Antique dealers have no morals.

Rant ahead. Please share.

I just ran across this item being put up for sale by an antique dealer based out of Long Beach, CA. The retail price is $525 and the carving is allegedly of Ebisu.

If this is a legitimate carving taken from a shrine it is a shintai and it is extremely inappropriate to buy and sell items like this!

Right off-hand, I'd say, do not do business with anyone selling anything like this. Not only is it extremely inappropriate, but there is a good possibility it is completely and utterly fake. Ebisu is one of the Seven Lucky Gods and little carvings like this are fairly common. It only took me a couple seconds to find a much nicer carved figurine for $55.95.

As for that shrine model, I could do a better job out in my garage. (If you've seen the post I accidentally posted to this blog of the Book Nook, you know I'm not boasting.) The construction work is about as crude as it can get. There are nails visible, and it shows signs of having been painted with ordinary house paint and then left out in the open. Most Kamidana shrine models either have no paint or have been stained and lacquered. The damage on the front step indicates rough handling instead of natural weathering. The nails; I did an article a while back where I stated that it's OK to use fasteners, but the thing is, a good craftsman would find ways to hide those fasteners. For example, the two nails on the board above the door. A couple fancy furniture tacks are what would normally be there on a small wooden shrine model.

That hole in the middle of the part on top that resembles a Kasagi has absolutely no reason to be there.

Is it worth five hundred bucks? In my opinion, no, it's not. It's not even worth a hundred. Doubt I'd even give them ten. The website gives no history about the item and no evidence that it's an actual antique. For all we know these things are being manufactured in places like the Philippines or China in mass quantities to feed the American appetite for items like this.

Do not spend your hard-earned money on stuff like this. The only people you will impress are the ignorant.

End rant.

Man is saying weird things to me again

#help mom he's oversharing about drinking scotch every evening #that's very on brand for Man #tales from diana #i literally did Nothing to reach out to him i don't know what he wants #i was just thinking in the shower literally not even half an hour ago about how you know it's strange #he used to always have this way of talking to me like he was trying to impress me which is just kinda silly honestly #like i was a 20-21-year-old in awe of him and he was a retired male model eight years older than me w more life experience #and some rather exotic and interesting experiences at that #i think he somewhat envies that i seem (at least to him) like a self-possessed 'intellectual'#thats how he talks to me at least. it's funny tho #not that im not. like. smart. i think the both of us know i'm better-read than he'll be in 3 lifetimes #and i'm not quite self-possessed but i certainly don't have the open-wounded insecurity he does #while also being rather more confident than most ppl in some areas (and it's not ALL unearned)#he's got much more ambition than i do though. more ambition than i'll have in 10 lifetimes #and he seems to do everything with a motivation of external validation and approval.#so i think he has a chip on his shoulder. poor little Man #the two of us could not be more opposite. but i don't really strive to be like him in the ways he strives to be like me #he chases this dream of what he thinks the perfect man is and it's quite inhuman so of course he falls short.#i on the other hand am if anything much TOO accepting of my own faults and shortcomings. ahem #these are all things i will never say to Man. he's too silly to hear it #besides. im rather sure he likes me (? in some way) and i am these days just very ambivalent to him #i can't NOT say i find him attractive bc i do but he's just. sooooo not the one lol #he's a fascinating creature all flaws aside but i never find myself studying him at my own volition #Man just comes outta the woods sometimes to tell me about his travels or women or whiskey. he's odd #he's very eccentric but between the two of us i think i'm the better eccentric. no wonder he visits me sometimes #but he brings gifts and prayers like he's coming to a devotional shrine or something. i'm like sir this is not a temple #he'll never be normal but he is so strange in the ways i'm too good for. if i do say so myself #(and that's saying something bc i'm not too good for ANYTHING)

Finally finished this piece. It's my first full 3D scene. I learned so much from this (like don't spend too much time on background objects that won't be visible). Really fun stuff! Look forward to what I do next 😊

Rin Satsuki who's fanon design looks alot like Alice's Hourai doll with short hair

do yall get what im putting down

#Rin is the last big project Shiki had before the inevitable collaspe of Makai #Alice uncovered her and is trying to mend her to her intended state #but things arent going as plan #Theres. alot of layering to tgis specific AU but my favourite part of it is that #Alice may or may not have subconciously modeled her after a certain shrine maiden #she has stupid lore in AUs not related to touhou but those are my own treasures to keep #until i can word better #corr.txt #rin satsuki

Alright alright, so everyone loves pointing out how short Link is.

But has anyone considered that the shrine of resurrection may have stunted his growth? He was 16-18 when he straight up died, and then was brought back to life over the course of 100 years.

Totk appears to take place 5 or 6 years post-botw, and while Zelda was taller than Link before, she seems even taller now.

I vote immortally youthful zombie hero.

#was he dead dead? unclear. but I find it hard to believe it took 100 years to heal a not-dead person #also it’s the shrine of RESURRECTION not the shrine of ‘near fatality aftercare’#I say 16-18 bc a) Zelda had to be 17 to go to the spring of wisdom but who knows if that applies to Link #and b) I could’ve sworn there was a diary or song somewhere that mentioned them being close in age #and also I don’t think his model has changed at all between games #apple talks #totk theory

3d Printed Micro Shrine

Here’s my micro shrine project that I printed with Hatchbox Wood PLA and adorned with red oak veneer.

It houses a #52toys Lucky Cat figurine and has moving doors. I based this project off the miniature Japanese shinto shrines and Chinese roadside shrines.
