As the central figure of the Shinto religion, the heaven-shining Amaterasu is the ancestress by of the imperial family of Japan, she has always been an important Kami in the Japanese spiritual life. Amaterasu is a glorious goddess and the personification of the rising sun, the queen of Shinto divinities. based on Japanese mythology, the sun represents order and purity, two important concepts in Shintoism. Amaterasu symbolizes not just order but the justice that maintains it as well. The sun goddess is often depicted as a beautiful woman holding a mirror, the raven Yata Garasu is believed to be the messenger of the goddess. The name Amaterasu comes from the verb Amateru which can be translated as to shine from heaven, and this is the shorthand for Amaterasu ōmikami.

Welcome back, this week listen as Erin and Meghan breakdown S3B E5 Silverfinger. In this episode we discuss, how Scott puts his trust in Allison, Isaac, and Argent to find out.

Stiles tries to share some hard evidence that he might have something to do with Barrow, but when the evidence he found is wiped clean he is at his breaking point, and when he wakes up alone in the hospital and is approached by these ninjas something switches and we are left wondering if Stiles was actually onto something. -Music: Climb by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com-Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thenemetontwpod/Email- thenemetontw@gmail.com

Reframing Disability in Manga (University of Hawaii Press, 2020) analyzes popular Japanese manga published from the 1990s to the present that portray the everyday lives of adults and children with disabilities in an ableist society. It focuses on five representative conditions currently classified as shōgai (disabilities) in Japan―deafness, blindness, paraplegia, autism, and gender identity disorder―and explores the complexities and sociocultural issues surrounding each. Author Yoshiko Okuyama begins by looking at preindustrial understandings of difference in Japanese myths and legends before moving on to an overview of contemporary representations of disability in popular culture, uncovering socio-historical attitudes toward the physically, neurologically, or intellectually marked Other. She critiques how characters with disabilities have been represented in mass media, which has reinforced ableism in society and negatively influenced our understanding of human diversity in the past. Okuyama then presents fifteen case studies, each centered on a manga or manga series, that showcase how careful depictions of such characters as differently abled, rather than disabled or impaired, can influence cultural constructions of shōgai and promote social change. Informed by numerous interviews with manga authors and disability activists, Okuyama reveals positive messages of diversity embedded in manga and argues that greater awareness of disability in Japan in the last two decades is due in part to the popularity of these works, the accessibility of the medium, and the authentic stories they tell. Scholars and students in disability studies will find this book an invaluable resource as well as those with interests in Japanese cultural and media studies in general and manga and queer narrative and anti-normative discourse in Japan in particular. Yoshiko Okuyama is Professor of Japanese studies at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo, USA. Her recent publications include Japanese Mythology in Film: A Semiotic Approach to Reading Japanese Film and Anime (2015) and Reframing Disability in Manga (2020). Shu Wan is currently matriculated as a doctoral student in history at the University at Buffalo.

Reframing Disability in Manga (University of Hawaii Press, 2020) analyzes popular Japanese manga published from the 1990s to the present that portray the everyday lives of adults and children with disabilities in an ableist society. It focuses on five representative conditions currently classified as shōgai (disabilities) in Japan―deafness, blindness, paraplegia, autism, and gender identity disorder―and explores the complexities and sociocultural issues surrounding each. Author Yoshiko Okuyama begins by looking at preindustrial understandings of difference in Japanese myths and legends before moving on to an overview of contemporary representations of disability in popular culture, uncovering socio-historical attitudes toward the physically, neurologically, or intellectually marked Other. She critiques how characters with disabilities have been represented in mass media, which has reinforced ableism in society and negatively influenced our understanding of human diversity in the past. Okuyama then presents fifteen case studies, each centered on a manga or manga series, that showcase how careful depictions of such characters as differently abled, rather than disabled or impaired, can influence cultural constructions of shōgai and promote social change. Informed by numerous interviews with manga authors and disability activists, Okuyama reveals positive messages of diversity embedded in manga and argues that greater awareness of disability in Japan in the last two decades is due in part to the popularity of these works, the accessibility of the medium, and the authentic stories they tell.

IntroductionThe three-legged crow is a symbol of Chinese culture and mythology. It is also mentioned in various myths and is often depicted in ancient Chinese art. The sun is represented by the sanzuwu disc. This ornament is used in ancient China to make formal imperial garments.The most popular depiction of a sanzuwu is a sun-bird called the Yangwu or the Jinwu. Although it is referred to as a raven or a crow, it is usually coloured red instead of black. In some excavations it is also depicted as a golden crow.Another popular depiction shows the Queen Mother of the West being surrounded by a trio of dragons, a fox, and a male attendant. She is also surrounded by a leaping frog and a three-legged crow.Powers and AbilitiesThe three-legged crow was believed to be the one who draws the Sun out from the clouds. It was said that the sun would be drawn out by the ten sun crows, who would each carry a responsibility to fly out and create a path for the other. The crow's favourite food consisted of two types of grass only found on earth, thus some of the crows would fly down and eat them, distorting the flight pattern of the sun.FamilyThe mother of the ten crows, Xihe, did not like how her children kept distorting the path of the sun. She had blinded them so that they could not fly down and eat their grass. One day, all of them decided to fly out and cause the world to burn. Another god named Houyi, a celestial archer shot down all but one of the crows, thus the world was left with one three legged crow.Other NamesSanzuwu is also known as Yatagarasu in Japanese Mythology and Samjok-o in Korean Mythology.Modern Day InfluenceThe Sanzuwu is quite popular in modern symbolism with artists, brands and football clubs adopting the insignia.

Welcome Back to class friendos! This week we take on a super special topic, Japanese Mythology and its integration into the Naruto franchise! We used quite a few sources for the Shinto Pantheon and mythological stories but the most heavily used are Mythology Podcast by Parcast and Kojiki ( a Japanese anthology of Oral tradition from ~712AD). We explored the Shinto creation story and the creation of the Japanese Pantheon. We drew some comparisons to other well know mythological stories and obviously helped to explain some of the interesting decisions Kishimoto made for the Naruto franchise. I think this was my favorite episode we've recorded and I hope y'all like it as well! You don't even need to be a huge Naruto fan to respect the authors' attention to detail on Mythology and hey it never hurts to learn a little about what shaped Japan's ideologies and social fabric! - Professor Ethan Please make sure to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, reviews really help all your favorite shows grow!SocialsFollow us on instagram for mid week updates and awesome Anime Memes!https://www.instagram.com/weebology.podcast/Hit up the Twitter!https://twitter.com/WeebologyPCheck out our Youtube Channel for additional anime content or video podcasts episodes!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVJBllbgYsuTrrG5IssngOgContact us with any questions, comments, or requests for anime to hear us wax philosophic about! weebologypodcast@gmail.comIntro / Outro Song Our theme song is:Dreams By Dj Quads https://youtu.be/iiRCmcP_jlcArtist SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quadsMusic Promoted by https://goo.gl/5NfMV4Please check out his music and support this awesome artist!
