While she was still alive, I did not think Hinako was more precious than the other children. But now that she's gone, she looks the best, and now I feel I don't need the remaining 6 children

On this day, 28 February 1972, the trial of prominent Black communist Angela Davis for murder, kidnapping and conspiracy began in San Jose, California. The trial resulted from a courtroom shootout in 1970 in which four people were killed. Davis had purchased some of the firearms used in the incident, which resulted in the deaths of Black Panthers Jonathan Jackson, William Christmas and James McClain, as well as judge Harold Haley. Davis was not present at the scene, and she declared herself innocent of all charges. By the time the trial had begun, nearly 300 groups had sprung up around the world supporting her and working for her freedom, and John Lennon and Yoko Ono contributed the song "Angela" to the campaign. Angela Davis had a team of experienced lawyers, but she delivered her opening defence address herself. The defence demolished the prosecution's case, and eventually on 4 June, the all-white jury came back with not-guilty verdicts on all charges. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.1819457841572691/2220599788125159/?type=3

PL M3/7 Copyright © 1981 by The Hokuseido Press, Japan. YOKO M ATSU O K A McCLAIN University of Oregon It may not be the happiest song, but I really, really like it a lot.HANDBOOK OF MODERN JAPANESE GRAMMAR including Lists of Words and Expressions with English Equivalents for Reading Aid Thanks for the song / the lyrics, I owe you one! I’m really glad I found out about this song and could post it on foregroundnoises, I really don’t know what else I can say. Those alone made me love this song more than I thought I could. My god, those high notes are unbelievable. I like its genre and its techno vibes, but what I like the most are the vocals. This song is featured in a EP from the band Edel Link, and this post is actually the first part of the requested EP, so I’ll make another post not too soon but not too late. I fell in love so much with this song that even if no one would have requested it I would have posted anyways.Īlso, thanks to Eiki for finding its lyrics for me, I really appreciate it　(I couldn’t find them myself, I guess I’m just blind or whatever). I didn’t know this song before the requested made me know about it, and I’m really glad I got to listen to it. – English sections have some errors, those aren’t typos I’ve made. – I’ve choosed the “don’t ya” and such because in japanese it says “ja nee” and such, which are part of the spoken / extremely informal japanese. Tanin no egaita chizu ja tadori tsukenai kara! If you have regrets, just head straight up ahead! You won’t get anywhere with someone else’s drawn map!

#SORE WA TOTEMO BAKAGETE IRU FULL#

You just have to dash forward at full speed Tanin no egaita chizu ja tadori tsukenai no yo! So if ya were born to live, there’s nothing you can’t do but living shamelessly, right? Tanin no egaita chizu ni tayotte nja nee!Īnd don’t ya dare rely on someone else’s drawn map!ĭoose umarete kita nara zuuzuushiku ikiru shika nai deshoĭo you manage to find the resolution to live? You already know that you can’t do anything about this feeling of being buried, right? Uzukumatteita tte dou shiyou mo nai no shitteru desho

(also free pantyshot because I couldn’t find a better fitting picture) So thanks again as I said on the previous post, and I hope you’ll enjoy this one too! I like both their music style / lyrics, so I’m really glad I could find out about them. I wish this band will release more EPs / CDs in the future, I’m definetely willing to listening / translating more by them. Giving the lyrics’ content, I’m guessing it’s about the mythical salamander, a creature capable of living through flames without dying. The thing that caught the most my attention about this song is its title, literally “Salamander”. Second part of the アオイロ EP requested by the same user, this post is strictly linked to the previous one, so I suggest you to read it too (mostly because I like the first post a lot). – This is an original song performed by Further Ahead of Warp‘s scream vocalist, 縫糸. It was a lie, an escape route – it made me smile Senritsu wa tsudzuku tsudzuku yoake no sora hibiite We still remember everything about that time, and yet we…. Kumo no mokou yonderu reeru no ue makuragi to koishiīokutachi wa mada ano toki no koto o oboeteite soredemo The scenery I’ve created by holding aloft my hand over my right eye and mouth Oshi tsubusu migime to sono kuchi to te o kageshite tsukuri dashita fuukei So I’ll sweep the smut away inside this smoke and wait for the morning to come Susu o harai kemuri no naka nigeru you ni asa o matteįrom the depths of my mind, with these rusted strings…Īs I still feel weakened, I’ll stir everything up –Īnd even if I know it’s something which ended, I feel like running away from it, Over these railtracks between railroad ties and pebble, something’s calling me from beyond the cloudsĪ melody is still playing stronger and stronger, echoing in the daybreak-dyed sky The scenery I’ve created by opening my eyes, concealed by both my hands Senritsu wa tsudzuku tsuyoku tsuyoku yoake no sora hibiite Kumo no mukou yonderu reeru no ue makuragi to koishi Ooi kakusu migite to hidarite to me o hiraite tsukuri dashita fuukei

Hyperallergic: From Ceramic Sea Creatures to Bauhaus Blocks, a Compendium of Exquisite Chess Sets

Chinese Rat set (early 18th century) (all photos by Kevin Dutton, from Master Works, Rare and Beautiful Chess Sets of the World, published by FUEL in association with World Chess by Agon Ltd)

In 1944, Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst organized the group exhibition Imagery of Chess at Julien Levy Gallery, which featured paintings and sculptures of new designs of chess pieces. Thirty-two artists including Man Ray, Dorothea Tanning, and Isamu Noguchi contributed their visions of the board game. The Surrealists, of course, were far from the first to focus on the design of chess, although their artworks may have been among the first conceptual interpretations of the age-old activity.

Cover of Master Works, Rare and Beautiful Chess Sets of the World, published by FUEL in association with World Chess by Agon Ltd

The chess board as a form of sculpture is explored in Masterworks: Rare and Beautiful Chess Sets of the World, a book recently published by FUEL that surveys dozens upon dozens of sets created over centuries from countries around the world. As Dylan Loeb McClain, a former New York Times chess columnist, writes in an introduction, the Staunton design, named for the 19th-century chess master Howard Staunton, is likely the most familiar to many of us, ubiquitous and representing the “de facto standard” used in the World Chess Federation. Masterworks highlights a selection of extraordinary examples, from one-of-a-kind sets made for royalty like Catherine the Great to a rare, circa-1900 game from Japan that features pieces shaped like birds — so accurate you can apparently identify each one with a birdwatching guide. As McClain sums it up, “The game is universal, but how it is adopted and adapted is not.”

Featuring a pictorial survey of sets each accompanied by short essays on their histories by a number of chess experts, the tome is over 200 pages of gleaming chess porn but also lends insight on how artists have played with the game’s visual language over time. Many were made simply to showcase skill; others, to commemorate historic events such as the Battle of Waterloo. Some are also impressive feats of engineering, like the first set made to be played in space by cosmonauts on the Soyuz 9 mission, which had pieces affixed to the board.

Japanese Bird set (ca 1900)

Meissen Sea Life chess set and board (1930s)

Many of the sets included in Masterworks are by nameless artisans, including craftsmen of the East India Company and those of the House of Fabergé — which produced just two chess sets ever: one of Siberian jade and pale apricot serpentine, and another of silver and silver gilt. A number, though, are attributed to their creators, indicating a turn away from individuals working within established styles toward the 20th century. There’s an exquisite set designed by the sculptor Max Esser, who transformed pearly Meissen porcelain into tiny sculptures of sea life, all set on a board that resembles the white foam of ocean waves. Also elegant are the delicate pieces by mid-19th-century German designers Michael and Anton Edel, who conceived of multiple chess sets with kings and queens on tall pedestals that resemble multi-tiered cakes. A section on 20th century chess sets highlights boards by Ernst, bare-boned but sleek; by Man Ray, who experimented with wood, aluminum, bronze, silver, and ivory to create abstract pieces; and by Josef Hartwig, whose pieces for his now-famous “Bauhaus Chess Set” were carved in forms that cleverly indicate their permitted movements across the checkered arena. Some of the most captivating of boards arrive from the Japanese Fluxus artist Takako Saito, who has made over 100 designs that turn the game into a multi-sensory experience. Various sets of hers feature pieces that vary in scent, in weight, and even in sound — emitted when a player lifts one.

Masterworks, though unintended as an exhaustive catalogue of chess design, presents a diverse selection of chess board examples; but its focus is limited, unfortunately, to the visions of men, with Saito’s sets being the sole examples by a modern female artist. Many other women have designed boards, as showcased in Ladies’ Knight: A Female Perspective on Chess, a 2015 exhibition at St. Louis’s World Chess Hall of Fame. On view were designs including Yoko Ono‘s famous white board; a dollhouse-inspired set by Rachel Whiteread; and a characteristically red, black, and white one by Barbara Kruger. These, too, are beautiful and rare, and significantly, checkmate any notion of chess as a man’s game.
