A tengu mask in Japanese culture symbolizes protection, wisdom, and a connection to mountain spirits, but also the duality of good and evil, arrogance and cunning. It is used in rituals, dances, and theaters such as Noh and Kabuki to represent the multifaceted nature of the mythological creature, the tengu, which is half human, half bird and often possesses a long red nose and wings.

Recorrer el camino de los mil toriis (senbon torii) era uno de los motivos de mi viaje. Pero recorrerlo a media noche fue una mezcla de misticismo y temor que infundían las mil sombras que se movían el el exterior del camino y la incertidumbre de poder salir alguna vez del laberinto.
Ya fuese fantasía o realidad, no me cabe la menor duda de que este lugar tiene una energía muy especial.
Sirince as a former Greek village. In the 19th century, the famous fig production, was one Greek town. Population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923 with the departure of the results of the Greeks, were settled by emigrants from Kavalav to Somokol village. The famous wine-producing village. Say hi to me to Anatolia.

Say hi to me to Anatolia.
He describes the lands where he was born and grew up with the words "If there is a place called paradise on this earth, our Kirkinca (Sirince) must be a part of that paradise".
An artistic Andorian escaping her homeworld's militaristic culture, hopped a freighter to Earth. There she took to skateboards like duck to water. She loves zooming around cool places but you might also find her creating increasingly complex three-dimensional art.
She once commented to an interviewer that if you're not falling, you're doing something wrong because everyone falls when they are experimenting, doing something new and pushing boundaries. She is known for her famous quote: "Falling is a great excuse to get up and skate again"

Koizumu Yagumo (小泉八雲) is a pseudonym of Patric Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) who was born in Lafcada island, Greece to an Irish father and a greek mother. He emigrated to the USA and worked as journalist. He came to Japan as correspondent, visited Matsue, had a Japanese wife from a Samurai family in Matsue, and lived in this Samurai house. Koizumi is the family name of his wife. Yagumo means Izumo province.
He cancelled the correspondent contract, worked as writer and English lecturer, naturalised to Japan and died in Tokyo.
He was a pioneer Japanologist who developed a deep understanding of Japanese cultures. His best known work is "Kwaidan (怪談 spooky stories)" which is a collection of Japanese folk tales on ghosts and spectres.
His former residence is now converted to a museum for his achievements.
You probably have come across this term. Wikipedia would give you a variety of definitions and explanations. From the perspective of the UK and, important to clarify, from my own point of view, I would say that what is being talked about is a struggle for power over public opinion and the control of the media. Political interest groups use "hot-button" issues (racism, gender roles, Brexit, immigration, the interpretation of colonial history etc.) as a technique to polarise society and distinguish between "us" and "them". This is not a debate in the interest of truth. It is all about bullying and pushing certain agendas through. In other words, culture wars have intentional consequences. When a public TV channel with critical news reporting is being "privatised" or when the public BBC is threatened with a redrafting of its charter, you know that very likely culture wars are involved.
