So we stopped at this really cool tea place and they had a whole wall full of bags of tea leaves from all over the world and that alone was super cool to see but for every bag of every type of tea there was a large bag at 14$ (varied based on rarity, location, etc) and a much smaller, sample bag for only 3$. I managed to find green tea from Japan, and i had some as soon as we got back.
This tea had a flavor you don't expect from tea. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, but when you brew a cup of tea, i'm fairly sure you're expecting tea-flavored water and not water that tastes almost like chicken broth
#this tea came from the Kagoshima prefecture and is called Gyokuro according to the label on the bag#we did get 2 other sample bags#bf chose 'king of silver needles' which is a white tea from china#SIDE NOTE 'white' tea isn't a joke it tastes like tea but looks like hot water. granted it took 10 mins to brew lol#and the other one was called purple rain. had lemongrass and apple shavings and some other stuff#but bf has the other 2 bags and i cant fully remember what was on the labels#also abt this tea place is that you get sat down like a restaurant it's not like a coffee shop. they have a whole ass menu

5: Everyone who put on their number bib
6: The line calls everyone to a new path
Pag 2 / 3
1: No2, Onoda Sakamichi's last Inter High!!
Pag 4
1: “Kyushu” was once divided into nine countries, and that's why it has that name*
(NdT.: The “kyuu” in Kyushu means nine)
(Currently is divided in seven prefectures: Fukuoka, Ooita, Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Miyazaki, Kagoshima)
2: It has a lot of active volcanoes, and people coexist with the harshness of nature while enjoying hot springs, geothermy, and tourism
3: Trade with the continent has been active since ancient times
4: Formerly, the distribution of goods by ships, which was the mainstream
5: Passed through the Kanmon Straits, separating Honshu and Kyushu
6: And transported to Osaka, Edo, the Japanese cities by the sea, and every corner of the country
Pag 5

3: As for the land route
4: An highway crosses the Kanmon Strait with a huge bridge 1068m long
5: Ordinary national roads and railroads pass through specialized tunnels
6: As for bicycles and people... they use the “pedestrian bridge tunnel” at the bottom of the huge bridge
From Honshu to Kyushu, they can cross over the Kanmon Strait by walking
Pag 6
4: Waaa
We're at the bottom of the sea here?
That's right
5: So above us is the sea?
Yeah

Pag 24
1: They must have been

The Amami rabbit is native to the islands of Amami Ōshima and Tokunoshima in southern Kagoshima Prefecture. It is descended from now extinct varieties of primitive rabbits that lived on the Asian mainland. Threatened by habitat loss, it has benefited from growing conservation efforts. Photographer Hamada Futoshi has spent nearly four decades studying and documenting the nocturnal rabbit.

KENPACHIRO SATSUMA (born YASUAKI MAEDA 1947-Died December 16th 2023,at 76). Japanese actor and stuntman who portrayed Godzilla in the Heisei films, from 1984 to 1995. Born in Kagoshima Prefecture, Satsuma began his acting career in the 1960s with small roles in samurai films. In 1971 he was offered the role of the smog monster antagonist Hedorah in Godzilla vs. Hedorah, opposite Haruo Nakajima as Godzilla. He went on to play Gigan in two further Godzilla films. When Nakajima retired from the Godzilla role in 1972, substitutes were hired between 1973 and 1975 until Satsuma took over permanently in 1984. His portrayal took the character away from the humour of the character's portrayals over the past decades, returning to the more animalistic Godzilla persona of the original 1954 film.Kenpachiro Satsuma - Wikipedia

自己紹介
初めまして！^ - ^
私はエミと言います。3、4 年大学で日本語を勉強していて、最後の日本語の授業を終えたところです。
すべての「げんき」とほとんどの「とびら」を勉強していて、独学で勉強して続けたいです。それで、アカウントを作りました。
日本語を勉強して初めてばかりの頃、主にアニメや漫画などに興味がありました。でも、今そんなことだけじゃなくて、地理とか歴史とかにも興味があります。
例えば、九州が大好きです！実は私のバーナは鹿児島にの吉野公園の写真です。鹿児島県はとても面白いだと思います。どうですか。
さあ、複雑な漢字や面白い単語が好きだったら、ぜひ私のアカウントをフォローしてください！

Self Introduction
Nice to meet you! ^ - ^
I am Emi. I’ve studied Japanese for 3 or 4 years, and I just finished my last Japanese class.
I’ve studied all of Genki and most of Tobira, and I want to continue studying on my own. So, I created this account.
When I’d just started studying Japanese, I was mainly interested in things like anime and manga. But now, I’m not only interested in things like that, but also geography, history, and the like.
For example, I love Kyushu! In fact, my banner is a picture of Yoshino Park in Kagoshima. I think that Kagoshima prefecture is very interesting. What do you think?
Well, if you like complicated kanji or interesting vocabulary words, by all means, please follow my account!

Part 13 of A Treatise of Embroidery, crochet, and knitting with illustrations
By George C. Perkins, Anna Grayson Ford, and M. Heminway & Sons Silk co circa 1899
Please note, this book was written in 1899, and as such uses a racist term to refer to the dyes that were used for the thread. If you'd like to read more about this period in time, the term, and the stereotypes that the Victorians had, I've actually linked the wikipedia article here that goes more in depth. It's not the end all be all of it, but it's a good starting place for anyone wanting to educate themselves on the topic.
So the lily that is shown on this page, when I looked it up is called Lilium Speciosum. This lily is native to Southeast China, Japan, and Taiwan, and was introduced to English Gardeners in 1830. Trying to find the common names for it by the way has been a nightmare. In English it took me longer than it should have to find that it's called the Japanese Lily, Japanese show lily, or Rubrum Lily nowadays.
Japanese Wikipedia when translated gives me Kanokoyuri, Doyou Lily, and Tanabata Lily as common names and much more information on the background than I can find on any of the English language websites I came across, so I've included a DeepL translated version of the Japanese Wikipedia page below.
"Kanokoyuri (scientific name: Lilium speciosum) is a perennial herb in the lily family, Liliaceae. It is also known as the Doyou lily and the Tanabata lily.
Characteristics:
The distribution is Kyushu (mainly from the Satsuma Peninsula to the coast of Nagasaki Prefecture), Shikoku (in the mountains of Ehime and Tokushima Prefectures), northern Taiwan, and Jiangxi Province, China, with the highest density of native plants in Japan in the Koshijima Islands. The grass is 1 to 1.5 m tall, and the flowering season is from July to September. The flowers, which are about 10 cm in length, are beautiful and have been cultivated for ornamental purposes since ancient times. The Japanese name is derived from the petals, which are spotted with a fawn pattern.
In the Edo period (1603-1867), Philipp Franz von Siebold brought bulbs of the canary lily out of Japan, and it is said to be the first Japanese lily to become known in Europe. During the Meiji period, the bulbs were boiled and dried and exported to China as a confectionery ingredient. In the Taisho era (1912-1926), bulbs were exported to the United States and used as fresh flowers for Christmas and Easter. In the postwar period, demand for lilies as ornamental flowers increased overseas, and during the period of rapid economic growth, breeding efforts were made to produce high-quality lilies, but from the 1970s onward, overseas demand declined.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)"
I also translated the Chinese Wikipedia page, which gave me a common name of Deer Lily due to the spots. The translated Chinese Wikipedia Page via DeepL gives me a ton more information so I've also included it here:
"also known as Lilium glaucum (Taiwanese: iām-hông lo̍k-á pik-ha̍p), Lilium beautifulum, Lilium medicum, Lilium glaucum, Lilium magenta, Lilium septuagenarianum, Lilium hyacinthum, and Lilium speciosum, is a species of lily in the family Liliaceae. It is a plant of the genus Lilium, with the species addition speciosum meaning "beautiful", and is found in Kyushu and Shikoku, Japan, Taiwan, and southern China, and is named for its flowers, which are covered with brilliant spots that resemble deer stripes. In Taiwan, there is a variety of red deer lily (Lilium speciousm var. gloriosoides) covered with reddish spots, which is endemic to Taiwan, and is also the curatorial flower of the National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan, and is regarded as "the most beautiful lily in East Asia".
The bulbs are nourishing, strengthening, diuretic, cough suppressant, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory. In Japan, the flower language of the Kagoshima lily is "solemnity" and "compassion".
Growth:
It grows in the low altitude mountains of northern Taiwan, on rocky, exposed, sunny slopes."
"Uses:
The bulbs are edible, rich in starch, and taste like potatoes. Deerberry lilies are so popular that there has been a lot of research into breeding them, and as a result there are cultivars of deerberry lilies in many gardens. People have crossed Deer Lily with Lily of the Valley to produce some valuable varieties, such as the "Imperial" series, and in 1964, the Japanese selected and bred the "Uchida" deep pink flower disease-resistant varieties from the Deer Lily.
Problems"
The red deer lily is currently endangered, with a small growing area, few breeding sites, and a decreasing number of growing areas and populations."
I've included the translations as is, but as we know, translation programs are dubious at best and unfortunately I lack the language skills to make sure that it translated properly. So if anyone who speaks Japanese, Chinese, or any of the other languages of the different areas this plant is native, can verify if the translation is accurate, tell me other common names of these lilies, and/or give me more information if possible, it would be much appreciated!
Onward to the diagram description:
Flower.
Description of accompanying Spray.
Pink:
1655 = Shade number 1, 404 = 2, 0405 = 3, 405 = 4, 406 = 5, 407 = 6.
Pistil & Stem:
432 = 7.
Pollen and Stamens:
647 = 8, 650 = 9.
Leaves and Stems.
Green:
0428 = Shade letter A, 428 = B, 429 = C, 430 = D.
Brown
230 1/2 = E, 230 3/4 = F.
A graceful stem with alternating leaves going up it has a single speckled lily branching off to the right and further up a larger bud is bowed over facing the left.
The stem starts with D and changes to C as it reaches the first leaf on the right side.
Leaf 1: Starting from the bottom of the leaf and going row by row upwards, E, D, D C, B, F.
Leaf 2 is slightly higher on the stem and roughly the same size, but this time is on the left side.
Leaf 2: D, C, B, A.
Leaf 3 is a tiny leaf on the right side slightly higher up.
Leaf 3: C, B.
The main stem is done in D, and changes to C higher up. The stem branches off to the right, and ends in the lily blossom.
Stem Branch:
C, B.
The lily has 6 petals that are randomly speckled. We will be starting with the petal closest to the stem, which is horizontal with the tip of the petal curling under to face right.
Petal 1 starting from tip and working our way back to the center in columns as the petal is horizontal, we will be going from the bottom up to the top in each column.:
Column 1: 3 (petal underside), 2 (petal topside), 3 (Petal Topside)
Column 2: 4, 5.
Column 3: 5.
Column 4: 6.
Moving Clockwise to the next petals:
Petal 2, going by row now instead of columns, left to right:
Row 1: 2, 3.
Row 2: 4 (petal underside), 4 (topside), 3 (topside)
Row 3: 5, 4.
Petal 3:
Row 1: 1(underside).
Row 2: 3.
Row 3: 4.
Row 4: 5.
Row 5: 6.
Petal 4 is horizontal pointing to the right, row one is also going horizontal up the petal from left to right, starting from the top down.
Petal 4:
Row 1: 5, 4, 3.
Row 2: 6, 3, 2.
Petal 5 is going in rows from center to tip:
Row 1: 5, 4.
Row 2: 5, 3.
Petal 6 emerges from under petal 5 and also goes in rows from center to tip:
Row 1: 4, 3.
Row 2: 3.
Row 3: 2, 3.
Row 4: 2.
The stamens are done in 8 and 9 with the ones closer to the center of the flower being 9 and the ones further out being 8. The pistil and stems of the stamens are done in 7.
Moving on to the other fork on the original stem, we have a tiny leaf alternating left and one alternating right. The left leaf starts at C and ends in B at the tip. The right leaf starts at B and ends in A at the tip.
The stem continues up and then bows steeply to the left in a gradient from B to A. It ends in an oblong bud that starts in rows from top to bottom:
