gurdymonkeyI was watching a preview of the new Ken Burns series on the National Parks (premiers on PBS this fall) and they excerpted a quote by a painter named Chiura Obata with one of his paintings. With the wonder of Google, I immediately began searching for more:

Enjoy!

Whether she realizes that some of the stuff on her wish list already exists in some form or other on the internet, courtesy of various SCA contributors (including myself). A good 80% of it is already on Sengokudaimyo.com already.
How many articles she plans to research and write, since the rest of us are obviously slacking.
Is it a bad idea? Not necessarily, however, it will require a lot more work than I think she realizes. And there's that bit where some of it does already exist if one bothers to go and look for it.

Going down on one knee in court to swear fealty in a kosode...might be helpful, but that's about all I can think of.
