jttw ramble: day two

I have my human design of WuKong right?

I love to make it so that when he’s mad or drunk, his lambchops turn into an actual monkey mane. Bc it’s silly. Oh and he hates hair dryers because it curls the fuck out of his hair, and sanzang always wants to comb it out.

A seminal map of extreme significance. This is the first Japanese printed map to depict the world, including Europe and America, from a Buddhist cosmographical perspective. Printed by woodblock in 1710 (Hoei 7), this map was composed by the Buddhist monk Rokashi Hotan. Inspired by the 1653 publication of Si-yu-ki, a pilgrimage narrative of the Chinese monk Hsuang-Tsang's (602-604) travels to India in search of sacred Sanskrit writings, Rokashi Hotan's map attempts to update Buddhist mythological cartography, as exemplified in the 1634 manuscript map Gotenjikuzu (Map of the Five Regions of India), to correspond with the Si-yu-ki, as well as with contemporary and ancient religious texts, Chinese annals, travel narratives, and even some European maps. Rokashi Hotan lists these texts, 102 in all, at the top of the map. The consequent product of Rokashi Hotan's work is this magnificent amalgam of disparate ideas and traditions. https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/nansenbushu2-rokashihotan-1710. #geographicus #raremap #raremaps #antiquemap #antiquemaps #japanesemaps #buddhism #tangseng (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps)
