"From a bright houmongi into more subdued fashionable inner layer of a kasane set.
By Yonekawa Asako.

Top caption: The houmongi has faded so it has been made into the inner layer of a kasane set.

Top left:
This was so faded it was unwearable, so it has been made into an old fashioned komon inner layer. The formality of the houmongi has become irrelevant because it is now seen as unfashionable in the moonlight. But layered as kasane, this should become an intensely fashionable dounuki.

Mid left:
Please consider: earthy colours are really popular with those approaching middle age, but in any case because the design is faded, you definitely cannot wear it as an outer layer. That is to say, go ahead and put an end to your shamelessness. If you had thought about redyeing it so that the inner layer and kasane matched, what of the labour and the cost of the dye? However it becomes something you can admire, when you try wearing it as an important layer.
This year’s (1933) fashion is to wear under a crested Iromuji.

From a faded black Edozuma
To an easily made, more subdued Edozuma.
By Nishizaki Miyano

Here we also intend to inform everyone of the until now long awaited way to restore your old, splendid looking edozuma.
If you didn't know, without troubles you can make plenty of tasteful Edozuma, as we explain here.
So many years seem to have passed since it became faded so you couldn’t wear it. Firstly, the first step is to work persistently and without giving up to dye it as a black iromuji. As you do that, be careful to dilute it and avoid the cloud shapes.
Then paint the Hiougi (formal cypress folding fan) in gold and silver. You can try wearing a very wonderful, tasteful Edozuma like this.

You’ve realised, after some years, that the gold and silver have worn away and at length there is no trace of it. If this is the case, it can be embroidered. At last, the gold and silver seems to be saved, this time following the design embroider with gold and silver thread. Thus, the third step makes it increasingly a sufficiently tasteful Edozuma, which can already be worn continuously.
Please, use your own ideas to devise something good.

Caption: Secondly, a tastefully restored Edozuma. "

St James Park from N. 1st Street in San Jose. A lone elm tree remains as one of the few original American elm trees planted in the early years of the park, about 1868. The orange truck in the background sits in the vicinity of another elm tree used to lynch Jack Holmes in November 1933 for the kidnapping and murder of Brooke Hart. That elm (the one used for the lynching) was cut down shortly after the notorious event. On the day I took this photo, a crew was cutting up the remains of another older elm tree that had recently fallen. Maybe the City should pay for a tree surgeon to save what's left.

In this magisterial narrative, Zara Steiner traces the twisted road to war that began with Hitler's assumption of power in Germany. Covering a wide geographical canvas, from America to the Far East, Steiner provides an indispensable reassessment of the most disputed events of these tumultuous years.

Steiner underlines the far-reaching consequences of the Great Depression, which shifted the initiative in international affairs from those who upheld the status quo to those who were intent on destroying it. In Europe, the l930s were Hitler's years. He moved the major chess pieces on the board, forcing the others to respond. From the start, Steiner argues, he intended war, and he repeatedly gambled on Germany's future to acquire the necessary resources to fulfil his continental ambitions.
Only war could have stopped him-an unwelcome message for most of Europe. Misperception, miscomprehension, and misjudgment on the part of the other Great Powers leaders opened the way for Hitler's repeated diplomatic successes.

It is ideology that distinguished the Hitler era from previous struggles for the mastery of Europe. Ideological presumptions created false images and raised barriers to understanding that even good intelligence could not penetrate. Only when the leaders of Britain and France realized the scale of Hitler's ambition, and the challenge Germany posed to their Great Power status, did they finally declare war.
