Monk.

Genbō.

Please hear me.

I am sorry,

That I have made some thirty-four of you.

Sex with Fujiwara no Miyako,

Bad idea.

Started war.
Bad move.

Dude.

I think this will be the last philosopher 34 I make for a while. I just REALLY wanted to get this last one off of my chest, because it's something I've thought about for a while, lol. Genbō was a really interesting dude. He was a contemporary of Bodisauna, and he received a murasakikesa (purple Buddhist stole) from the Tang Emperor of China himself, Xuanzong. This was a big deal. He held a lot of power in Japan for a time, but he was apparently sexually immoral, which got him in a lot of trouble, and ended with his exile to Korea, I think.

Twitter seems to like images that are 1600X900, so I for that I'll work on a canvas that's like 6,000 on the longer side. Good question, I've always just kinda stabbed in the dark about this.

Hello Mark, random question. What size canvas do you use when you draw?

Yea it's weird to think how different things would have been if they managed to stay isolated.

Yeah, it's funny how much of our lexicon comes from their language, specifically.

Someone's gonna need a doctor for that burn. Coarse it's also not the weirdest sex thing that happened in ancient Japan.

Fucking beautifully done mark; I adore your amazing poetryXD

Thanks, but I think it's called a mirrored-tetractys. A regular tetractys has a syllable structure of 1,2,3,4,10. So a mirrored is 1,2,3,4,10,10,4,3,2,1.

We need a Yuffie pic for the FFVII DLC
