's Rage By Rose Brik

"Isn't it beautiful to find out that we are not alone in our suffering?"

What a true sentiment this is. This poetry book contains a trigger warning SO PLEASE do take into mind how far you are in your healing journey. The first time I picked up this book I ended up reading this in one sitting and since then kept it by my side as a source of comfort while trying to make sense of my own internal wounds. I truly believe pain can be alchemized into art, and this is exactly what this book represents. As I all but consumed the pages before me I couldn't help but be inspired by the authors way of writing down what so many people are afraid to admit out loud. Below are my favorite verses from the poetry book .

"She was so sweet without the anger, innocent like a baby. She would say I was so wise and then ask for my advice, she trusted me. I couldn't abandon her, even when her cruelty outweighed her humanity. Some days I think that nobody in the world has ever loved their mother more than me." - Rose Brik 53

"When people tell me to stop crying and not to be weak, I revolt in tears. May they drown in my sadness. Let them feel the strength in my misery."-Rose Brik 159 " I've heard you can't love again until you've healed. So, when he is tending to my wounds, what is this warmth that I feel?" Rose Brik 222 " My mother didn't want to hurt me, but she was broken. Her brokenness cut into me and made me bleed. She didn't know how to love, or at least how to love me. It didn't even matter that she hurt me; I just wanted her to be sorry. She said that she loved me, but it often felt like hate. When I finally had enough and tried to be free, she looked at me with desperation and cried, "You are abandoning me!" so, I stayed and I suffered, and I did my best to love her, as a woman, I have so much empathy for my mother, but as a daughter, I have so much rage" Rose Brik 27

PS. I purchased my book on Amazon but you can purchase from the author also on tiktok/insta account @rosebrikpoet (more verses posted on those accounts:)

She had learned not to express her feelings about anything to anyone, including herself. To be self-expressive, vulnerable and questioning in her childhood would have put her at risk. Her security lay in considering other people’s feelings, never her own. She was trapped in the role forced on her as a child, unaware that she herself had the right to be taken care of, to be listened to, to be thought worthy of attention.

Went on a journey to Japan over the weekend from the comfort of my home with YouTuber, Chris Broad and the Spy x Family!

A real page turner. Every chapter is interesting, unique, bizarre and comedic in its own way! 😂

Looking forward to resuming the journey this weekend as I’m drowned with work for the week! 😫

Okay so I am currently re-reading A Little Life and now at Chapter 4 The Axiom Of Equality the part where Jude first met Caleb. I am now wavering between skipping to the chit-chat, straight to that part and not skipping at all. The point of this re-read (right after I first finished the book) is because I cannot get over it therefore this is some sort of therapy and also I want to "investigate" like why did it happen and was there any clue/minor details that I overlooked.

Fire & Blood: Rhaenyra x Daemon

In order to make our waiting for episode 4 less painful. 

This extract comes directly from the book (p. 367) and I don’t see why we cannot believe in it. 

“Princess Rhaenyra was a different matter. Daemon spent long hours in her company, enthralling her with tales of his journeys and battles. He gave her pearls and silks and books and a jade tiara said once to have belonged to the Empress of Leng, read poems to her, dined with her, hawked with her, sailed with her, entertained her by making mock of the greens at court, the “lickspittles” fawning over Queen Alicent and her children. He praised her beauty, declaring her to be the fairest maid in all the Seven Kingdoms. Uncle and niece began to fly together almost daily, racing Syrax against Caraxes to Dragonstone and back.”

We need to see this jade tiara at least.
