  1. Thank you for the historical context, that's great to know. Hehe, I remember 'Shogun' with Richard Chamberlain, it was one of the reasons that I became fascinated by Japan as a child. How wonderful that you met Shimada Yoko. It is now my second reason for wanting to find out more about Japan, the first of course being Yuzu. There is a paving stone in one of the pathways at the Zuihoden shrine, Sendai, which is shaped like a skating boot. Many fans post pictures of this when they visit the shrine. Maybe skating was something Yuzu was always destined to do. A laminated photo of the pathway has the skate boot stone circled in red, so fans can identify the stone easily
  2. Celebrating Yuzu and the gift of GIFT and all of the stupendous programmes
  3. Maybe you were just focussed on Date Masamune because of Neko Masamune and also visiting the shrine in Sendai which is dedicated to Masamune the first lord of Sendai with all of the dragon statues. Date was the clan name for the lords or Daimyo of the region around Sendai. Not sure if the historical clan territory equates exactly with modern regional or prefectural boundaries. Maybe someone can enlighten us on this. Similar to the ancient Kingdom of Mercia from Anglo Saxon history does not have a modern day location. When you saw the film 'The Magnificent Nine' were English sub titles available ? I have only seen the Yuzu clips and the making of footage with Yuzu. Yuzu twirling and laughing being most notable behind the scenes footage.
  4. In the cast bio on ImDB, the photo image used for Yuzu is from PC Olys with the Gold Medal Yuzu plays the character of Date Shigemura
  5. Hope that you and other Japanese satellites are safe. Sending well wishes to give you courage and strength
  6. Posted 2 hours ago Daily Spread Eagle Old Man Pooh san Returns to Planet Hanyu Emperor Hanyu Journeys to the Northern City to Reunite with Prime Minister Pooh Towards the end of April, Emperor Hanyu visited one of the most esteemed nobles, the wise and munificent Duchess Tetsuko. Emperor Hanyu was a special guest at her Palace. The entire palace had been decorated with flower garlands and the Duchess had invited the Emperor to eat pudding and spend time with her. The Duchess had been present at the Gift of Castle Dome and since that time had been hoping that the Emperor would be an honoured guest in her home. The Emperor was delighted oblige and they talked about the Emperors plans for the Kingdom, reminisced about the Emperor's childhood exploits and even joked fondly about one the the Emperor's most fearsome tutors. Following this audience the Emperor travelled in secret to the Land of Ice Lakes and Snow. The Emperor had spent many years there, when he was Prince Hanyu in order to perfect the Ice Rituals and assume his role as Emperor. Emperor Hanyu had applied himself diligently and had received instruction from three of the most respected tutors. Sadly the outbreak of a deadly disease had forced the Young Emperor to flee back to Planet Hanyu and in the dreadful haste Prime Minister Pooh san had not been able to board the transport back to the Planet and the Emperor had not had time to bid a suitable farewell to his tutors. As the pandemic had finally settled to almost safe levels Emperor Hanyu made the journey back to visit his esteemed tutors to express his gratitude and reunite with Prime Minister Pooh Once the Emperor and Prime Minister Pooh were safely back at Palace Hanyu a portrait of Prime Minister Old Man Pooh san and Deputy PM YuzuPooh was displayed at the gates of Palace Hanyu. PM Pooh has commended the Deputy PM for having very ably conducted his duties and supporting Emperor Hanyu. The two Poohs are looking forward to working together.
