The Gold and Silver Expenditure and Receipt Book (金銀出入帳)

The "Gold and Silver Expenditure and Receipt Book" is a record of the Shinsengumi’s receipts and disbursements, covering the period from the 14th day of the 11th month, Keio 3 (1867) to the 1st day of the 3rd month, Keio 4 (1868). It is approximately ten pages in length and is written in a unique ink script. This record is thought to have been written down by Shinsengumi accountants, and is one of the most valuable official documents of the Shinsengumi for understanding their exact activities and financial situation.

A portion of this document was once published in "Shinsengumi Shimatsuki" (written by Shimozawa Kan in 1928). Until around 1937, it was in the possession of Kondo Isami’s relative, Miyagawa Takashi, who lived in Kamiishihara, Chofu, Tokyo. It’s now kept at Ryugenji Temple (6-chome, Osawa, Mitaka, Tokyo), the site of Kondo Isami’s tomb, along with many other related documents once owned by the Miyagawa family.

The first part of this document is marked with "Start". It then describes the movement of money within the accounting division, and the four people whose names appear in the document, Yasutomi Saisuke, Kishijima Yoshitaro, Otani Isao, and Nakamura Gendo are of course Shinsengumi accountants.

The accountants were usually in charge of bookkeeping, but in times of war, such as the Battle of Toba-Fushimi, they were also assigned to the the logistics division (konida). Yasutomi and Kishijima worked as investigators (諸士調役) (also called "metsuke"), while Otani and Nakamura were treated as the same level as corporals. Some records refer to Otani as an accountant and Nakamura as an equivalent of an accountant.

Out of all the historical texts in 新選組史料集, the Shinsengumi’s account book seemed the most interesting to me, and I kept seeing quotes from it in the articles I’ve read.

It took a while to make sense of the archaic terms and Edo period accounting notation, but I think I’ve mostly figured it out. Here’s my translation: [link], and below are my translation notes and the full original text.

Milano: Tortona Design Week torna tra i protagonisti del Fuorisalone 2023 con “Future to Share”

Milano: Tortona Design Week torna tra i protagonisti del Fuorisalone 2023 con “Future to Share”. Con una veste inedita e una proposta di comunicazione mirata a riunire e raccontare le realtà della zona di Tortona, Tortona Design Week, per la prima volta in collaborazione con l’agenzia di comunicazione integrata Double Malt, presenta per l’edizione 2023, Future to Share: un progetto ambizioso per farsi insieme pionieri di un futuro da scrivere nell’ottica della condivisione e dell’inclusività. La tecnologia, l’innovazione e la circolarità rappresentano oggi i capisaldi su cui riprogrammare la quotidianità e costruire un domani in grado di valorizzare l’autoproduzione e la manifattura urbana sostenibile. Protagonisti di quest’anno: TCL, Nardi, GAC Europe, Hainan Lizu, Delta Light, Decor Lab, Lechler, nhow Milano, Festool, Lexus, Zip Zone Events, YOOX, Keio SDM, Freehand Furniture Co, Officina 14, ADF- GARDE, Noroo, Swatchbox, UMPRUM (The Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague), Institute for Material Design IMD assieme a Mazda Motor Corporation, e IAB Italia. Ad animare l’intera zona e farne una tappa di riferimento per il numeroso pubblico atteso, ci sarà come sempre un ricco programma di installazioni, mostre, eventi, talk e incontri, mirati a rendere l’audience uno spettatore competente e critico nei confronti del presente. Con l’ambizione di creare nuovi valori, coinvolgere ed educare, Future to Share è apprendimento e costruzione del cambiamento. TDW Hub: Una novità di questa edizione sarà il TDW Hub, un open space dedicato alla creatività e all’innovazione, situato in via Tortona 12. Un punto di raccolta e interazione in cui più aziende si troveranno a coabitare e dialogare tra loro per offrire al visitatore un’esperienza di come il design faccia parte, con forme diverse e talvolta inaspettate, delle nostre vite. TCL Green Horizon: In linea con la firma del suo marchio "Inspire Greatness", TCL introduce ELEMENTS – TCL Green Horizon: un viaggio immersivo alla scoperta dei quattro elementi della natura, una mostra che ricorderà ai visitatori come la natura sia sempre stata e sia tuttora la più importante fonte di ispirazione, creatività e innovazione. Attraverso opere d'arte sostenibili, esperienze interattive e prodotti innovativi, i visitatori potranno immaginare un orizzonte, un futuro prossimo, in cui natura e tecnologia convivono armoniosamente. Limonaia (Nardi): Tra i protagonisti della manifestazione, Nardi presenta in via Tortona 30 Limonaia, un allestimento che interpreta un’idea di vita all’aria aperta con la leggerezza, i colori e i profumi di una terrazza mediterranea. La poltrona Net Lounge, dal caratteristico profilo a onda, arreda un’area in cui tra video ed effetti speciali, il visitatore avrà la sensazione di fluttuare nell’aria. Lo spazio ospiterà due talk moderati dalla giornalista e autrice Antonella Galli: mercoledì 19 aprile alle ore 19, “La stanza in più: progettare terrazzi e giardini” con l’architetto e noto personaggio televisivo Diego Thomas; venerdì 21 aprile alle ore 19, “Benessere e natura nel giardino contemporaneo” con il paesaggista, Antonio Perazzi, e il medico e docente di fitoterapia, Stefania Piloni. GAC Car Culture Series: GAC, giovane studio di design automobilistico, espone per la prima volta “Car Culture #2 – The Van life”, secondo progetto della "GAC Car Culture Series”. Grazie a un abitacolo versatile e tecnologie che consentono di raggiungere luoghi remoti senza emettere particelle nell'atmosfera, il nuovo mezzo permette di muoversi con facilità e silenziosamente, circondati dalla bellezza. momentUM (Delta Light): Per l’occasione, Delta Light lancia invece la sua nuova collezione, presentandola con la pubblicazione del catalogo The Lighting Bible 15. Dal 17 aprile i nuovi prodotti della multinazionale belga saranno al centro di momentUM, un’evocativa installazione che animerà il Delta Light Studio di via Gaspare Bugatti. Ottiche di precisione d’avanguardia, innovazioni di colori e di design insieme a eleganti espressioni decorative saranno le novità di sistemi di illuminazione lineare, ma anche di soluzioni per l’outdoor. WunderDecor (laboratorio della decorazione Decor Lab): Decor Lab, il laboratorio della decorazione di interni di via Tortona 37, torna con WunderDecor, un’esposizione rinnovata e nuove idee di decorazione, capaci di creare ambienti personali, immaginifici e innovativi. Insieme alle loro 20 aziende partner propongono un ventaglio di soluzioni coordinate e personalizzabili per liberare al massimo la creatività, ospitando eventi, mostre d'arte e presentazioni delle nuove collezioni. The Way of Relations (Lechler): Color Design® Lechler, specializzata nella produzione di vernici, presenta “The Way of Relations”, la nuova proposta dedicata agli spazi di relazione, di transizione, di riflessione, luoghi che rispondono al nuovo concetto di abitare la casa. Si recupera e rilancia la relazione in ogni sua forma, facilitando - con il colore, i materiali e le finiture - le armonie tra esterno ed interno, tra spazi reali e quelli virtuali, tra passato e futuro. L’hub 35 (nhow Milano): Da ex fabbrica riconvertita a hotel, nhow Milano apre le porte a L’hub 35, il grande evento che trasformerà i camaleontici spazi della struttura in veri e propri laboratori d’innovazione e creatività, riunendo i lavori di importanti brand internazionali che, come nhow, in una spaccatura nel muro non vedono qualcosa di rotto, ma un’apertura verso un nuovo mondo. Giovedì 20 aprile si festeggerà insieme con il party “L’hub of sound 35 ”.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Kismet (Chapter 16): A BTS Jin imagines fanfic

First ever fanfic. Contains fluff and smut. Please read sequentially as it is a long story arc. Please provide feedback! My IG is btskismet.

November 4, 1944

He arrived at Ichihara with nothing but a duffel bag filled with a few clothes and some food. He was not expecting to be on the road for so long after the ship ride from Gyeongseong* to Tokyo. He knew that volunteering to be part of the Army was stupid but if it would help earn money for his family, he would do it. He also knew that he had the know-how to go up the ranks. His father, being a local official in Gyeongseong in the past, knew that if his youngest son learned Japanese, he would go far. Being in a country that has been under Japanese rule since 1910, his father had good foresight to get his son to learn Nihonggo well.

His mother tried to stop him from leaving and she cried so much when he boarded the ship. “Omma, I’m doing this to make you proud of me. Where else can I earn good money?”, he thought to himself silently as he watched his mother and brother from the ship deck. His father passed the year before and he was hoping he was watching his son from the heavens and pleased with his decisions to take care of their family. He knew that his older brother Jun-ha would’ve done what he could but after the incident, his leg would not last if he went with him.

Kim Jun-seok hoped that he wouldn’t be drafted to work in the Army hospitals or worse, to be sent for active duty somewhere else. He was hoping that with his act of volunteering, he would be able to handle technical work the camps or hangars. After all, volunteers can be part of the extensive apprenticeship for technical work, if they are lucky. He was crossing his fingers and praying that luck would shine on him.

“Sakurai Touma!”, a man called his name as he was waiting in line. In 1939, his family had to change their last name to Sakurai and they had to adopt Japanese first names too. Though he and his family still called each other by their Korean names, it would be deemed atrocious, if not illegal, for them to use it outside. To prevent from being ostracized in their town by the Japanese officers and the community, they had to get used to responding to their Japanese names.

He approached the table where the “Gocho” (Corporal in Japanese) was. His heart was beating fast as he was concerned about what assignment he was going to give him.

The stern-looking man scrutinized him and asked for his documents and identification. He looked at his ID, then his face and then back again to his ID and documents. He was afraid that this man might just decide to send him to active duty, especially since the war efforts were more rampant now that Japan has taken a desperate push to continue its hold on several Southeast Asian countries after attacking Pearl Harbor in 1941.

He hoped though that his Japanese language level and family history may keep him in Ichihara, Chiba to work in the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service hangar as an air technician. He was fascinated with the fighter planes made by the Japanese for the war, despite his biases towards the Japanese people in general. 

However, he always remembers what his father said to him before he died: “If you follow their footsteps but know in the deepest of your heart that you are Korean, you are not being a traitor to your country. You are merely protecting yourself and your family to live long to fight for Korea in time.”

“Sakurai-san, are you a hardworking man?”, the Corporal asked him in Nihonggo. 

“Hai!”, he shouted as a response. He excitedly shared to the Corporal in Nihonggo his desire to work in the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service and what he studied in school that will help him become a good air technician.

“Have you ever seen a fighter plane up close before?”, the Corporal asked pointedly. Jun-seok opened his mouth to speak but didn’t say anything. He realized with that question that he has not seen one in real life. What he saw were drawings and photos of them in school and in newspapers.

“You disappoint me, Sakurai-san. How can you work on combat aircraft if you haven’t seen one at all?”, the Corporal said, swaying his head.  

“I have worked on cars and other machines, Gocho! I can be of use to the Imperial Army Air Service! I know what is needed to repair planes to make them work better and stronger to fight our enemies!”, he confidently said.

The Corporal was quiet for some time and was checking his logbook. He then encircled a portion of the page he was looking at. He looked again at the documents and ID Jun-seok gave him.

“You are Kim Jun-seok, yes?”, the Corporal asked him, looking at him intently.

He was taken aback by his question. He stammered and didn’t know what to say. Finally he replied: “My name is Sakurai Touma.”

The Corporal smiled and read a piece of paper that was tucked inside his logbook. “Kim Jun-seok, youngest son of Kim Man-seok and Kim Mi-sun. Younger brother to Kim Jun-ha. Studied in Keio University. Your father worked in the Chosun Hotel and eventually became a banker for the Bank of Korea. He then got elected as Shicho (Mayor) of Seongbuk-gu and was respected by the community and was considered as a kokumin (Japanese national).”

He stared at the Corporal, aware that his mouth was wide open with surprise. He closed it and was stunned to hear the Corporal tell him his family’s background.

“Your father was a great citizen of our nation... but we both know he shouldn’t have allowed those men treat him the way they did.”

He bowed his head. He was trying his best to fight back the tears as he remembered his father.

Kim Man-seok (called Sakurai Makoto in Japanese), didn’t allow three men, who beat him up profusely, to be prosecuted by the Japanese courts. His brother, Kim Jun-ha, was with their father when they attacked and his left leg was fractured when one of the men hit it with a lead pipe.

These men, who were part of the Korean rebel factions, almost killed him when they branded him as a “Chinilpa” or “pro-Japanese”. The Japanese military intervened anyway and had the men executed.

Despite his protests, Kim Man-seok was not able to prevent their deaths. He knew that his father was heartbroken when they died and he couldn’t understand why, even after they beat him and his brother up badly.

“They were misguided, son.”, he remembered his father saying to him. “They thought we support the Japanese but all I wanted us to protect our family. If we didn’t follow them, we would starve and die. They were fighting a war with the Japanese that would be done eventually. They just had to strive and survive because it would be over soon. If we live, we get to fight another day.” 

He felt then his father was a coward for acting the way he did - both to the men who hurt him and to the Japanese. It made him feel conflicted for weeks.

The Japanese officials lost faith in Kim Man-seok afterwards. They thought he was defecting by showing compassion towards his attackers. Because of this, they stripped him of his role as Shicho of Seongbuk-gu. He died months later from his injuries.

“Ahem...”, the Corporal cleared his throat and this brought Jun-seok back to reality and he looked up. “Sakurai-san, I know you are not like your father. You are a great citizen to our nation and you will serve us well if I send you to the hangars of the Imperial Air Service. But...we need you somewhere else.”

He started signing a piece a paper in front of Jun-seok. “We have a troublesome town to deal with and we need their land to build tarmacs for our fighter planes. It is a prosperous town and Shosa (Major) Kimori is good friends with their mayor. But our Korean forces there are giving the locals a hard time and Shosa Kimori is having difficulty intervening. He doesn’t want to execute the minimal troops we have there for their insolence and we need to secure that town for resources.”

“We haven’t found anyone who has a high level of language skill in Nihonggo and is also Korean to be sent to intervene and deal with these soldiers. You are perfect and I have been waiting for you to arrive so you can be sent there to help our Shosa and our country for our greater glory.”

The Corporal gave him a big sneer as he shoved the paper in Jun-seok’s hands. Jun-seok blinked twice and looked at what was written.

He was definitely not going to stay in Ichihara and he wasn’t going back home. It would be another two days before he would see land again.

Executive ImpactFull STEAM ahead: Emi Takemura takes on gender bias in education

TOKYO

“When I started work, I had a great respect for women in traditional companies in Japan. If you look at the conversion rates—for women who managed to get full-time positions in the workplace—they have been pretty low,” serial entrepreneur Emi Takemura told The Journal.

This is the reality in Japan despite the nation’s 1985 Equal Employment Opportunity Law (EEO), which was intended to level the playing field between genders in employment, recruitment, job assignment, and promotion.

Despite the EEO, “a lot of companies didn’t know how to utilize women, so many of them left the workplace. Of the people I know who worked for Japanese commercial banks after graduation, for example, none are still working in the industry, despite graduating from top universities.”

Takemura is a graduate of Keio University and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and is co-founder of Peatix Inc., a global event registration, management, and ticketing platform. She is a much-sought-after consultant and mentor who works with government, business, and the start-up ecosystem in the Asia–Pacific region.

In her myriad roles, she advocates for the advancement of women in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics—more commonly known as STEAM fields—and promotes new methods for preparing children for 21st-century careers.

Originally from Osaka, but with experience building businesses in the United States, Japan, and Southeast Asia, Takemura speaks candidly to The Journal about her career and desire to pass the lessons she has learned as a global executive to the next generation.

HIGH ACHIEVER

Recalling her early forays into the Japanese workforce in the late 1990s, Takemura says Japan’s corporate culture was simply not conducive for most ambitious, internationally minded women.

“If a company asks a woman to move to a branch in Kansai from the one in Tokyo, the expectation is that she will not leave her family; it is the man that is expected to relocate, not the woman,” she remembers from personal experience.

On another occasion, she recalls a male interviewer asking her questions in a manner that simply left her feeling undervalued, if not positively unwelcome.

Such subtle, structural biases mean women have been more likely than men to remain on the lower rungs of the career ladder, assuming they are allowed on at all. Some drop out of the workplace entirely.

“I hope this is changing but, traditionally, there were a lot of structural problems—be it working hours or issues concerning relocations or job roles, where managers didn’t know how to utilize women.”

The lack of a clear path for career advancement was a factor in her decision to invest in skills—such as business administration within a global company—that allowed her to tailor her career to her goals: working in an international environment and following her passion for building businesses.

GLOBAL AMBITION

From a young age, Takemura wanted to experience life outside Japan, far away from a sheltered upbringing in Osaka. This ambition, in part, owes to the tales of adventure and the presents her father brought back from business trips abroad.

“My dad was a gateway for me. As a doctor attending international conferences, he always brought back memorabilia from Italy, Egypt, or wherever, and talked about them so excitedly.”

That said, it came as a surprise to her family when, as a junior at Keio University, Takemura took a year off to study in the United States. That decision had profound impact on her future career choices. While living in Seattle, Takemura landed an internship with a construction company.

“That was a game-changer for me. While I didn’t speak a word of English initially, after about nine months, I could speak enough to get an internship as a research analyst.”

Importantly, her boss was a woman “fresh out of an MBA who became my role model.” Seeing how well her young boss was doing encouraged Takemura to pursue graduate studies herself.

“I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my career, but my time in Seattle made it clear to me that I had to get my graduate degree in the United States.”

YOUNG AND BOLD

However, no sooner had she returned to Japan and graduated college than frustration set in. Takemura encountered a rigid graduate entry interview processes, that, despite leading to job offers, often left her feeling undervalued or pigeon-holed.

Despite the challenges, she landed her first job in an international organization—a two-year stint as an equity sales trader at investment bank Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) in Japan.

Although naturally adventurous, Takemura found her interest in the outside world furthered by CSFB’s international portfolios. “I wanted to see [the world] with my own eyes.”

After completing the MBA program at the Wharton School, Takemura took a position in consulting with McKinsey & Company in New Jersey. Looking back, she is grateful for her time there, as it allowed her a chance to identify her real passion.

“I was torn between marketing, which was my major at Wharton, and consulting. And as I felt that going into corporate [work] straight after college would be limiting on my career, doing a wide range of consulting at McKinsey seemed to be the best option.”

As the public use of the Internet took shape in the mid-1990s, Takemura was in the right place at the right time to dip her feet into a technology that would change the world—and her fortunes.

Many of her clients at McKinsey & Company were in the IT and telecom industries, so she found herself ahead of the curve when the Internet expanded.

Executive positions in leading US and Japanese companies followed: Excite Japan Co. Ltd., Amazon Japan G.K., and The Walt Disney Company (Japan) Ltd. Indeed, after McKinsey, Takemura not only entered a senior management role at Excite, where she drove their product development strategy. At age 30, she was also on the company’s board of directors, making her one of only a handful of women of any age in Japan to hold such a position.

“It was a crazy and exciting time,” she recalls with a laugh. “I was working a lot, but it was a great gateway into the Internet space and, essentially, I was able to rise to the occasion.”

FOUNDER’S DILEMMA

Takemura and her co-founders launched Orinoco KK (then Orinoco Peatix KK as part of Peatix Inc.) in 2008 while they held regular jobs in other companies—in her case, while she was on maternity leave from Disney.

At first, she was an investor in—and board member of—the fledgling company. In those early days, the co-founders didn’t have any day-to-day duties at the start-up. But, due to poor results early on, that soon changed.

“Initially, we let others run the company while we maintained our regular jobs and worked on the platform on the weekends. We quickly found out that, without a ‘soul’—that is, the founders at the heart of its daily operation—it is very difficult to run a company.”

The first product was managed by a team of developers tasked with implementing and managing the vision of its hands-off investors and founders. Originally, the platform allowed creators, such as musicians, to sell their products and creations directly to consumers.

Unfortunately for Takemura and her co-founders, the idea never really took off—in part due to its missing “soul” and because the platform had a less-than-optimal design, so few people found it beneficial. The result? Sluggish growth.

Between late 2010 and early 2011, Takemura and her co-founders abandoned the original product and pivoted to launch Peatix, an event planning and marketing platform. As a result, they have gained a number of venture capital backers.

STEAM ENGINE

An established businesswoman, Takemura has evolved into the role of mentor for women and emerging start-ups—especially in the education sector—where she is helping establish many incubators and community-based organizations.

In 2015, Takemura co-founded Unreasonable Labs Japan, an affiliate of US-based Unreasonable Institute, a global network of social entrepreneurship accelerators. Focused on providing entrepreneurship education, Unreasonable Labs Japan works with early-stage start-ups to help develop sustainable business models that have social impact in their five-day boot camps.

In 2016, she established FutureEdu Tokyo, a loose-knit network of volunteers that inspires parents via media—especially at the elementary level.

Where does Takemura see herself in five years?

“I would like to stay in education for a while, especially working with girls in STEAM in Japan. Here, there is a horrible streamlining into two categories—sciences and humanities—when kids are thinking of applying to college.”

One result of such filtering for women is that there is a dearth of female technical founders of companies, a problem she faced herself.

“I was a founder, but not a technical one. Had I been a technical founder, I feel that I would have been able to do a lot more, because whenever I wanted something technical done, I had to ask or hire someone else to do it—and that was a limiting factor.”

While she admits that it will take some time to improve the situation, Takemura adds: “Technology can be really empowering and, especially for women, it can raise their status in the workplace and society in general.”

topic: i’ve decided to stop doing the one thing i do almost everyday

67 posts in this topic posted 20 march 2017

top contributor offthewall

my life isn’t incredibly eventful, but also at the same time i would rather be bored than have something devastating happen. monday through thursday is essentially the same schedule. i wake up at 9am, and it takes me about 45 minutes to get ready for the sake of not being a morning person. i get dressed, eat, shower, do my hair, and if i’m lucky enough i’ll visit the lawson downstairs from my apartment to grab melon bread for breakfast

then, i’d either take the train or drive, depends on the circumstances if my car is in the repair shop or not. but usually, that’s how most mornings are for me as a student

then i’d spend on average ten hours a day at school going to class, being out of class, catching up with homework, attending various clubs all the while seeing my friends

i was studying business administration. it’s a popular major that sometimes i’d (lmao) feel ashamed to tell others what was i studying because it’s so common

but that was how i was living like for almost two years and i hated it

i filled out withdrawal forms in my school’s registrar office not too long ago and walked out with a tremendous weight being lifted off my shoulders it was almost like i was 10kg lighter and at that point to me it felt like nothing really mattered. it was the most strangest feeling, that i’ve never felt before and to be quite frank it was scary but so wonderful in the sense that i was able to reach that amount of freedom but on the drive back home i began to wonder to myself

so what now? what will i do? what’s the game plan

top contributor offthewall

edit: kinda was typing really fast and everything was pourin out my head i forgot to mention that i’m no longer in japan either i’ve been in korea for the past couple months. i mainly flew out cause of school but also cause i had to see my cousins get married and that really put me in a slump

not so much about love i mean my bank account but now i’m stuck

administrator _yomiuri02

there’s bravery in not following traditional or conventional ways of getting an education, so i applaud you. i get the feeling that you were never into business, and perhaps you have another interest? have you thought about changing your major before dropping out? or was university not your primary interest?

newbie misosoupsan

my question is how did your folks take it

contributor risaa.aa285

that’s crazy brave.. i don’t think i could’ve done that. lol and coming from me myself, i didn’t hate nor love the time of being a university student. your japanese is very unspecific at times, are you from tokyo (kanto region)? what school did you attend?

top contributor offthewall

@_yomiuri02: yeah no i actually really wasn’t into going back to school but i’m not gonna lie it did sound exciting especially since i was going to be surrounded by my friends. i simply went with business because i figured it’s the easiest way with getting a job, even though i was setting myself up for salaryman hell lmao. university was definitely not in my greatest interests either so i really kind of took it upon myself

@misosoupsan: my parents aren’t too crazy about school since neither of them are college graduates. they work in real estate, the two of them, so just like as mentioned above to yomiuri i basically took it upon myself to study. i don’t know i thought it’d be good and beneficial for me but it’s probably been a waste of time. no wonder japan’s education percentages are so high, everybody’s told to go to school and (while it’s not a bad idea) for some of us that method to adulthood has failed us. got me thinking if it’s a societal obsession kinda thing but i could be talkin my head off. for the most part though, they took it pretty well. like yeah they seemed a bit confused and maybe if i wasn’t mistaken even disappointed but the phone call didn’t trouble me all that much

@risaa.aa285: i’m from yokohama. my family included. i’m zainichi, and yokohama has a largely populated chinese community. japanese is my first language but even then kanto dialect isn’t as distinguished as kansai dialect for example. i used to go to keio university

top contributor ripslyme_fan2

you got accepted into keio and decided to back down?? dropout?? what kind of grades, recommendation letters and test scores did you have in order to get in? i can’t tell if i’m mad at you for being smart enough to get accepted or if i’m just as happy that you decided to not be another corporate droid… LOL

PRESENT.

top contributor offthewall

when you’re filling out those withdraw papers, be prepared to understand that this is pretty much an end to your solution. by that i mean once its been signed, there’s really no going back. sit down and think about it, especially if you don’t have a backup plan. i was in your position over a year ago, and it’s the best thing i’ve done in all my life so far. it’s rewarding, especially if you’ve had episodes of sitting in lectures, or registering for classes and having to fight for the government for money to pay for your courses especially if your heart isn’t in it. college ain’t cheap, far from it, so if you feel like you’re wasting your time, energy and money while you could be working on another craft of yours, then i say do it

i’ve been out of school for about a year and several months like i said a bit earlier. i’m still in debt, but obviously not as much as someone who graduated with a bachelor’s. i had a plan, and i stuck with it. i have a full-time job but i’m also working on something of my own in the making, and i live in a pretty comfortable sharehouse. it’s the only thing that i can afford at the moment, but i’m not complaining. crowded, but comfortable. all of this while being in a foreign country

and yeah, sometimes shit gets tough but you gotta buckle down, right?

your future is how you make it to be you are the architect of your destiny

KENGO KUMA

Kengo kuma was born in yokohama, Japan in 1954. After graduating in architecture from the university of Tokyo in 1979, he worked for a time at nihon sekkei and TODA corporation. He then moved to New York for further studies at Columbia university as a visiting researcher from 1985 to 1986, he founded the “spatial design studio” and in 1990, he established his own office “kengo kuma and associates” he has taught at Columbia university, university of illinois at Urbana champagne and Keio university, where in 2008, kuma was awarded his PHD in architecture. Kuma is currently professor at the graduate school of of architecture at the university of Tokyo, running diverse research projects concerning architecture, urbanity and design within his own laboratory, kuma lab.

Kumas stated goal is to recover the tradition of Japanese buildings and to reinterpret these traditions for the 21st century. In 1997, he won the architectural institute of japan award and in 2009 was made an officer l’orde des arts et des letters in France. His seminal text anti object: the dissolution and disintegration of architecture from 2008, calls for an architecture of relations, respecting its surroundings instead of dominating them. Kumas projects maintain a keen interest in the manipulation of light with nature through materiality.

Some of his key projects include the suntory museum of art in Tokyo, bamboo wall house in China, LVMH (Louise Vuitton Moët Hennessy) groups japan headquarters, besançon art Center in France, and one of the largest spas in the Caribbean for mandarin orientalists Dellis cay.

Early life: kuma was born in kanagawa, and attended Eiko gakuen junior and senior high schools. After graduating in architecture from the university of Tokyo in 1979, he worked for a time, he then moved to New York City for further studios at Columbia university as a visiting researcher from 1985 to 1986. In 1987, kuma founded the spatial design studio, and in 1990, he established his own firm, kengo kuma and associates. He has taught at Columbia university, the university of illnois and keio university. Kumas stated goal is to recover the tradition of Japanese buildings and to reinterpret these traditions for the 21st century. In 1997, he won the architectural institute of japan award and in 2009 was made an officer de l’orde des in France. Kuma lectures extensively and is the author of numerous books and articles discussing and criticising approaches in contemporary architecture. Although remaining in continuity with Japanese traditions with the clarity of structural solutions, implied tectonics, and importance of light and transparency kuma does not restrain himself to the banal and superficial use of light materials. Instead, instead, he goes much deeper extending to the mechanisms of composition to expand the possibilities of materially. He utilises technological advancements which can challenge unexpected materials, such as stone, into providing the same sense of lightness and softness as glass or wood. Kuma attempts to attain a sense of spatial immateriality as a consequence of the particulate nature of the light and establishing a relationship between a space and the natural round around it. In many of kumas projects attention is focused on the connection spaces; on the segments between inside and outside, and one room to the next. The choice of materials stems not so much from an intention to guide the designs of the forms, but to conform to the existing surroundings from a desire to compare similar materials, yet show the technical advances that have made possible new uses.

I like this artist as his art work looks very natural (in the first picture) it looks like wood or bamboo so it would be natural to the environment

Regional Analysis

Geographically, the global bioimplants market is segmented into the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA).

The Americas are deemed to dominate the global market owing to prevalence of chronic disorders such as diabetes and obesity, incidence of chronic diseases, a large geriatric pool, and increasing number of surgeries. According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), nearly 93 million Americans suffered from obesity. Large number of hip and knee replacement surgeries is evidence of the large potential of the market.

Europe is the second-largest region of the market due to rise in research and development activities, occurrence of orthopedic disorders, and ample funding for the healthcare sector. The large number of cardiovascular disorder cases is giving prime impetus to the regional bioimplants market growth. According to the European Heart Network, more than 85 million patients were diagnosed with some form of cardiovascular disease in Europe in 2015.

APAC can display an exemplary growth rate during the forecast period owing to rising investments in healthcare, rise of disposable income levels, and a large geriatric population. According to the United Nations ESCAP, the population of patients aged 60 and above can reach 1.3 billion by 2050. Alarming number of road accidents are likely to spur the demand for bioimplants. This is supported by a report by Tokyo’s Keio University stating the number of patients with spinal cord injuries to reach 100,000 in 2019.

The MEA can register the lowest growth of the global bioimplants market due to lack of proper healthcare infrastructure, paucity of technical knowledge, and an underdeveloped healthcare sector.
