One day on our way home Fritz decided not to walk along the road anymore. Since this day he is always walking on top of that wall. Sometimes people stop with their cars, wave at us or take pictures.
Well, his second name is "Famous Fritz"
This is a drawing of two separate images of my mouth one image the top and one the bottom and i just joined the two to make a super mouth. My permanent retainer is messed u so my teeth have been slowly separating I found inspiration in my frustration.
Trouble at a Tavern
Trafferth mewn Tafarn
A fine township! I rode in
With squire in tow, and the din
Of diners, entertainers
Jongleurs, knights and retainers
Took my fancy. Why, I think
I stopped, tarried for a drink,
Saw a slim nymph of a girl
At the inn where I regaled
Myself. She was primed to stun
Me: her face a glowering sun.
I lifted my horn to toast,
Bought her booze and a lamb roast,
Called her to my bench, and thought
She looked up for any sport
That I proposed. My dinner
Went cold, for love was in her.
She agreed that we would creep,
Meet when all were fast asleep.
When the air was thick with snores
I crawled from bed on all fours
To find her, proud of my stealth.
It puts strain upon my health
To tell what happened next. Fool!
I got entangled in a stool,
Tripped, spread-eagled, dupe of fate
Flailed about, bashed my pate
On a table, shaved the skin
In a thin layer from my shin:
All of that, no great matter
Had not the stool made clatter
Fit to wake the whole of Wales:
Ah! The sorriest of tales!
Louder than the Brecon bell,
A cacophony from hell
Broke out then: and when my head
Connected with the table, dread
Seized me – I’ll never flatter
A girl again – a brass platter
Crashed to ground, and sad to tell,
The table overturned as well.
To this day, I cringe, tremble,
And hear the platter, like a cymbal
Strike the stones. It resounds,
Waking men, and girls, and hounds.
Near to where I fell, lay two
Stinky English tinkers, who
(Named Hickyn: Jenkyn and Jack)
Feared that I might steal their packs.
Through lips that reeked of stale beer,
One cried out with toothless leer:
“On guard, men! Try to clobber
With your clubs this sly robber!
The daft Taff! He has a mind
To make this din and rob us blind!”
And the ostler, to my cost,
Shouted, aroused the whole host.
Everybody groped around
To catch me. I made no sound,
But cowered in darkness, cursed
My clumsy limbs, prayed, crossed
Myself, relived my error
Time and again, and terror
Gripped me. I called upon Mair:
The situation was dire
Enough. She answered. I crept
Back to my bed, claimed I slept
Through all. I repent! Will God
Have mercy on such a clod?
Poem by Dafydd ap Gwilym, paraphrased by Giles Watson, 2011. There are actually three English tinkers in the original text, but given the low lighting and his state of inebriation, it is the sort of detail which Dafydd might have got wrong, and Hickyn might serve just as well as a surname. Dafydd does not intend to suggest that these are their real names; rather they are the sorts of names a Welshman might expect stereotypical Englishmen to have.
The picture was taken some years ago by my great uncle, Alexander Watson. It shows a misericord from Fairford Church, Gloucestershire. Since the photograph was taken, this carving has been stolen from the church. This is the only photograph of it that I have seen.

This is the companion to the last picture showing almost all of the retainer basin.
Somewhere between this and the other picture, I lost the lens cap to my Fuji. I realized this when I came home. I searched around my house for a suitable replacement and the top of a Walmart prescription bottle fits perfectly. Who woulda thunk it?
Cyan Garamonde was once a proud retainer (samurai) of Doma but was the sole survivor of a war crime that claimed the lives of all his friends, family, and people. He's stern on the outside, but a sad man of deep feelings and consummate manners.

medievalpoc: Claude Duret Hasekura Tsunenaga Italy (1615) Hasekura was a Samurai and retainer of Date Masamune, the daimyo of Sendai. In the years 1613 through 1620, Hasekura headed a diplomatic mission to the Vatican in Rome, traveling to Mexico (arriving in Acapulco and departing from Veracruz) and visiting various ports-of-call in Europe. This historic mission is called the Keichō Embassy (慶長使節), and follows the Tenshō embassy (天正使節) of 1582. On the return trip, Hasekura and his companions re-traced their route across Mexico in 1619, sailing from Acapulco for Manila, and then sailing north to Japan in 1620. Hasekura’s journey is astounding in its scope. He was accompanied by 180 people, one of whom was the European Fransician monk Luis Sotelo. Hasekura and Sotelo are pictured here in a rather sensual fresco in the Sala Regia, Palazzo Quirinale, Rome. Hasekura received new names: in France, he was dubbed Dom Philippe Francois Faxicura, In Spain he was baptized Felipe Francisco Hasekura. Unfortunately, his travels did not lead to establishment of new trading partners but did establish Spain as a threat, and their conversion to Christianity had apparently become an issue due to an interdiction in Sendai. His son and several of his servants were actually put to death due to their refusal to recant their faith. Hasekura’s trip was expunged after his return, and it was not noted in the official histories of the Edo period. It was not made public until 250 years later in 1909. [x] [x] [x]
To the right of the Main Haiden at Kamakuragu we can find a Sub-Jinja called Murakamisha, dedicated to Prince Morinaga's most faithful retainer, Murakami Hikoshiro Yoshiteru. This is a view of the front and back of a statue of him carved from a single piece of Japanese Zelkova completed in 2004 by the Japanese Artist Iwata Minoru.
In A History of the Japanese People From the Earliest Times to the End of the Meiji Era, by Frank Brinkley and Dairoku Kikuchi we read a very tame description of Murakami's actions:
"At the close of February, 1333, a numerous force under the Hojo banners attacked Yoshino and its fall became inevitable. Prince Morinaga, wounded in several places, had resolved to make the castle his "death-pillow," when he was saved by one of those acts of heroic devotion so frequently recorded in the annals of the Japanese bushi. Murakami Yoshiteru insisted on donning the prince's armour and personating him so as to cover his retreat. At the supreme moment, Yoshiteru ascended the tower of the entrenchments and loudly proclaiming himself the prince, committed suicide."
But in Ancient Tales and Folklore of Japan, by Richard Gordon Smith we can discover in even more detail:
"...the party reached Yoshino, and in the vicinity of this place they built a fortress, where for some months they dwelt in peace. It was not long, however, before the Regent heard of the prince's whereabouts, and he soon sent a small army after him. For two days the fort was desperately attacked; on the third the outer gates were taken; two-thirds of the prince's men were dead. Murakam, had been wounded three times, and his life could not last long. Faithful to the end, he rushed to his prince, saying, 'Master, I am wounded unto death. In less than half-an-hour our enemies will have conquered us, for we have but few men left. Your Highness is unwounded, and can in disguise escape when the end comes. Give me quick your armour, and let me pretend that I am your Highness. I will show our enemies how a prince can die.'
Changing clothes hastily, and donning the prince's armour, Murakami, bleeding badly from his wounds, and already more dead than alive with weakness from the loss of blood, regained the wall, and struggling up the last steps he reached a point where he could see and be seen by the whole of the enemy.
'I am Prince Morinaga!' shouted he. 'Fate is against me, though I am in the right. Sooner or later Heaven's punishment will come down on you. Until then my curses upon you, and take a lesson as to how a prince can die, emulating it, if you dare, when your time comes!'
With this Murakami Yoshiteru drew his short sword across his abdomen, and, seizing his quivering entrails, he flung them into the midst of this enemies, his dead body falling directly afterwards.
His head was taken to the Regent in Kioto as the head of Prince Morinaga, who escaped to plot in the future."
It is hoped that by praying at Murakamisha, Murakami will "trade places" with the person who is praying when times get tough or s/he gets into trouble.

And I accidentally left it at Eileen's house a couple of nights ago. So she and her husband Dave hopped in the car and drove it up to me today in Winona.

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.
We brought some sweet pineapple juice, cooking oil and sugar as gifts to show our appreciation of the Chief. We did not give them directly to the Chief, but to his Retainer who then handed them over to another underling.
The Katō family served as chief retainers to the lord of Kameyama castle. Their large samurai home, which dates back to the late Edo Period, is well preserved and worth a visit if you are in the area of Kameyama in Mie Prefecture.
Kameyama in Mie Prefecture was the 46th stop along the old Tōkaidō road and was also the seat of a feudal domain and castle town.
The original Kameyama Castle was built in 1254 by Seki Sanetada. However, in 1590, it was rebuilt by Okamoto Munenori in a location near the site of the original castle. The Kameyama Castle was built in 1590 by Okamoto Munenori.
The castle keep was accidentally destroyed in 1632 when orders were issued by the Shogunate that the keep of Kameyama Castle in Tamba Province be rebuilt. The lord of Kameyama Castle in Mie at the time, Miyake Yasumori obliged. When the mistake was realized, it was too late and the Shogunate never gave approval for the main keep to be rebuilt. Not long after this little episode, Honda Toshitsugu became lord of the Kameyama fief and he built a tamon-style turret on the base where the castle’s main keep once stood. In 1953 the castle’s tamon yagura was designated as a historic site by the Mie prefectural government in 1953.
A word to the prospective Mie Kameyama Castle visitor—unless you *really* need or want to see this castle, I’d skip it. Most of the views of the castle are obscured for at least 3 out of the 4 seasons and the Yagura is not open to visitors.
