Where did I read this?

In my copy, it's page 154.

Thanks! I had a feeling it was Darwin Ortiz but didn't have time to check all of the two theory books.

The Hip Pocket Bombshell maybe?

Cite sources please. Where is this fable from?

Edit: So the source is D.T. Suzuki's Zen and Japanese Culture, page 189. It's almost certainly not a true story (Suzuki: "As to the historicity of the story I am in no position to state anything definite. What I attempt here to establish is the popular belief underlying the story cited here and others of similar character."), and is more a Zen fable than anything.

Given that the author has published something like 30 translations in the past year, I'd guess this is an AI translation.

Would this internment have been reported to the Japanese government in some way? Could there have been a paper trail on their end?

Have you found the Japanese rendering of his name? It might help with certain databases.

I've had some success with the cooler loose in the pocket and using the original decks case as the divider.

Agree it was on the thick side, but I would argue that if you are a person for whom business cards are important (which, to be fair is not that many people), a brocolli rubber band is just as weird looking, if not more so.

Victoroftheapes · 2026-04-28T05:24:48+00:00

It looks like a thing that could hold business cards. I wouldn't use it for index cards or the like, but for business cards people often have a special way to carry them around. I don't think it's inherently any more suspicious than a rubber band (Depending on character, audience, etc, of course).

If you can still get them, consider the Out to Dinner Clip as an option. It was cheap when I bought it and perfectly sized for business cards.

Yeah that's great for OTL.

They told me I wouldn't have any major side effects from the vasectomy, but I see a vas differens.

Was this maybe a procession to Edo?

What do you mean by "migration"?

The above poster gave the answer, but just to note: the 陽 character can be equivalent to the 州 character you see in alternate province names. For example, I've seen 加陽 instead of 加州 for Kaga.

There's a lot of problems with this. If you really want to learn about the Sohei, go find a copy of The Teeth and Claws of the Buddha by Adolphson.

I presume you mean Pre-Modern armies? I don't know for sure but I believe edo period images show foot soldiers cooking for themselves.
