Hiii silly question but is leftover Jeanne the same person as the Jeanne d'arc (historical character)?

Honestly idk... in the bayonetta games jeanne is heavily inspired by the real historical figure, but in the same way Rodin is the bayo games version of Satan ((fallen angel, now on earth, etc etc)) Making jeanne have the last name D'Arc is mainly a fannon thing but she does share the same birthday, ((first)) name, and is a witch, which the real person was accused of being

#itd be fun to kind of explore that but tbh im fucking lazy and dont feel like researching lmao #my ass is too busy looking up the geography of paris #did you know i had to scour google earth to find a real world museum that would hold an umbran exhibit and not be the louvre #its the musée du quai branly - jacques chirac in the fic. btw #bayo #ask #misc

Fishskin Robes of the Ethnic Tungusic People of China and Russia

Oroch woman’s festive robe made of fish skin, leather, and decorative fur trimmings [image source].

Nivkh woman’s fish-skin festival coats (hukht), late 19th century. Cloth: fish skin, sinew (reindeer), cotton thread; appliqué and embroidery. Promised gift of Thomas Murray L2019.66.2, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minnesota, United States [image source].

The Hezhe people 赫哲族 (also known as Nanai 那乃) are one of the smallest recognized minority groups in China composed of around five thousand members. Most live in the Amur Basin, more specifically, around the Heilong 黑龙, Songhua 松花, and Wusuli 乌苏里 rivers. Their wet environment and diet, composed of almost exclusively fish, led them to develop impermeable clothing made out of fish skin. Since they are part of the Tungusic family, their clothing bears resemblance to that of other Tungusic people, including the Jurchen and Manchu.

They were nearly wiped out during the Imperial Japanese invasion of China but, slowly, their numbers have begun to recover. Due to mixing with other ethnic groups who introduced the Hezhen to cloth, the tradition of fish skin clothing is endangered but there are attempts of preserving this heritage.

Although Hezhen clothing is characterized by its practicality and ease of movement, it does not mean it’s devoid of complexity. Below are two examples of ornate female Hezhen fishskin robes. Although they may look like leather or cloth at first sight, they’re fully made of different fish skins stitched together. It shows an impressive technical command of the medium.

The Nivkh people of China and Russia also make clothing out of fish skin. Like the Hezhen, they also live in the Amur Basin but they are more concentrated on and nearby to Sakhalin Island in East Siberia.

“The imaginary world of Hayao Miyazaki in Aubusson tapestries” project has unveiled a new tapestry today. It’s the banquet scene from Spirited away where Chihiro confronts No-face, and it’s GLORIOUS.

Pictures are from Catsuka and Cité internationale de la tapisserie’s insta. You can also see it here in video (all in French sorry!), 40min has the “tombée de métier” (when weavers cut the warp threads once a tapestry is finished) and 1h08min is when they unveil it.

Aubusson manufacture project is to make 5 full size tapestries from Ghibli’s works using traditional weaving techniques.

They have already worked on Princess Mononoke, finished last year:

But the scenes I anticipate the most are coming, as they are now starting to work on Howl’s Moving Castle - especially Howl’s wizard bedroom :D

They are atm working on the cartons (weaving guide/blueprints):

Spirited Away tapestry will stay exposed in Aubusson for the moment, while Mononoke one will be shown at Opéra de Bordeaux in March, and in Musée du Quai Branly in Paris this summer ;)

Starting a new bullet journal! When I went to Paris in March 2019, I took a picture of the Eiffel Tower from the garden of the musée du quai Branly. Finally turned it into a drawing.
