Today I decided to dress and pose as a famous painting: 見返り美人図 otherwise known as Beauty Looking Back.
This painting was a singular stand alone piece made by Hishikawa Moronobu who is mostly known for his innovative ways regarding the method of coloring for ukiyo-e woodblock. This method was very influential due to how my house simply only had black print before then.
To showcase the painting’s popularity even more so, the “Beauty Looking Back” painting was adopted as the pattern for the first Japanese postage stamp after WW2 in 1948.
Oh hi Japan how are you doing? What do you think of going to my farm this weekend? You can bring your dog

Greetings. I am doing very well, thank you. I would be honored to go to your farm this weekend. Which day is most convenient for you? I’m sure Pochi-kun would utterly adore your goats.
Speaking of Christmas time, I wish to ask you a question personally if that is quite alright with you, America. Ever since 1974, KFC has become a beloved Christmas time meal for families across my island. Due to this, I was wondering if KFC is a widespread Christmas tradition for your people considering that you are the founding nation of KFC?
It's funny, kids get presents from their dads who sometimes dress up as Santa – and Finland once told me I could think of him as my papa – so if I were to think of him that way, then my dad really WOULD be Santa!
He'd be way more convincing with a beard, though. 🤔
I suppose it would be more fun and rather cool if the T-Rex were replaced by Godzilla. Perhaps I can reenact this with one of the replicas at my place…
I just wanted to let everyone know I had a super epic dream where I rode a T-rex!!!
Well, sorta...I think I might've been hanging onto the underside of its neck while trying to avoid getting eaten, but that's still a form of riding it, right? And it was really fun and cool! 😃
*sighh*
I can be your sidekick, Mr. America.
Robin is nowhere in sight. He must be...preoccupied. Maybe he fell asleep in a giant bird nest somewhere.
Are there any other sidekicks available right now? Maybe...Batgirl.
Or another Robin. There are several Robin positions open.

Mr. Jap, do you like it here on Tumblr? (^.。.^)ノ
I am rather fond of Tumblr so far actually. I enjoy interacting with others as well as viewing some art. Do you enjoy Tumblr if I may ask?
Even sea bream is not delicious when eaten in loneliness.

I'm feeling relatively good, I've been having a lot of headaches lately, but I think that's okay. I'm glad you haven't given up on blogging! ^^
I send my condolences. If you are having migraines I suggest trying to consume Coke; the caffeine is often used to relieve the pain of migraines. There is also migraine relief caps with cooling gel. I am an old man in comparison to many nations so I tend to get migraines and that is what soothes me.
As for blogging, I have not given up. Tama has just been keeping me on my feet with his constant need of tuna. Thank you for your concern.
