There was a special delivery sent to a certain Darling in Katsushika, upon opening the door and seeing the gift, Rintaro raised a brow and was going to close the door until catching sight of the white rose on top of the gift and immediately let out a groan, quickly putting two and two together. Picking up the gift, he kicked the door closed before calling out to Touya. “Oi, Touya! You got another fucking present from your weird ass boyfriend!”
Before he could say anything else, a flash of blue whizzed past him and quickly snatched the gift out of his hands. Touya hugged the gift to his chest and squealed happily, “It’s from Kai-chan~!” The serial killer sang happily as Rintaro scoffed and walked off, muttering something about “Fucking weirdos”.
Touya immediately tore into the gift, sending shreds of pink, red, and white wrapping paper everywhere and was greeted with the contents inside the box.
The first gift was a stitched up stuffed bunny
Tumblr media
The second gift was a pretty pink knife
Tumblr media
And the last gift was a small cake with a small realistic looking human heart on top
Tumblr media
‘Happy Valentine’s Day, my darling! I wish I can be with you right now but I got dumb responsibilities to take care of, I’m gonna get them done as soon as I can so we can spend the whoooooole day together! In the meantime, I hope you like my gifts! The heart isn’t real unfortunately but I thought you’d get a kick out of it. Luv you, dear!
— Kaiji 💖’
Touya squealed as he read the letter Kaiji had written. This was the first time anyone had done something for him on Valentine’s Day. Growing up, Touya had seen people celebrate the holiday when it came around. The serial killer had always felt such violent jealousy whenever he saw those couples flaunt their love in front of him. Him. The boy no one ever bothered to love for long. The boy people always used and threw away when they were done.

Touya took a deep breath just as his therapist taught him, shoving the memories back into the hellhole that was his mind. No, not today. He wasn't going to spiral like he did on past Valentine’s Days. This year was different. He had Kai-chan. He didn't see the insane “Sweetheart Killer” or the broken whore “Momo-chan”. He saw Touya and loved him despite what he saw. For that, Touya will forever love Kaiji for and he'd kill anyone the moment they tried taking him away from Kaiji.

A knock is heard on the door of the Kagawa residence. Pausing from what she was doing Ayaka stood and walked over to the door. Opening the door reveals the entirety of Death Row Block. Normally the sight of Katsushika Divison would fill many with fear but not Ayaka who was happy to see the people she considered family.
“Happy Birthday Ayaka.” Akihisa murmured.
"Aya-chan~! Happy Birthday~!" Touya loudly cheered giving Ayaka a gentle hug. 
“Happy Birthday short stuff.” Rintaro gently ruffled Ayaka’s hair. 
Letting them enter her house Ayaka noticed that each of them was carrying a gift. 
“Alright considering it's obvious what we're here for let's get to the good shit.” Rintaro teased placing his gift in Ayaka’s hands. “Hope you enjoy it, kid. I have a feeling you didn't have one of these as a kid.” Rintaro’s usual fierce expression softened to something kinder. 
Tumblr media
Opening the gift reveals a white teddy bear with a pale gold ribbon around its neck. Ayaka nearly teared up at the sight of the gift. 
“Nearly got kicked out the toy store getting it so you better appreciate it, ya hear.” Rintaro jokingly threatened, giving Ayaka’s hair one last ruffle.
“Oh oh me next Aya-chan~! I hope you like it~!” Touya grinned placing his gift in Ayaka’s hands. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Opening the gift reveals two gorgeous dresses one pink and one blue. Ayaka let out a gasp at the sight of the gift from the serial killer.
“I still don't know why I could've gone with my original idea.” Touya pouted. 
“Your original idea was a fucking knife from your personal collection Touya.  Do you even know where some of your knives have been?” Rintaro scolded elbowing his teammate. 
“Hisa-chan! Rin-chan is being mean to me again!”
“Oi! You little shit!”
“Touya, Rintaro please do not start a fight in Ayaka’s living room.” Akihisa scolds them. “Now then Ayaka this is my gift I do hope you enjoy it.” The ex-hitman placed his gift in Ayaka’s hands. 
Tumblr media
Opening the gift reveals a small wooden music box with pink roses on the lid. Opening it up it began to play a lovely tune and Ayaka even noticed a place to place small bits of jewelry.
“I know your nightmares keep you up at night so I hope this helps,” Akihisa explained giving the young girl a gentle hug. “Now we have a few hours before someone realizes we’re not in Katsushika anymore. I managed to get a reservation at a restaurant here in Saga. So call Megumi and Mizuki and we can all go out to dinner for your birthday.”
To say that Ayaka was happy would be an understatement.
Her literal nuclear family unit was at her door how could she NOT be happy to see them.
“I missed you guys!”
She gave each of them the biggest hug she could muster before leading them inside.
Rintaro really was right about the teddy bear thing. She never did have one growing up! She held this one tightly- like it was going to be taken from her at any moment. She managed to not cry thankfully (but she was about to).
“He’s so soft- I think I’ll call him Mr. Fluffy!”
The four of them failed to notice two heads peaking out from behind the entrance to the kitchen. Mizuki and her partner were too busy fawning over how fucking cute this was to watch.
“These are so pretty!!” Ayaka gently ran her fingers across the fabric of the dresses “I love them thank you!”
It was Akihisa’s gift that made her begin to tear up even more. The beautiful melody was almost hypnotic part of her felt at ease when she heard it. He was right- her nightmares did keep her up quite a bit…and while her body still aches from the memories of her surgeries…today she didn’t hurt as much.
“You guys- thank you so much for the wonderful gifts” she smiled “Im going to go get changed into one of these” she holds up the dresses that Touya gave her.

MWW Artwork of the Day (3/5/23) Katsushika Ôi (Japanese, c. 1800–c. 1866) Detail: Three Women Playing Musical Instruments (c. 1825-45) Hanging scroll; ink & color on silk The Boston Museum of Fine Arts
Like many of the women who became artists in both Europe and Japan, Katsushika Ôi was born into an "artist family," in her case a most distinguished one, her father being the great ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760—1849), for whom she worked as a production assistant before becoming an accomplished painter in her own right.  "Three Women Playing Musical Instruments" is a fine example of Oi’s expert “paintings of beautiful women”. The three woman have been identified as a young courtesan (furisode shinzô) playing the koto, a geisha playing the shamisen, and a townswoman playing the kokyû. Each clearly distinguishable by their clothing, they flow together in a sensuous ecstasy of music. Not one to be bound by artistic norms, Oi has presented one of the central figures of the composition with her back turned to the viewer, a very unusual artistic motif.  
More of this artist's work appears in this MWW gallery/album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1382292458542786&type=3

just thinking about how incredibly intellectual and scientifically minded and precise and formidable and creative women are and how much history has had to work to hide and downplay and obscure our accomplishments ... thinking about Mary Shelly (inventor of science fiction, "oh she didn't identify her work as science fiction"), Hilma af Klint (inventor of abstract art, "oh she didn't identify her work as paintings"), Jocelyn Bell (discovered pulsars, a huge astrological breakthrough, male supervisor got the Nobel for it), Colette (write of the Claudine novels, credit and copyright taken by her husband), Katsushika Oi (brilliant ukiyo-e artist, likely assisted Hokusai (the great wave guy) in a lot of his work but never got the credit) and so on and so on and so on
thinking about how much graver and harder it gets to discover this injustice in non-western countries
thinking about how the stories of these women are so incredibly crucial to be made part of common knowledge so girls like me don't grow up thinking there's something biologically deficient in us that makes us inherently inferior and less capable of greatness
thinking about how the term "genius" is mostly canonized as a male achievement and a term for the coronation of men but how so often brilliant women deserve to be called geniuses
idk just thinking about the inherent humanity of women, it's resilience and refusal to hide or bow down to society

Japanese wood blocks, An learning contrast and compostion.
Japanese woodblocks are one of the most influental art froms  from a non european origin that is acknowledged. However the artist that is recognosed the most is Katsushika Hokusai, well known for one of the most famous woodblock print, “the Wave”
Tumblr media
He is warranted the recognition, because his use of contrast and compostiton in his work is worth talking, However there are other japanese artist who deserve representation, one being Hokusai’s own daughter, Katsushika Oi. 
Katsushika Oi
alot isn’t well known, but she was born around the 1800 hundreds to Hokusais second wife, who we do not know the name of, and was brought up in hokusai’s studio where she assisted her father. She was married off later on like to a shopkeeper named Tsusumi Tomei, but she divorced him three years later and returned to her fathers shop where she became an artist in her own right. 
One of her artworks being 
“Night Scene in the Yoshiwara” a woodblock print created in 1850,
Tumblr media
Things to learn from this piece, the most obvious being the contrast used in 
The use of black and shadows in this piece is whats noticeable first in the piece. With all the people in the outside being covered in shadow, as they look into the building with the courtesans. The shadows being broken up witb the light of the laterns and the light of the shop. As well as majority of the colors being in light, bringing your attention to it. 
Tumblr media
Another way that Oi focused out sight into the building and the people around is the composition of the piece since evetyhing is off center and to the left. Creating a natural progression where we start at the top right, because the blue sign will cath out eyes and will lead us down to the shadows of the bars on the bottom of left, Then all the people outside theb shop looking outside are turning away from us, leading out eyesight into the building. The empty space will lead out eyes to the people and the people to the women inside. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
to implement this into art and personal work is to think of what is the main focus of the piece, such as how the building with the women are the focus of the piece. Then use things in the piece to lead viewers eyes to it. Either by having the brightest colors where the main attraction is or by having other enviormental things around it lead the eye to it. 
An activity to due, is to create artwork in black in white to help with values first, so you can start focusing on what is the main focus, 
Tumblr media
Thus piece I am working on, I wanted the women on the right to be the main focus, so I made the little girl in the picture face the woman. As well as the buildings leading towards the woman. Another thing the woman is one of the more darker object, so inverse to oi piece, I made the lighter areas of the piece  bring focus onto the woman. 
There is more to learn from these prints, follow us to keep up with more post and as well as the events that we are planning in the Denton area

A poster with a Japanese wood block painting on the left. A plain deep red panel sits at the right.
A text box sits in the middle with a black and white picture of Fukuda Hideko
The text reads
Fukuda Hideko 5th October 1865- 2nd May 1927.
Japanese feminist, socialist, author and educator. She attempted to further socialist and liberal aims. She protested the Japanese invasion of Korea.
As an educator sheand founded several schools for women and underprivileged people. She established the newspaper Sekai Fujin (women of the world), the aim of this feminist socialist newspaper was to focus on women’s issues and reform. In addition to publishing issues of domestic interest the newspaper also focused on international issues
Description of the painting.
Night Scene in Yoshiwara by Katsushika Oi
A wood block from the Edo period. The scene shows a brothel lit up at night. The women are dressed in brightly coloured kimono with elaborate hairdos.
They are sat on red mats. People on the street outside are looking inside with interest. There is a stark contrast between the light inside the brothel and dark outside on the street.
The image draws attention to the women in Japanese courtesans working in their brothel quarters but is blocked out by the poles painted in though which people on the street are trying to catch a glimpse.
