— And I am disheartened; my past's confused piled up memories, no way to disentangle them, irritated; some day, to the tangibility of my head's burdens I will entrust my body, I will entrust my heart.

In addition to the Magical Angel Creamy Mami (魔法の天使クリィミーマミ) content, the Studio Pierrot anniversary mook I mentioned last week also has images from the following four magical girl series from that company -- Magical Fairy Persia (魔法の妖精 ペルシャ), Magic Star Magical Emi (魔法のスターマジカルエミ), and Magical Stage Fancy Lala (魔法のステージ・ファンシーララ), the last of which is actually from the Heisei era but the rest are Showa.

Japanese Period Timeline Infographics 

Did a simple timeline. It’s hard to summarise each period with just a few words. Hope you like it! 🤓

Pop Culture Trivias:

Ghost of Tsushima is based on the Mongol Invasion of Japan which took place in Kamakura Period where the descendant of Hojo Masako (wife of Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first Shogun of Japan), Hojo Tokimune led the defense.

47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves, is based on the actual event of 47 loyal Ronin taking up arms to avenge their lord, that took place in Edo Period under the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate. 

The Last Samurai starring Tom Cruise, is based on the Satsuma Rebellion that took place in Meiji Period where Saigo Takamori (Ken Watanbe’s character is based on) led the last Samurai war against the modernised Imperials.

Rurouni Kenshin takes place during Meiji Period where he served the Imperial while his “rival”, Saito Hajime served the Shogunate before he became an Imperial Officer, which is why Saito “dislike” Kenshin in the beginning.
