The last speculative fiction anthology I read was "Dangerous Visions" edited by Harlan Ellison. That's a classic in the genre.

Interesting sounding book. Yes, history shapes people's minds. There's no escaping it. But I wonder if it is going to be another "feudalism caused this or that" discussion. Because then you'd have to look at other formally feudalistic societies, like Britain.

Classic photo. Should get a Pulitzer prize. It kind of sums up the "ganbaru" spirit in Japan after the quake. Business as usual even in the worst of circumstances.

I liked Edano when he was wearing his gas station attendant jacket. Somehow the suit and necktie he changed to afterwards lacks the required gravitas in his case.

Life is short. Enjoy it while you can. That's the lesson of the quake and the sakura themselves.

I like the new blue-green tarps. The old blue ones they used to have were an eye sore.

The new design looks exactly like the old one, except there's a huge office building behind it. I could be wrong but from this artist's depiction it certainly seems that way.

Not sure about that translation. Maybe "I want to put on a smile on everyone's face." Thank you Osaka. Always there to cheer the nation up.
Moderator: Yes, that is a more accurate translation and the caption now says that.

An incredible survival story. The house floating out there on the ocean was his Noah's Ark.

You people assume too much. As somebody said before, what probably happened was that the guys did start to sit seiza and then the Emperor said, "Relax, gentlemen. No need to make a fuss. As you were." So what do you? Go against the orders of your Emperor?

I love this photo. Egalitarian royalty at their finest. We are all human beings. Still, I'm sure the young lads got a burst of genki from the meeting.

Sounds kind of good. I can imagine a long line of Japanese salarymen lining up for it: NOT.

Yeah, they could at least have also played up the fact that the memorable score to "You Only Live Twice" by composed by John Barry, who passed away just a few days ago. Maybe there is some strange cosmic connection. Or maybe not.
