The Komuso Traveler in the Onmyodo Card Game

One of many unique Travelers that you can meet in the Onmyodo Game, the Komuso are famous Buddhist monks with musical ability! Adorned with their iconic head baskets and playing shakuhachi flutes, the Komuso maintained hidden identities and performed musical Zen Buddhist rituals of meditation.

This 'Monk of Nothingness' is a quite versatile and useful member of any traveling group in the game, with high value in most Traits.

His soothing presence alone grants an Empathy bonus to all of the other group members! If defeated, the Komuso dies, but not before passing his Grace points to the remaining group.

GAME TIP:

During the microseason of Kinsenka Saku, December 2nd through 6th, Musical Travelers such as the Komuso cannot be Attacked!

The sigh becomes a butterfly in the flower field

This is a haiku poetry written by a 17-year-old Japanese schoolgirl.

I've introduced it here because the sensibility of "a sigh becomes a butterfly" is so wonderful.

On the back of the Oi, Ocha tea bags, haiku by boys and girls from all over the country are introduced, and I look forward to reading them every time I make tea.

Green tea is one of the oldest Japanese zen traditions, originating from Eisai, a Zen monk around the 12th century. The supposedly bitter matcha green tea flavour is now mixed with sugar and milk and is popular all over the world. I regularly use "Oi, Ocha" tea bags for this time-honoured green tea, which is super easy and tasty.

"ため息は、蝶になりけり、花畑"

これは日本の17歳の女子高生が作った俳句。「ため息が蝶になる」という感性がとても素晴らしいので、ご紹介した。

「お〜い、お茶」のティーバッグの裏には、全国の少年少女たちの俳句が紹介されている（以前は大人バージョンだったような）毎回、お茶を入れる度に楽しみに読んでいる。

緑茶は、12世紀ごろの禅僧、栄西由来の日本古来の伝統の一つ。苦ーいはずの抹茶味は、砂糖とミルクを混ぜ、現在では世界中で人気の味となっている。その由緒正しい緑茶を、私は超簡単で美味な「お〜い、お茶」のティーバッグを常用して飲んでいる。

絵画で言えば、気の遠くなるようなルネサンスのテンペラ技法から、油で描けるが乾くのに時間がかかり面倒な油絵具へ、そして乾きが早く水で洗えるアクリル絵具に進化し、今やAIアプリを使えば、手を汚す必要すらない…みたいなものだ。

dude I was looking through clips for a reference image and it literally makes me sick with anger that Genndy chose to portray Africa like That. Literally racist caricatures like come onnnn man. The worst part is that I really want to LIKE that episode aside from the art direction. His mentor is a very sweet guy and I like Jack’s little rivalry with the other kid. I dislike that Jack has to save everyone and the other tribe is portrayed even worse, but at least Jack isn’t fighting by his fucking self the whole scene. there was so much potential in this episode if Genndy hadn’t been so fucking racist with his character designs. I do not fucking understand why he chose to make them absolutely pitch black in color. That’s not what humans look like. It’s like how he colors Jack straight up yellow sometimes. I know during the time this came out it was not very likely for bigotry to get called out but that had to have made some people uncomfortable. Jeeeeesus Christ. The guy portrayed China more respectfully than he portrayed literally any other culture including Japan lmao. Actually I take that back he gave quite a few Chinese characters racist accents. The man wanted a ‘multiethnic’ feel to his show but could not fucking stop being white and racist for it

#samurai jack #I HAAAAATE ITTTT #I love the character of the African Chief I just can’t stand his fucking character design. you didn’t deserve that king #I say he didn’t portray Japan well bc he barely even did. it was like some hand wavey Vibe of Japan and nothing concrete #he at least bothered to portray Shaolin monks without just making them aggressively Chinese #Genndy straight up knew more abt China than he did Japan bc there are SO many times #where what Genndy thinks is a Japanese culture thing is more just him considering all East Asians the same #listen I love samurai jack but I think it got away with this a little too easily. I think Genndy should get some flak for that #that whole ‘great ancestors’ prayer is cool and all but Jack wouldn’t be praying to them like in fucking Mulan. that’s not his religion.#in Japanese culture you can and do pray to your ancestors but not like. in the middle of nowhere in battle?#it made for a cool moment to show Jack wasnt abandoned by his culture but it was. not even a little accurate LOL #I GGUESS the argument could be made Jack was just sending a little prayer up but it still felt. off #not even people in China prayed like that to nebulous ancestors in the sky LOL #it’s just kind of an orientalist thing. idk maybe Genndy pulled the idea from somewhere like most of his Jack scenes but #it’s not Japanese in nature LOL #I can see it coming from a Conan scene. a goood chunk of Jack was inspired by Conan #anyway. the most accurate fucking Japanese culture scene was when the Jack robot was praying to what he could scrounge up as a small shrine #and it WASNT EVEN REAL JACK.

Brushed by Ryokan, a wandering zen monk, who slept with a stone for a pillow, wore a torn robe, and carried only a begging bowl, but was renowned as one of the greatest calligraphers who ever lived.

"How's it feel to stand at the height of your powers to captivate every heart?"

Finished this character piece finally! Based on lyrics from Japanese Breakfast's song Paprika. It depicts Kumiko, a half-dragon demigod, overlooking her temple with her father Amane-Ryu guiding her!

AAAAAAAAASHHHJHHNJVFFFDHF

IT CAME AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND LOOK AT IT AAAA ITS THE BOI

So happy with how this came out god, its such a treat for my eyes seeing the Famicom box art back in high quality and in such a beautiful package. It's not perfect but goddamn I don't care I love everything here so much and there's still a lot of fun little details that just make me screm :'D

Crazy to think it took decades to get here, through years of pc emulation and third party repros, by word of mouth and passion from fans and developers alike..... for a while I was sure it would be forgotten eventually.

But we made it. It feels unreal but Gimmick finally has official, physical release again and that's so fucking awesome :')
