Edo (Bini): Ose bungbe, enoguhen ku ravan ebiebi re. Iyan fie gbe iyan ware, baba nure miamia ó okuo no wegbe. Nari na muagbe nu do ro, okuo no roregbe o mihefo.
English Translation: Friends are too much, they play with you during the day; when it is dark they change themselves. God, don't forget, this is a strong war. Be ready to fight the war; within myself, it has not finished.

"Hatsune Riding Ground," Hiroshige, 1856.
Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was the last great master of the ukiyo-e print, an art style that focused on life in urban pleasure districts, often with portraits of beautiful women or famous actors. Hiroshige was somewhat daring in choosing to do a series of landscapes around his home in the city of Edo, now known as Tokyo.
Here we have the Hatsune area, at the city's northern edge, mostly dedicated to lodging visitors. The tower is one of a number of fire watchtowers around the city, and the huge bolts of cloth are not triumphal banners, but simply freshly dyed textiles hung out to dry. The overall effect is of a typical day in the city, a different approach for ukiyo-e.
This is part of a series of woodcuts called "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" and can be found online. They're at all times of the day and the year, at all occasions, but provide a fascinating glimpse into 19th century Japanese life.
His work was a huge influence on Western artists like Van Gogh and the Impressionists, and his work is still loved today in Japan.
From the Brooklyn Museum.

Kyoto’s Nightlife (1859) 🏮
A striking bird's-eye view of Kyoto by ukiyoe master Gountei (Utagawa) Sadahide. This woodblock print vividly captures the energy of the Gion Festival blending with crowds cooling off along Shijō Street and the Kamo River. Known as the "flying artist," Sadahide expertly details the bustling evening stalls, festival floats, and vibrant community life.

#Airisu: The Crow and the Witch
Dōken-shin (Airisu POV) Post 21
#Wss366 Concert #TimeTravelAuthors Whatever #Edo“Is the beckoning-cat now the weasel’s master?” Arakawa-sama’s aura had calmed, but his eyes remained fierce.
I took exception to being called a cat and to my mistress being compared to a weasel. However, with the kami’s stew pot metaphor still fresh in my mind, I watched my tongue when I responded, “Neither cat nor vermin. I attend a spotted huntress. Your cord is not for her.”
Sumika watched our debate and remained silent. I dreaded what might happen if she entered the conversation. I doubted she’d mastered the complexities of Edo-era metaphorical sophistication, unlike an educated corvid I knew.
He responded with his fan pointed at me, cobalt sparks snapping along its edge. "I hear an owl in the forest, but does it know the kite has tasted my lure?"
Again with the insults, calling me an owl this time. Thankfully, he hadn’t escalated to physical violence, which would have been impossible for us to respond to. He wanted something from us, so I gave it to him.
“Kindness repaid, but we nest in the wild.”
He tapped his fan; the energy along it began flowing smoothly, mellowing to a soft sapphire, and then replied, “I have been answered.”
Reaching forward, he touched a finger to a trickle of blood from the wound on my mistress’s neck. “A token,” he said.
Sumika flinched, and I whispered, “Silence.”
She nodded assent.
"You may use my gift, little majo. Pay me my daily due until I require you."
The ginkgo spirits sounded their gongs, and the shrine faded away in a fog. When it lifted, we were back at the empty grove. After what we had been through, the lonely forest with its #concert of autumn cicadas was welcome.
“What just happened?” Sumika asked.
“I’ll explain at the car. And you, ‘little witch,’ have much to explain.”

#Wss366 helm #MastoPrompt Unabashed #TimeTravelAuthors Whatever #EdoSumika’s fingers touched Arakawa's. It was the slow motion of someone half-asleep. Arakawa-sama, Owl-sama, had ensorcelled her.
In a moment of insanity, I plunged my beak into Sumika’s neck, screaming:
Grain in hand
Snare in the other
A gilded bridleSumika’s hand jerked back as red and indigo sparks spat from the sacred #helm. Arakawa-sama’s leveled his fan at me, snapping it open. But something stayed his wrath, and he finished my renga instead:
Crow at dawn
The rooster struts
Stew pot awaitsI didn’t need to analyze that verse. The threat was clear.
An unsustainable silence of suspense fell. #Unabashed, I stared back at his blazing eyes.
I wondered, though, why I wasn’t feathers scattered on the shrine’s floor.

#Wss366 gauntlet #MastoPrompt Disposable #TimeTravelAuthors Whatever #EdoHe bowed with formal grace, though not as deeply as Sumika. “Welcome, I’m Arakawa Dōken.” He stopped and studied my mistress, who remained silent, bowed at a ninety-degree angle.
“I-I-I…” She finally responded, but couldn’t get anything further out.
“And you were one who wore bells at your waist and spoke the names of spirits without bowing,” the spirit said.
He paused again, waiting. But when there was only silence, he resumed. “Now you are soft, tainted with foreign magic. Still, you are the tool that is handy—you may rise samayō miko. Let me have your name.” Despite the disrespect embodied in his words, his tone was hypnotic.
Sumika straightened, and I struggled again not to topple over. Otherwise, I would have warned her not to give her name. Names have power.
“Yeung Su-sumika.”
That was an odd combination, but it explained why she used her given name. It can be quite the #gauntlet surviving in a Japanese school with a Chinese surname.
“Yeung-san, I see you bear my gift,” Arakawa-sama said.
“Gift?” Sumika said, swaying. Her voice fluttered.
“Not good,” I thought. “He is a hawk, and she is a dove.”
“The book. The book you gave me in times gone by, I have returned it to you.”
“What book?” I asked myself. I would have to ask about that later.
Arakawa continued. His voice was soothing. Not a hawk but a serpent weaving its hypnotic spell.
Lo, seeker
Mountain sought
Before you the pathHe paused, waiting for an answer. When none came, he recited his own response to the #renga.
Owl call
Stem the tides
Stones smoothThe word "owl" hit me like an arrow, breaking the spell Arakawa-sama had woven, leaving me itching as if I had fleas.
Having escaped the weave of his voice, I thought about what he was saying. It’s an offer. The upper verse says my mistress had found what she sought, and the lower verse offers to change what has passed. How fitting that Arakawa-sama calls himself “owl,” a hunter in the night, and robber of nests in the dark. The tides he wishes to stem are those that have caught him up; those of a forgotten #disposable kami, not Sumika’s.
“Come, bind yourself to me.” He had now switched to prose. “Remember, Ban Zhao says, ‘Let a woman modestly yield to others.’ Yet, I will deliver all you dream of.”
“Pig,” I almost blurted out.
Then he returned to verse.
Twaining weed
Moon and Hawk fly
Wild herb openHe held out his hand, and Sumika reached for it.

#Wss366 threshold / Equinox #TimeTravelAuthors #Whatever #EdoEraIt was too late to turn back. Behind us, the trail no longer looked the same. We had crossed a #threshold into the Shadow Land, Kakuriyo.
The monks beckoned us forward. “Bake ichō no sei,” I cooed to Sumika. “Ginkgo kodama, spirits of the ginkgo trees.”
Sumika prepared to visit the shrine by washing her mouth and hands in the mountain spring. I hopped down. The darting of little fish fascinated me for a moment. Then I washed. The drops of water were cool on my back, but not unpleasant.
Cleansed, Sumika clapped and rang the bell, accompanied by the monk’s gongs.
Light gathered over the kabuto, folding inward until it took the shape of a young man, straight-backed, hawk-faced, as composed as Lord Confucius. His austere dark robes were bound with a simple corded sash. Indigo light seeped along the cord binding the ledger tucked under his arm. In his other hand, he held a closed black lacquer fan. Energy gathered there as well. A small handscroll rested at his waist, secured as neatly as a blade.
My first instinct was to fly to a safer distance. His stillness wasn’t of calm, but of judgment. He hadn’t been a man who scattered peanuts for idle birds. This had been a person who counted to the last grain of rice.
“Minor samurai, administrator, Confucian scholar,” I cooed to Sumika. She would owe so me many peanuts!
“Ack!” Sumika made a deep ninety-degree bow, taking me completely by surprise.

#ScribesAndMakers If your creative work could speak, what would it say about you?
And what's this with the poetry in your stories? It started as quoted song lyrics, and now there are whole chapters where characters exchange renga and kkatauta. Yes, I know the #Heian and #Edo periods, and the narrator explains it, but do you think readers want this level of realism?
