@GavinVerhey In terms of art styles: Risograph, woodblock print, linocut, mezzotint, lithograph, etc.

Twitter seems to be faling apart and I don't know if anyone is still following me, but well: I wrote another book review (first one since 2021, lol). Check it out if horror short stories with a dash of humour sounds like your thing:

New blog update! This time, I tried something different and wrote about a museum I visited recently. May be the first in a category of posts about places related to books and literature in Japan.

@wesinjapan ok, upon closer inspection she doesn't really look scared, but I'd still expect a "reunion moment" to have a different atmosphere

[moyashi @mys204]

@wesinjapan Doesn't really explain why she looks scared if she already knows Totoro though.

@mautnorton99 Even well-educated people do this and sometimes it drives me crazy. Can't read a book by a Japanese author about design or some such topic without """unique Japanese sensibilities""" being a major point somewhere.

@JasmineChuah4 It was a nice surprise!

[moyashi @mys204]

After a semi-long hiatus, I'm updating my blog again! There are a lot of books in my review backlog. The first one is one of last year's Akutagawa prize winners, written by 21yo Usami Rin. It surpassed my expectations!

@Sutekh94 @RosewattaStone What would I do in combat without access to my customizable interlinear vocabulary? I don't even want to think about it!

@Andrew_Levidis "World of Elegance"?
"World of Splendor?"

[moyashi @mys204]

Encountered it in the expression 顰蹙を買う ("buying wrinkled eyebrows") = arouse suspicion

[moyashi @mys204]

Japanese word of the day: 顰蹙 (ひんしゅく) - "wrinkling one's eyebrows" (in suspicion or disgust)

[moyashi @mys204]

@maximillianaire @dwvcd @GodanoMarco I'm going to use this

Finished 鹿の王 (1). It was enjoyable, but didn't particularly grip me. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for fantasy rn. Still thinking about reading part 2 because I heard it was originally planned to be a 2-parter...

[moyashi @mys204]

@GuyWhoWroteThis @RosewattaStone I don't know exactly what they are, but I'd like Omni Cats to be a thing.

[moyashi @mys204]

@JasmineChuah4 I've only read two books of hers so far, so I can't say for sure. Going to ready 守り人 some day. Its anime adaption is pretty well-regarded!

[moyashi @mys204]

Started 鹿の王. For some reason I can't help but visualize the characters and setting in Studio Ghibli style...

[moyashi @mys204]

@yun_dks 夏つぽい本ですね。(^^)『スロウハイツ』を読み終えたばかりなんですが、雰囲気が気に入っていました。こちらも同じような感じですか？

The people at the teishoku restaurant near my workplace have started recognizing me. So this is what it feels like to be a 常連 ...

[moyashi @mys204]

@BookJapanese I hope you like it! For me, it was right in the "strike zone."

[moyashi @mys204]

Next book review is up: An everyday fantasy / magical realism slice of life novel set in early 20th century Kyoto. My favourite of 2021 so far!
