Chirin no Suzu

Chirin’s Bell (Ringing Bell) by Yanase Takashi

This post is very image-heavy.

After 100000 years, I’m finally done translating this book. 

A quote mentioned by Kaneki during Arima’s death and the quote used for that one illustration of Arima, which you can view here, is from the book version and the line wasn’t really in the movie. There are also a couple of differences between the book and movie which you’ll notice as you go along the story.

This is a children’s book btw. Trust me, it is.

I will not be putting the full images here for certain reasons but if you want to purchase the book, you can do so here. 

Keep reading

Design needs to move away from minimalism.

Such an empty style of creation. Objects in the past had so much meaning imbedded within them. Bowls adorned with symbolism to remind users of something pertaining to the object’s purpose, jewelry that imbued virtues of gods, furniture that held the souls of the ancestors. These objects weren’t empty vessels of consumption, they were filled to the brim with meaning. What happened to the objects that helped every action become ritual.

With all the tools available for creation you would think objects would become more complex on meaning. There isn’t really much excuse to continue on with this minimal aesthetic. It’s origin was found in manufacturability. The good object was the object that could be mass produced. The mass produced object had to be simple, no over hangs, fast to produce, huge turnover.

Sadly we fell in love with simple and empty. With all the manufacturing techniques and technology we have now, you would think people would wake up from the minimalist dream. Instead we have objects that are complicated for no other reason than pure visual flair. Just aesthetics.

In the pursuit of interesting aesthetics there are often call backs to the past. Empty objects wearing the skin of their ancestors. These objects call back to the visual aesthetic of what meaning used to look like but are void of everything that made the visual aesthetic mean anything. What happened to meaning? And where is it found now that the main producer of meaning, religion, has become overshadowed by the need to consume things just for the sake of it?

As a thing maker, I’m going to start putting meaning into the objects that I make. I have an idea for how I can use photography, drawing and texture mapping in 3D software to create embellishments on the objects I make for 3D printing. I just need to teach myself a bunch of auxiliary shit first. I want my things to remind me of virtues of humanity when I use them. I want my jewelry to remind me of love, god, and maternal aspects. I want my pens to remind me of creativity, honesty, and permanence. I want my computer to remind me of community, humanity, and hope.

I think we all need reminders more than anything right now
