(The exception to this is Qin Shihuang, who felt that this sort of posthumous commentary was ridiculous, “ministers judging their sovereigns and sons judging their fathers” instead of the other way around. Thus he declared that it would be much more proper and straightforward to call him the First Emperor. Then his heir would be the Second Emperor, the one after that the Third Emperor, and so on until the Ten Thousandth Emperor. But this system was abandoned after the Qin dynasty fell.)

The coins are the Five Emperor Brass Coins, which suppose to ward off evils, protect the families and absorb wealth.

Would you like to see me test stuff like this in armour (Including the pole)? Or learn how it was made and fitted? Please help fund the Bluminarmour project if you can!

There is this picture and I'm quite sure on the left it's a Maiko. The photo is probably from the earliest years of the Taishô era. Overall style of dress and photography looks like "Meiji" to me, but the caption says the lady on the left was named Rôra ローラ and came from Russia to work in Yûzawa in the Taishô era. It's not a good picture, but the only pre-2015 Yuzawa Maiko I can offer. Back then, there was less uniformity in Maiko looks, but let's say she represents the typical prewar Yuzawa Maiko. Hairstyle: Shimada, likely Yakko Shimada. Kimono: Furisode without shoulder tucks. (Hikizuri are draped differently on the floor, you'd see a lot more fabric) Obi: could be Otaiko Musubi, which was not restricted be worn by to Geiko/Geisha

just thinking it'd be fun as an in-game POV.

I am tired of this! Or am I just tired?
