Prime Minister Ishiba closed his Hiroshima memorial speech by quoting a poem by Shoda Shinoe. It was published in 1947, in defiance of US Occupation authorities, who banned such poems.
At the time Shoda believed her act could have resulted in imprisonment or the death penalty.

On of the best Japan related jokes of all time, nearly impossible to top.
To create the linear patterns visible on this bowl the potter quickly carved the design into the dark clay body. He then applied white clay slip with a brush over this general area. After the slip settled into the linear grooves, he wiped the surface excess away (although he "missed" an area near the parallel horizontal neck bands), leaving a whitish line. A greenish celadon glaze was then applied over the bowl. Punch'ong decorative techniques were a response to medieval Korean society's need for greater numbers of attractive, inexpensive housewares.
