Taught the "Kiritsubo" and "Wakamurasaki" chapters of The Tale of Genji today and the discussion went so well. And then I went to the drugstore just outside campus and saw this spectacular tree 🌸

Taught Kurosawa's Yojimbo this week and decided to explore some of the less known remakes, for my own edification. The Warrior and the Sorceress (1984) is tremendously bad, in the most fun way. 78 minutes of pure hilarity. Students loved seeing a clip from this during class discussion.
