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]
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.
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.

Almost 4.5 years, but well worth it. She has to wear the retainer full time for 6 months, then just to bed for the rest of her life. And she better - that is an expensive smile. Or, priceless, as the case may be. ;-)

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.
This was my first effort as brazing studs. Since then I've been using an Anvil jig for the job. Sales of Studs & D-rings covered the cost of the jig.
Continuing my year-long quest to photgraph this ancient Beech tree at Shireoaks park in Nottinghamshire on the first day of every month. It is just coming into leaf bud. The weather was very changeable today and I walked down late morning in beautiful sunshine and walked back in wind and rain.

This is a famous ghost well that is called OKIKU Well.
Okiku is a name of a beautiful young woman who was a servant for the
retainer of the lord, the Aoyama family. One day she overheard
Aoyama's plot to murder the lord and assume the lordship. Okiku
repeated what she heard to her lover, who was a loyal warrior. As a
result, the plot failed.
Later when Aoyama found out that it was Okiku who interfered with his
plans, he became very angry and ordered Okiku's death. To make her
murder seem more plausible, the retainer had one of ten treasured dishes
stolen and blamed Okiku. She was tortured to death on account of the
missing dish, and she was thrown into the well. It is said that her sobs can
be heard coming from the bottom of the well since that day. She counts
the treasured dishes, "One, two, . . ."

お菊井戸順路の中程に不気味な伝説を持つ井戸があります。１４００年代、お菊と言う若い女性が住んでいました。彼女は城主小寺則職のりもとに仕える武士の妾でした。お菊の恋人は、小寺の家臣青山鉄山が主家乗っ取りを企てているのではと疑いました。そこで彼は青山の計略を探るために、お菊を女中として青山の下に送り込みました。お菊は計略を突き止めるとすぐに恋人に警告しました。残念ながら、お菊の警告は間に合わず青山は乗っ取りに成功し、密告者であるとしてお菊に報復しました。彼は家宝の１０枚の皿のうち１枚を隠し、それをお菊が失くしたと言いがかりをつけました。そしてお菊を殺した後その死体をこの井戸に捨てました。それから毎晩、お菊がお皿を数える声が聞こえたそうです。しばらくして、お菊は姫路に祀られ、それ以降は彼女の声は聞こえなくなったということです。これは姫路城でも最も有名な伝説の一つです。ところで青山鉄山が姫路城を乗っ取った時、お菊の警告は城主小寺に脱出の時間を与えました。彼は家島という島に逃げ、後に城は彼の元に返りました。そして青山は処刑されました
