Nikon Coolpix L20 10MP Digital Camera with 3.6 Optical Zoom and 3 inch LCD (Deep Red)
I decided to wander into the world of digital photography. You may be surprised to hear that, but although the first digital camera prototype by Steven Sasson Prototype (with a now ludicrous 0.01MP image resolution) was completed as early as in 1975, and the first commercially available models were released at the end of the 80′, it wasn’t till March 1995—with the release of the now legendary Casio QV-10—that we’ve got an LCD view-screen which we now take for granted and consider the primary identifying feature of digital cameras.

Casio QV-10

QV-10 is Casio’s first digicam, but despite it’s shortcomings (low-resolution 250 kilopixel CCD, small internal storage, very short battery life, no flash), it became an instant hit and effectively started the golden age of digital photography. In addition to the novelty 1.8″ LCD creen, the camera presented a comparatively very low price point and a swivel lens which allowed one to shoot from strange angles or make self portraits. The latter was also an invention of Casio and appeared on several of their future cameras.

Although it was far from ideal, and couldn’t yet compete with the analogue cameras, Casio QV-10 was an important milestone in the development of digital photography introducing a competitive price and several concepts characteristic of today’s products. If you would like to know more, read a detailed review, or head over to the Casio’s official product description.


Nikon is the best.. btw ;)

When one says the word samurai, most imagine an armored man fiercely wielding a katana, and if one would to say female warrior, most would probably laugh and tell him to stop watching anime all the time. Nevertheless, women samurai, also known as onna bugeisha (女武芸者), were a small but very important representation of the Japanese upper class bushi (samurai) and some of them (e.g., Empress Jingu, Nakano Takeko, Hojo Masako or Tomoe Gozen) had a great impact on the Japanese history.

One of the most famous onna musha (female warrior, 女武者) was Tomoe Gozen (巴 御前), wife and general of Minamoto Yoshinaka of the Minamoto clan. I’ve been planning to write about her for a long time already but something always came in the way. However, this month’s Japan Blog Matsuri theme—famous Japanese people—finally incited me to drop a few words about her.

First of all, nothing describes her better than a quote from the famous The Tale of the Heike (heike monogatari), the epic account of the Genpei War (1180–1185):

Tomoe was especially beautiful, with white skin, long hair, and charming features. She was also a remarkably strong archer, and as a swordswoman she was a warrior worth a thousand, ready to confront a demon or a god, mounted or on foot. She handled unbroken horses with superb skill; she rode unscathed down perilous descents. Whenever a battle was imminent, Yoshinaka sent her out as his first captain, equipped with strong armor, an oversized sword, and a mighty bow; and she performed more deeds of valor than any of his other warriors.

After defeating the Heike, Minamoto no Yoshinaka desired to be the leader of the Minamoto clan, which in turn provoked the Battle of Awazu (February 21, 1184) against his cousin Minamoto no Yoritomo’s forces; one of the last battles of the lengthy Genpei War. Although Yoshinaka, alongside Tomoe Gozen and his milk brother Imai no Shiro Kanehira, fought bravely, they were outnumbered and lost the battle. When Yoshinaka was defeated, he told Tomoe Gozen to flee because he wanted to die with his foster brother and would be ashamed if he died with a woman.

There is a lot of discrepancy as to what followed, but whatever happened, Tomoe Gozen was remembered long after, had a great impact on much of the warrior class—interestingly enough, especially naginata schools, even though this wasn’t her weapon of choice—, appeared in numerous art plays such as Tomoe no Monogatari as well as ukiyo paintings, and continues to be featured in Japanese novels, manga, anime and movies to this day.
