Hey! Do you have any information regarding Rotten Heaven and their creations? I specifically would like to know more about Busuko and Honue. Thank youuu <3

Hi, I'm not sure exactly what kind of info you're looking for so I'll just go with a basic introduction of the Artist and his contribution to Ukagaka.

Rotten Heaven is a website created by artist Watazou/Wat ｢real name: Tomohiko Watanabe｣. The website was created in 2001, firstly as a tripod website and got delete somewhere in late 2016. The website mainly served as a diary, gallery and download site for his creations.

About: Watazou is a sucker for metal music (who would've thought ?) his favorite groups being Death Angel, Exodus, Alice in Chains, Megadeth, etc. He also loves Vocaloid, most notably Miku & Luka, drawing various fanart & having a collection. He also wrote in his dairy about events and festivals he went to. Wat also was a fan of Hellboy and Mike Mignola. On his Twitter he has been posting a lot about Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.

Watazou was very active in the Ukagaka community, he notably created various original Ukagaka Ghosts over the years which were all very complete.

🥀The Toxic Waltz [2001]

"Slash-hardcore clothing and fast-paced animation, high tension and angry conversations will transport you to a world that cannot be replicated. She is also known for her funny interactions with other Ghosts, and is in any case a ghost with a high degree of communication excellence."

Ghost consisting of Busuko "Diva Satanica" her companion Honeyu and her sisters, Kusuko "Chemical Warfare" & Kakuko "Atomic Smasher". An additional shell would later be created for Busuko, called Busyakko or Yakko for short.

🦴Hone Hone Oyako [2006]

Ghost consisting of Honeyu and his daughter Honue who can also be spotted in the Ghost The Toxic Waltz, randomly appearing. She features multiple Outfits which are randomised at launch.

🪦RottenHeaven - Graveyard Lovesong [2008]

Ghost consisting of RottenHeaven, a living dead girl, inspired by the Frankenstein's monster & her companion Heartache. RottenHeaven's scripts are mostly written in Hiragana/Katakana with no Kanji.

Un addition to that, he also created a number of Ghosts, notably clock ones, Shells for Ghosts such as 54 or Talker, a Ghost named "Raven" for the baseware Crow, participated in art books and drew fanart of various other Ghosts. His own creations, most Notably Busuko for The Toxic Waltz was featured in many fanart within the community and fan games such UkaSamsh & U-New de Bomber XP. A fansite The Toxic Alliance (毒子同盟) would even be created by fans of The Toxic Waltz

On a last note, Wat notably collaborated with Ryūō Zero/Zero-r, creator of the Ghost Blood Tea House, to create a series of merch featuring Busuko & Urako for the Ukagaka Anniversary Event of 2012.

And there you go, I hope this answers some of your questions, there's definitely some information that I haven't seen being shared by many users before so that should teach people a few things. Looking into this made me love Watazou's work even more.

HAVE A GOOD FRIENDLY VIOLENT FUN !

Welcome to the inaugural series of this blog! On 11/23I went to the Morikami Museum & Gardens in Delray Beach, FL., where there was an exhibit on art created with traditional Japanese paper and papermaking techniques. The nine modern artists featured are Aoyama Hina, Horiki Eriko, Ibe Kyoko, Ikezaki Yoshio, Ishii Kakuko, Kimura Yuko, Nishimura Yuko, Tanaka Takaaki, and Yoshida Ayomi. The exhibition runs from November 5, 2022 to April 2, 2023.

Washi Transformed: New Expressions in Japanese Paper

"For over 1000 years, Japan has produced some of the world's finest paper, using strong natural fibers and exceptional production techniques passed down through the generations. Japanese handmade paper, known as washi (Japanese: 和紙) is still made in some areas of Japan and used in painting, calligraphy, origami and other traditional art forms.

Recently, contemporary Japanese artists have been turning to this supple yet sturdy material, using it as a medium for creating highly textured two-dimensional works, complex sculptures, and dramatic installations. Employing techniques ranging from layering, weaving and dying, to twisting, folding, and cutting these artists demonstrate the endless contemporary applications of this ancient material.

Washi Transformed focuses on washi as a medium for contemporary art in Japan and spotlights the works of nine very different contemporary Japanese artists who are exploring the artistic potential of this traditional material. The artists: Aoyama Hina, Horiki Eriko, Ibe Kyoto, Ikezaki Yoshio, Ishii Kakuko, Kimura Yuko, Nishimura Yuko, Tanaka Takaaki, Yoshida Ayomi - all push the boundaries of Japanese washi art in terms of texture, dimension and scale, creating works that challence our assumptions about the nature of the material. Their abstract paper sculptures, lyrical folding screens, dramatic installations and highly textured wall pieces all demonstrate the resilience and versatility of washi as a medium in the realm of international contemporary art."

Traditional Japanese Washi

"According to early Japanese texts, Chinese papermaking techniques were first brought to Japan in 610 C.E. by a Korean Buddhist monk. Early Japanese paper was made from hemp, but eventually all washi was made from the mitsumata (Latin: Edgeworthia chrysantha) shrub, the gampi tree (Latin: Diplomorpha sikokiana) and kōzo (Latin: Broussonetia papyrifera, paper mulberry tree). The long, strong fibers of kōzo produce very strong, dimensionally stable papers, so they are the most commonly used washi fibers.

In traditional Japanese papermaking, the bark is first steamed and the darker outer sections are removed. The remaining fibers are rinsed, cooked until soft, and then beaten to break the fibers into pulp made-up of thin strands. The fiber pulp is mixed into a vat of water creating a water suspension. A bamboo sieve-like screen is dunked into the suspension and drawn up, catching some of the pulp on the surface of the screen, while the water drains away.

Around the 8th century, Japanese papermakers invented the nagashizuki, or discharge, technique, in which they add a vegetable substance called neri (Japanese: 粘剤) to the suspension and then skillfully maneuver the screen to keep the fiber mixture in constant motion, resulting in sheets of paper that are thin, translucent and very strong. Each sheet is removed from the screen and left to dry and bleach in the sun.

Because of its long fibers, washi is much tougher than ordinary paper made from wood pulp, so it has been employed in a wide range of traditional arts, from printmaking, painting, and origami to clothing, toys, kites, and architecture. Now designated by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage, much of Japan's washi is made in and around the city of Echizen in Fukui prefecture along the north coast of central Honshu island."

The Secret Of Vegan Stir Fry

Image by kakuko from Pixabay Here are some of the common misunderstandings of stir fry dishes: Stir fry is always oily. This is not true. You can add as little oil as possible. It doesn’t have to be oily. Although vegetables love oil and absorb oil, we can cook very tasty vegetable dishes without adding more than half a teaspoon of oil. Stir fry has to be cooked in a wok without the lid on.…

Rize’s Rebirth

In the final arc of Tokyo Ghoul :re, a number of plot points were left unanswered. The most prominent and mysterious of these points was Rize Kamishiro, who was the driving plot point of the arc. After Kaneki (who became a one-eyed ghoul by having Rize’s Kakuhou implanted into him) ingested the Oggai (who each had a Kakuhou of Rize’s as well) and a “core” from Furuta’s body, he transformed into an enormous Kakuja called “Dragon.”

After Kaneki was extracted the Kakuja dissolved, but it left behind a number of oviducts that continued to function. The core of the 19th ward oviduct turned out to be Rize herself.

However, if you look closely at the egg membrane in the first panel, you’ll notice that there doesn’t appear to be a body inside. There are merely tentacles writhing around, but these tentacles consolidate and then Rize herself burst out of the egg. This suggests Rize was formed from the egg rather than already being present in it. But how could Rize have been “formed” if she already existed? Also, why did she later form strange, animalistic features when she was confronted by Kaneki?

“The core”

As shown in the first image above, Kanou stated the final step towards creating Dragon was a “core” placed in Furuta’s body. @littlemissymonster once speculated that this core could have been Rize’s main Kakuhou. In the series, it’s confirmed that severely damaging or destroying the kakuhou is a death sentence for a ghoul.

During Nishiki and Kurona’s fight with Roma on Rushima Island, Kurona tries to pierce the latter’s Kakuko because it would presumably be fatal. In the original series, Nashiro is unable to recover after having most of her Kakuko destroyed. Also, in one of the Tokyo Ghoul novels (Void), a ghoul named Noyama dies after Kaneki eats his Kakuho. However, there are also references in the series to ghouls that have multiple Kakuho sacs.

Eto (and later Yoshimura who posed as her) was determined to have 6-8 kakuho during her initial battles with the CCG. Later, during Kaneki’s battle with Shinohara in Kanou’s lab, Shinohara suspects Kaneki has multiple kakuho after he unveiled a new kagune form.

For six months prior to the battle in Kanou’s lab, Kaneki engaged in several acts of cannibalism to increase his ghoul abilities. This consumption of excess rc cells is likely what caused the formation of new kakuhou beyond the original one he received from Rize. The same is likely for Eto as she grew up in the 24th ward where it’s said cannibalism is common place.

However, this creates some confusion. In several places it’s mentioned that damaging the kakuho can be fatal. In addition to the above examples, it’s mentioned that in Yoshimura’s first fight with Arima his kakuhou received “lethal” damage. However, Shinohara managed to destroy a few of Kaneki’s kakuhou during their fight, but he continued fighting just fine. It seems that only if a ghoul’s original kakuhou (not those formed by excess consumption) is damaged then it is lethal.

This would explain why Rize was able to survive multiple Kakuhou extractions. After Furuta dropped steel beams on Rize in the first chapter, she was handed over to Kanou to extract her kakuho to create one-eyed ghouls. While Rize was never stated to be a cannibal, she did eat several times the number of humans a normal ghoul typically eats (hence her title “Binge Eater”). This could lead to the formation of extra kakuho, and so for Kanou’s experiments he would extract these extra kakuho to implant into humans. By leaving Rize’s original, or main, kakuho alone he could keep her alive and wait for these extra kakuho to grow back for further extraction.

So, the “core” that Kanou implanted into Furuta was likely Rize’s main kakuho. Extracting this would lead to her death, and this was necessary for Furuta’s plan to resurrect her (will explain below).

RC Cells as Memory Cells

In a ghoul biology post by @coromoor, it’s hypothesized that rc cells are a type of blood stem cell. This is evidenced by their presence in the bloodstream, their appearance being similar to blood cells affected by sickle-cell anemia, and their ability to regenerate multiple types of tissue.

Stem cells are able to differentiate into any type of cell. This includes memory cells, and if rc cells are a type of stem cells than this explains why Kaneki (who has Yamori’s rc cells as he ate his kakuhou) is able to replicate Yamori’s kagune.

This would also explain Kaneki’s visions of Rize. In part 1, whenever Kaneki was in a mentally low state, a vision of Rize would appear and speak with him. If rc cells also double as memory cells, then this could explain these visions. As Kaneki had Rize’s kakuhou (and therefore her rc cells) he also had her memories inside of him.

Later, when Kaneki is inside the Dragon in part 2, he has another vision of Rize. She refers to the Oggai as “small coffins.” A coffin is a container for dead remains, and this further supports the idea that she died after her her “core” (main kakuhou) was extracted from her body to be implanted into Furuta. However, her core and dozens of her other kakuhou have now been reunited inside of Dragon.

One of the panels shown at the beginning of this post showed Rize’s body forming inside of an egg. If rc cells are stem cells, then they can differentiate into any cell or tissue type (skeletal, muscle, blood, brain, etc.). By bringing together so many of Rize’s rc cells, it’s essentially created her a new body. It created a new Rize.

When this new body is formed, it’s still lacking its lower half. However, when Kaneki encounters it in :re 178 it appears more developed. It seems the purpose of Dragon was to gain energy (by eating humans) so Rize could be fully reformed.

Purpose of the Resurrection

All of this begs the question: why would Furuta go to all this trouble of resurrecting her when he could have avoided killing her in the first place?

It’s implied that continually extracting kakuho on a ghoul has negative impacts on their mental health. In a flashback in :re 65, Shachi mentions that Yoshimura’s kakuho is constantly being extracted by the Aogiri Tree (for One-Eyed Ghoul experiments). He says this has left him incognizant (lacking knowledge or awareness). This suggests the extractions have left him in a vegetative state.

This seems to be the same case for Rize (who also suffered from multiple extractions). While Furuta is talking to her in :re 119, she doesn’t acknowledge him or any of her surroundings.

Furuta’s goal from the beginning was to overthrow the Washu clan and to destroy the system they created, and to do this he needed Rize’s kakuho. However, he was also in love with Rize (having helped her escape the Sunlit Garden) and wanted to marry her. So, he used her to destroy the “cage” created by the Washu and V by unleashing the Dragon. Then, he planned to use the same Dragon to resurrect her so he could be with her.

In the end, all Furuta really wanted was a normal life.

Morning

note: is this short? sure but wanna know whats shorter? your dick. anyway cursing is involved

“The impression I get is that I just fucked your mother?” Hanma asked in an intense stare with a smirk. Sanzu replied, keeping eye contact: “No you are hearing me telling you to stop making mom jokes, you fucking virgin." Hanma and Sanzu were observing each other closely as they sat in the living room. "Okay, now whenever you two want to stop bickering, join Kakuko and me in the dining room for breakfast." Koko announced as he stepped into the dining room. "Hanma, shut up and go eat your damn bagel bites." Sanzu told Hanma as he got up and followed Koko.

Eventually, the rest of the Tenjiku had entered the dining room. “Shut the fuck up Kisaki. You get the napkins yourself you fucking stick-looking ass.” Ran was pissed because Kisaki had asked to get a napkin since they were near Ran. “Did you get a knot in your hair this morning the fuck? "What's wrong with this chick today?" Kisaki retorted as he got up to get a napkin. “Keep talking and see what happens.” Ran responded violently as he plunged his fork into his breakfast. “For someone who brings shit to our group, you sure talk a lot.” Hanma said defending Kisaki. “Here goes Hanma defending his master.” Rin got involved. “Yes Kisaki is my master. Look at him. He can put me on a leash any day.” Hanma responded with a loving smile on his face as he took a bite of his breakfast.

“Nah cause I already know you and Kisaki be on that alpha omega shit in bed.” Ran added onto Hanmas message. “You’re telling me Hanma isn't a virgin? What a shocker.” Sanzu murmered. “Scar mouth, I'm gonna need you to shut the fuck up for me okay?” Hanma announced, glancing at Sanzu. “Okay but why the fuck is Kisaki not answering?” Rin questioned focusing the tables attention on the said man. The moment Kisaki heard that he had choked on his food a little. “Shut the fuck up, you are a side kick to your brother.” Kisaki retorted as he wiped his mouth. As the four of them went back and forth, Koko asked Izana “Is it okay to just watch this happen?” Izana turned his attention to Koko “Of course, its nice to get energetic in the morning isnt it?” He responded.

Hanma had stood up from the table took a piece of his breakfast and proceeded to throw it at Rin in one swift motion. The whole table got quiet. The food had slid down Rin's face leaving a mess on his lap and face. Rin took the food that was thrown at him and threw it back to Hanma. He missed and it hit Kisaki instead. Kisaki took some of Hanma’s food and threw it at Ran. “Oi what the hell did you throw that for?" Ran questioned as he threw some food back. An all out food war had started. Izana had gotten up picked up his plate. “I think I’m done for breakfast.” Izana smiled.
