ATAMI, Shizuoka Prefecture–Roof tiles for Edo Castle, including a gargoyle tile featuring the Tokugawa shogun clan’s coat of arms, were among well-preserved items found from a ship that sank more than 300 years ago.
The Asian Research Institute of Underwater Archaeology (ARIUA), a Fukuoka-based nonprofit organization, held a study session from Dec. 13 through 16 at the site where a cargo ship sank on a voyage from Osaka to Edo, or present-day Tokyo.
With cooperation from the Hatsushima Diving Center, 11 people, including researchers and students who are ARIUA members, dived to a 20-meter-deep seabed off the western coast of Hatsushima island.
The study was subsidized by The Asahi Shimbun Foundation. Read more.

“Urashima Taro, it gives me the highest pleasure to welcome you to my father’s kingdom,” said the Princess. “Yesterday you set free a tortoise, and I have sent for you to thank you for saving my life, for I was that tortoise. Now if you like you shall live here forever in the land of eternal youth, where summer never dies and where sorrow never comes, and I will be your bride if you will, and we will live together happily forever afterwards!”
remember when you were a kid and whenever your parents came into the room while you were doing something for pleasure like looking at something on the computer or watching tv and you’d immediately close the thing like you’d just been caught watching porn when you were actually doing nothing wrong this post was made by strict parents with no boundaries gang
I’d like to add this on, to make things easier for everyone, since the books aren’t…actually in the correct order if you just read them in chronological order.
It’s a link to a masterpost of mine with all of the books in their proper order, using the site above, so that you don’t have to play a guessing game with which books you should be reading when.
Please don’t take the words “read animorphs” lightly, I experienced these books at nearly thirty years old and I am still shaken by some of the body horror, vividly accurate representations of psychological trauma and at least a dozen explorations into the terror of genocide.
The female gaze can be completely inscrutable for men but here’s a quick and not-entirely-sensible diagram I drew while pooping to try and make my preferences clear:
“millenials are so stupid, they can’t perform basic life skills” cries the generation that failed to teach their children basic life skills
also a lot of those practical skills were taught in classes like home ec that have been cut completely as schools slash all spending not related to sports and STEM
