Early modern Japanese literature. Researching what women read and how they read it. Dabbling in digital humanities (knowledge graphs, TEI). I don't post much but I'm here!
For those who would like to be spared the click through:

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally?

if I have nothing else, I at least have Welcia label translations

Sometimes the English is arguably more fun than the Japanese (in this product's case, I think the interesting translation stems from the nuance of ~派 in the Japanese)

Some of them clearly had a lot of thought put into them

I would like to meet the hero who translates Welcia product names

自分の猫を見てよく「なんていじらしい!」「なんてけなげ!」って思うんですけど「いじらしい」って意味分かってないのかな、私

Much as I loved my Shinjuku pikmin icon, this illustration of a gal enjoying her ninjobon is too on-brand to NOT be my profile picture (from Waseda's edition of Shunshoku Umemibune)

On the one hand, I'm so happy I have a book from Tempō 8, but on the other hand, sad about the missing pages 🥲 (It's shohen/chū of Takane no Hana by Shōtei Kinsui)

Another unauthorized board on UTokyo campus. I've never seen 運動 written as 運动 before (in fact, had to google "云+力 漢字 to copy paste that character in; couldn't quite summon it with my regular keyboard)

Today is October 21st, Trafalgar Day, the day for celebrating my beautiful cat Trafalgar. (Right?)

Some other boards that had warnings for removal got removed from the area in front of Yasuda Auditorium... and placed in front of Akamon instead.

The battle for messaging in front of Yasuda Auditorium continues. These boards keep going up, keep getting warnings that they will be taken down, disappearing, and then promptly a new one goes up.
