Kishiwada Castle, located in Osaka, was built by Koide Hidemasa, a retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in 1582, near the site of where Kusunoki Masashige built a fort in the 1300s. In 1640, ownership of the castle was transferred to Okabe Norikatsu and the Okabe family maintained possession of the castle and the Kishiwada fief until the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
In 1827 lightning destroyed the castle’s main keep and much of the remaining part of the castle was destroyed during the fighting between the Tokugawa and Imperial forces during the civil strife associated with the Meiji Restoration. The current three-story ferroconcrete keep was built in 1954, but it has been confirmed that the original donjon was 5 stories. The moat and the outer stone walls are all that remain of the original castle. All other structures, including the gate, are reconstructions.
The renowned garden designer, Mirei Shigemori, constructed the Hachi Jin no Niwa rock garden in 1953 using chlorite schist from Okinoshima Island in Wakayama Prefecture and white sand from the Shirakawa River in Kyoto. He personally chose all the larger stones and arranged the garden based on the Chinese concept of the battle formation of the eight elements of heaven: earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds and snakes.
Another day ends for the 'Old Retainer'.
Retiring now to sleep.
Holding out in the chill of the night.
And In the darkness so deep.
Soon the Ghost owl will leave his hole.
And call out in the night.
Alone he hunts for rusling prey.
Unseen in the absense of light.
Oh, ancient beech and of all you keep.
Bring joy to my tired eyes.
Rest well in your vernal aura.
Soon another day will arise.

Oishi Kuranosuke was the chief retainer of the Asano clan during the turmoil associated with the 47 Ronin incident, in which the feudal lord, Asano Naganori, attacked and wounded Kira Yoshinaka within Edo Castle. As drawing a weapon within the shogun's castle was a capital offence, Asano was sentenced to commit seppuku the same day.
As a result of Asano's impulsive behavior, the Shogunate disbanded the Asano clan and seized their lands. Oishi and 46 other former Asano retainers waited and unleashed their misguided revenge on Kira, attacking his home in the dead of night in December 1703, killing his body guards as well as taking his head and placing it in front of Asano's tomb in Sengaku-ji Temple in Takanawa, Tokyo.
All the Akō ronin were sentenced to death by seppuku (harakiri). The loyalty that these guys showed to their foolish lord by committing what can only be described as what me and some of my friends referr to as a feudal "drive-by"- Japanese style, has been lauded by the Japanese public ever since. The facts behind the actual events have been buried in the countless puppet and kabuki plays as well as movies that have been made about this.
I'm not a terribly big fan of Asano Naganori, nor do I think the Akō ronin were particularly "brave" by carrying out a night attack after a party and fighting a small group of drunk bodyguards and taking the head of a feeble old man. But, this perspective is from modern, western eyes. In reality, night attacks of this nature have always been a staple of samurai warfare, being documented since the Heian period. As much as I don't partake in the 47 Ronin Kool Aid drinking parties, I do admit to enjoying watching a good fictional film or kabuki play about these guys.

Oishi was the chief retainer of Lord Asano and plotted the 2-year delayed revenge attack on Kira. Oishi is still revered today for his unfettered loyalty and feality to his liege lord.
This is where the 47 Ronin of Akō, along with their lord, Asano, are interred. Sengaku-ji is located in Tokyo, near Shinagawa Station.

I have to work tomorrow and since I got in trouble for having my lip pierced I was going to swap the ring out for the clear retainer tonight, but I can't get the post out! I can't loosen the ball AT ALL! It's stuck. I've been trying to get it lose for the past two hours. :( I really don't want to have to wear a bandaid over it. I put one on it tonight to see if the bandaid would actually stick to my face and it did, but it looked so stupid. Ugh.
I'm gonna keep trying to get it out.... but I need to give my face a break. I've been irritating the shit out of it.
Tomorrow we will be signing the lease for the new place!!!!! I'm so excited! :D
**********************EDIT:
So.... We got approved for the duplex, and I wrote the deposit check which our new landlord will be cashing soon. And I have to pay rent for May.... And guess what! Meadow Vista, the place we sent our applications to but we were told we wouldn't come in under the income limit, cashed my holding fee check and my application check.
You see.... I got a call from a nice lady, Wendy, shortly after mailing in my application and checks, and she said she was sure we wouldn't make the income limit and so WE BOTH decided not to go through with the application process, and she said she'd mail back my checks and Mark's.
Today I logged into my online bank account to see if our new landlord cashed our deposit check yet only to find that Meadow Vista sure as fuck cashed the checks I had sent to them!
OMG I'm so fucking pissed right now. I called both the numbers I could find for Meadow Vista and left not very pleasant messages on both voicemails. And when Wendy calls me back she sure as fuck is going to get an earful because it was her responsibility to make sure those checks got sent back and the applications destroyed. Usually, when someone screws me, I tend to be very pleasant and understanding with whomever I get to talk to because usually they are just the sorry messenger. I've worked in customer service. I know how much it sucks. But Wendy.... oh, her ass is mine.
If I don't get this shit straightened out before the 1st I am just screwed. Our landlord already has our deposit check for over 700. And I have to pay May's rent here, which is nearly 700 as well. I had plenty of money until Wendy fucked me. ARGH!!!!
(sorry for all the profanities. I'm not very happy right now.)
Three very small screws is what holds this on. It also has the retainer for the shutter cover lock ring.
First, the two retaining rings come out, followed by the aperture scale drive gear, and aperture scale ring gear.

Once front retainer is unscrewed - protective glass comes out followed by a spacer ring and the actual front element. Easy part.

Fit the spring retainer clips back into place. Usually one of the clips will not fit in correctly in which case you should pull that clip with a neelde nose plier and wrap it around the clip that is fitting.
Also fit the rubber grommet back into place and test the headlight before sealing everything back up.

There it is, right under the housing like I thought. By the way, DO NOT try to unscrew the bronze screw at one o'clock. It holds a spring and lever for the speed escapement, and it is not neccessary, nor recommended to remove it. After taking out the two chromed screws, the plate just lifts off.
