Irezumi (1966)
"See how fascinating this painting is? A beauty trampling the corpses of countless men at her feet, feasting on their flesh and blood to grow and prosper. Tell me... don't you think she resembles you?"

Writing my Natsume's Book of Friends fanfic did force me to contend with who, if anyone, has a car in Yatsuhara (Natsume's town). It's obviously a very walkable place and thanks to Japan's actual robust public transit it seems like they take the train or bus everywhere so a lot of people probably don't.
I don't THINK the Fujiwaras have a car since we never see it and the layout of their house doesn't look like it has a garage or car anywhere. I guess Shigeru takes the train or walks to wherever he works.
So I just ended up choosing Nishimura at random as the one whose family has a car because it was convenient for the fic's plot.
It also made me realize absolutely nobody in Natsume appears to have any kind of cell phone. I guess either it perpetually takes place in 2003 or there's just like. absolutely no service in that town.
There's actually not any super modern technology now that I think about it...these kids don't even seem to have a Playstation. what the hell.
#no wonder the fujiwaras were like hmmm a teenager might get bored here#natsume's book of friends#it would interfere with the calm rural aesthetic i guess!#like they could have beepers at least but no#takashi natsume#natsume takashi#touko fujiwara#shigeru fujiwara#meta#like the times have to be SOMEWHAT modern because Reiko has a slight sukeban aesthetic and that was in the 70s and 80s. though. idk

Hey, @confusednymphinayellowdress, I'm your gift giver for @natsume-ss spring exchange! I went with the time travel prompt. I hope you like it!
Rating: general audience
Warning: none
Relationship: Natsume Reiko & Fujiwara Touko
Characters: Natsume Reiko, Fujiwara Touko, the black and the white crow
Additional tags: time travel, good parent Fujiwara Touko, slightly ooc Reiko, yokai shenanigans
Summary: No one said having a son with secrets was going to be easy. And while Touko would never pressure Takashi into telling her anything, her crow friends disagree. Fortunately or unfortunately they decide to give Touko some pointers, if she wants them or not.
Or: Local crows decide to involve the mom™ in some timey wimey shenanigans, leading to an unlikely meeting.

And so, Natsume Yuujinchou adds yet ANOTHER blond to their cast...
#dee p thoughts#natsume yuujinchou#love the series and am appreciative of an ''average'' looking cast but like. there are SO MANY#the blond to brunette and black haired character ratio is off the charts at the very least with the main cast adfjklndalkjn#I really do wish the anime let natsume have his white hair (1) cool (2) stand out (3) thematically more resonant the whole point is that he#''a freak'' and out there when hes JUST A SWEET AND NORMAL KID AUGHHHHHH#just seeing natsume natori yorishima...particularly the last 2 will mix up for me#NATORIS DEFINING FEATURE IS HIS GLASSES SJKBNSKFJL- reiko taki...the prominently recurring cast is full of blonds#was gonna include nishimura thankfully hes brunette rep while takuma and matoba are the only ones with black hair#I suppose we have the fujiwaras...

Neither one of these titles were in the event last year, but I would LOVE for a magical girl manga to be in the running this time around! 🤩
Which of these series do you want to be in the event?

What is Seimei relationship to Abe no Takako as they have the same surname? Are they from the same Clan?
It seems like the Onmyoji 2023 Anime have some plots that are similar to what I read in these summaries of this manga, which could mean they could be in the novel too.
According to Wikipedia, Takuzu is Seimei's wife so is she in her teens and so is Seimei is in his 20s? It is not out of the ordinary, but it might turn some my followers off.
I do understand them giving Seimei's sons more attention, but why did the author included Abe no Yoshimasa, but not Abe no Yoshihira?
Onmyouji Vol 9
The volumes are getting increasingly thicker. This volume contains three stories.
In the first, “Uri Sennin,” Hiromasa tells Seimei about an odd experience he had: he was traveling when an old man asked some men transporting melons if he could have some. They refused, but the old man took the melon seeds, planted them, and turned them into melon plants, which everyone ate. But then the men figured out that those were the melons they were carrying.
Keep reading

thinking about trans girl natsume feeling safe to come out after living with the fujiwaras for a couple years and then she starts transitioning and then one day she looks in the mirror and realizes she looks like her grandmother and it makes her cry because she used to battle with insecurities but she's always thought reiko was gorgeous so if she looks like reiko that must mean she's beautiful too right?

Natsume Week, Day 7: Alternate Universe
You know I had to draw that warrior cats kittypets AU I talked about a few months back. its too good not to
I'm not gonna repeat all the Lore here because I am lazy. but my one addendum to it is that I think the youkai would be like wayward spirits of various animals that wander the forest that only certain cats can see, and the clan cats teamed up to combat them. the youkai go after nutmeg (natsume) because his mother (reiko) went around fighting a bunch of them for fun
also bonus Natsume kitty being spoiled by the Fujiwaras:
#wasn't sure what type of fancy purebreed to make natori but then I realised he'd be a perfect siamese. and then I remembered flame points#natsume week#natsume yuujinchou#natsume's book of friends#fan art#art

Japanese Fashion Designers
Bonnie English
Bloomsbury, 188 pages, ISBN 9781847883100
euro 50,00
Over the past 40 years, Japanese designers have led the way in aligning fashion with art and ideology, as well as addressing identity and social politics through dress. They have demonstrated that both creative and commercial enterprise is possible in today's international fashion industry, and have refused to compromise their ideals, remaining autonomous and independent in their design, business affairs and distribution methods. The inspirational Miyake, Yamamoto and Kawakubo have gained worldwide respect and admiration and have influenced a generation of designers and artists alike. Based on twelve years of research, this book provides a richly detailed and uniquely comprehensive view of the work of these three key designers. It outlines their major contributions and the subsequent impact that their work has had upon the next generation of fashion and textile designers around the world. Designers discussed include: Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo, Naoki Takizawa, Dai Fujiwara, Junya Watanabe, Tao Kurihara, Jun Takahashi, Yoshiki Hishinuma, Junichi Arai, Reiko Sudo & the Nuno Corporation, Makiko Minagawa, Hiroshi Matsushita, Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Bikkembergs, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Helmut Lang.
