gurdymonkeyCheesecake is DONE.
Lanterns are DONE. Cutting fiberglass "shoji paper" works best when done with gloves, even if they're the cheap hardware store plastic ones. I am splinterless and I have four bitchin' kaga chochin to show for it.
To do tomorrow:
Apply purple goo to hair.
Finish lid to sugoroku box. (I got two whole lines drawn, messed up the third and realized that my eyes are tired and I just don't have enough light up here after dark for work that nitpicky. I can do that in the morning. The gold paint dries pretty fast. I'd like to get some polyurethane on it too, but if the weather's bad tomorrow, I may have to wait until Sunday morning.)
Get class notes written up for the thing on contact between Japan and the West in the 16th c. The handout may end up being a timeline, bibliography and some relevant pictures and maps. I'm feeling ill prepared and kinda hoping nobody shows because the more I keep reading, the more I keep finding.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
allison_is , this is all your fault, girlfriend. At least it's not until Saturday of war, so I can take some time to review what I have. Found some great images of the 1582 Japanese mission to visit the Pope online but can't find out what manuscript THIS one is from yet. (The text appears to me to be German.) More research is needed and I haven't had time to do as much as I would like. Maybe I'll get really lucky and nobody'll show up to class.
Pick up Sterno (K-mart) and small koinobori (Daiso) en route to party tomorrow night. Koinobori will make spiffier tent rope flags than the rags hanging off of them currently.
Optional: Personal banner with the kanji for "honor, harmony, knowledge." I have black paint. I have muslin. More importantly, I have pictures of the necessary kanji.
Optional: cut linen for a kosode. I can take this to Estrella and have some hand work to do during hang-out-in-camp time if I am so motivated.
To do Sunday:
Laundry!
Finish anything that didn't get done Saturday.
Estrella packing. Ideally, I'd like to have as much loaded as possible by Sunday evening.
To do Monday:
Grocery run.

re: "great images of the 1582 Japanese mission to visit the Pope"
Date: 2010-02-06 10:35 am (UTC)-- which is referring to the cover print on Michael Cooper's book, The Japanese Mission to Europe, 1582-1590: The Journey of Four Samurai Boys Through Portugal, Spain and Italy - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Japanese-Mission-Europe-1582-1590-Portugal/dp/1901903389
-- and it is listed at www.imagesources.org also known as www.artres.com as "Portrait of Four Royal Japanese Emissaries and a Jesuit priest, who visited Milan between July 25 to August 3, 1586. Newspaper, printed by Michael Manger in Augsburg, 1586. / Location :Private Collection, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan / Photo Credit : Art Resource, NY / Image Reference : ART71264" -- if you register at Art Resource, the search that brought this result was for "Michael Manger".
Sorry to be long-winded, but that image was what I printed and kept on my person when I became tired of people saying (a) the West went to Japan, but did Japan come to the West? (b) Were they presented at court? and (c) were their names recorded in popular Euro-record? -- their position being that such things could never be. (Read 'em and weep, boys.) I hope it is useful to you.
WOOT! More homework!
