Perfect activity for a rainy day: building a Thousand Sunny kigumi set ☔️🫶

The other day my husband and me put on some One Piece ambient lofi mix on YouTube and build this cute wooden Sunny model!

Kigumi is actually a japanese form of traditional wood framework. We found a shop at Solamachi mall where they sell kigumi models of lots of different stuff like traditional houses, cute character and obviously also anime stuff.

The Sunny set was rated with difficulty level 4 out of 5 and it took us one and a half hour to build it. We had no experience with kigumi before, but that wasn’t a problem at all. We just had to get used to how much pressure we can put on the wood pieces. I’ve to admit I broke one piece, though. But we could glue it and everything still worked out fine.

10/10 would recommend this!

FFXIV Write 2023 Prompt 6: Ring

((Character: Pippena Pipp, Expansion: No spoilers))

Master Kimura frowned as he stepped into the foreigner's "Dojo" already disgusted by the entranceway through the back of the tackiest eatery he had ever set foot in. "Taste of Eorzia" had already accosted him with moogle mascots begging him to seat for Limsa Lomincemeat sandwiches and Ul'doghnuts, and his mood did not improve much as he took in the simplistic setup before him.

A single tatami mat, a spattering of training dummies, suites of armor and weapons that showed little reverence to the warriors who wore them. Just more decoration, just another greedy soul invading his homeland, perverting its culture in mockery.

In truth, he knew little of Eorzia, but he knew martial arts, knew the history of oppression and conflict that saw the need for those who could defend themselves from bandits and invaders. These traditions giving way to complex and honorable schools and disciplines over the centuries. And here, before him, finishing up a bowl of cheese covered noodles, was a simple lalafell, wearing peasants robes, having the gall to yawn before standing to bow in greeting. He considered cutting her down on the spot for such disrespect, but she had accepted his challenge and he would not dare answer that in bloodshed. Soon enough he would have her packing away from these shores.

"Master... Pipp, was it?" Such odd rhyming names these westerners had, though in truth there was some element of whimsy in local customs to the little ones in Kugane, he supposed. "Yeah, uhh.. you're uhh.. which one were you, Kigumi?"

His eyes narrowed, the Au'ra's tail swished to reveal his displeasure. "You were expecting another?"

"Challenger? Yeah, it's gotten pretty common, I think you're the third so far this month?" she began shadowboxing, her feet bouncing of the mat in a chittering, undisciplined dance, it wasn't unlike the serpent school, he noted, but something was off about the movements, she was no master, couldn't be."

"Right... where are your students?" he mentioned as more footsteps descended the stairs. six of his most promising students shuffled down in their formalwear to witness their school's Master challenge this upstart. They took their seats at the edge of the tatami, nearest to the exit, as was custom. "Huh? It's like... the middle of the day?" Pipp countered, "they have like... jobs and stuff."

A vessel began to bulge on his forehead, the fighting arts, a proper school should be the focus of any student, not vocations and distractions. He shook his head. "Lets get this over with, what are the rules of challenges here.?

"Rules? Uhh.... KOs or tap outs? Is there another way, I thought touches were more for swordfighting."

She wasn't wrong, necessarily, but still, the answer bristled him. "Accepted. Lets get to it then." He approached the center of the ring, and gave a formal bow, Pippena, for all his aggravation towards her, responded in kind, with passable form. "Remember, If I win, you leave these shores." He entered a suzaku stance, perfect for fighting a smaller opponent, ready to counter low blows with more flowing style that allowed for sharp, staccato kicks. His opponent, however, raised her arms and continued with this erratic hopping, no.. shifting footwork, it seemed lose and... "Yeah yeah, you ready?" she replied.

"Begin!" he acknowledged, and just as he shifted to a defensive posture, the lalafell had leapt over his defenses, moving with exceptional speed as she twisted in the air and aimed a spinning kick right at his face, he deftly dodged his heat to the right only to feel a sharp tug of one of his horns as the used it as a fulcrum to change direction and stepped on he shoulder to aim three quick jabs to his face. The speed was something he expected but the power of the blows sent him reeling. He dove back to break her off, intending to meet her low in a charge as she recovered back to his feet only to discover she closed the distance fast, he aimed a sweeping kick only to see he hop over it like a with a backwards midair spin that twirled into a roundhouse kick to his torso.

He ignored the pain and opened up into a flurry of attacks, Seiryu-style clearly the way to go, only to find her taking an upward boxing stance, dodging her body quickly up, left, and over just as his strikes were close to landing, and then he felt a intense pain to his jaw as a spinning uppercut sent -him- spinning upwards, halfway to the roof of this tiny dojo.

As he came too, Pipp offered him a hand to get up, he batted it away, groggily, Smiling, she patted a large box, opening it to reveal an impressive amount of gil, "You know the deal, you're on the hook for a years worth of upkeep now, thank you for your donation!"

"H-how?" he gasped out, unbelieved.

"How? Because i'm like, the best? Why isn't that catching on by now?"

She grinning widely, confidently. He had no room to argue.

At Axel Vervoordt's Terrace Gallery in Wijnegem, Antwerp, Chiyu Uemae (11 February–22 April 2023) collects distinct periods in the artist's practice, from his 'pointillist' paintings of the 1950s and 60s during the Gutai era, his Kigumi (meaning 'wooden framework') sculptures of the 1970s and Nui (stitch) textile works of the 1980s and 90s, through to his late-career oil paintings. Uemae remained active in his practice through his nineties until his death in 2018.
