🇮🇪🇯🇵 This dude's Irish accent through his Japanese is hilarious. Irish immigrant chef rebuilt his restaurant in rural Japan and enjoys spreading his culture and cuisine to the Japanese.

In Japan during the Sengoku period, there were samurai who equipped their horses with armour and served as heavy cavalry.
They bear a striking resemblance to cataphracts, though it is a pity that they are not very well known.

Today on the blog, I continue the propaganda push behind The Carolingian South (now out with @ManchesterUP) by talking about the reasons we put it together and what we’d like it to do. Featuring last minute desperate conference shenanigans! #medieval (Link below)

■唐突に北条早雲「国主にとって民は我が子であり」‼️🙏🏯

小田原北条氏（後北条氏）の初代・北条早雲（ほうじょうそううん）/（伊勢宗瑞）は一般的だった重い税金（収穫の5〜6割）を4割に減らす「四公六民（よんこうろくみん）」という減税政策等を行いました。

【北条早雲公の政策内容】

●四公六民の実施●

収穫の4割を税金とし、6割を農民のものとしました。

他国よりも圧倒的に税率が低かったため、苦しい生活をしていた農民や武士から強く支持されました。

●正確な測量と検地●

土地の広さを正しく調べ、不正のない公平な税の仕組みを作りました。

●独自の福祉と救済●

税を安くするだけでなく、蓄えていたお金を貧しい人々に低利子で貸し出したり、疫病の際には薬を取り寄せて治療を行ったりするなどの善政を行いました。

※早雲のこのような「民衆第一」のやさしい政治は、のちの北条五代（約100年）にわたる関東支配の強い土台となったのでした。

❤️🏯✨🇯🇵✨

Une intervention un peu particulière pour la police de Kanazawa 🦆
Une famille de canards a été repérée dans un parterre de fleurs du commissariat de Kanazawa Est.
Les policiers ont guidé la mère et ses petits jusqu'à un canal voisin 🐤🐤🐤 #Japon

역사적 기록과 고고학적 발굴 성과를 바탕으로 재현한 아시아 훈족(Late Period Proto-Turk기원전 2세기부터 기원후 1세기경🇹🇷)의 중장갑 기병 모습입니다.

유전적 데이터를 함께 고려할 때, 아시아 훈족 전사는 대략 이러한 외양을 지녔던 것으로 보입니다.
