On May 13, 2014December 25, 2021 By scalesoflibraIn TranslationLeave a comment

This post picks up where the previous one left off in the retelling of the 2002 live house tour, continuing on to the stops in Hiroshima, Osaka, and Tokyo. If you have yet to read the earlier portions, please go to the Table of Contents. I must confess that I'm translating reading only about 5 …

The Air Moon Ch. 2: Live House Tour, Pt. 1

If you haven't read Chapter 1 yet, you can find it here. Chapter 2 is fairly long at 70+ pages. The book splits the chapter contents by date, but as that would create too many short posts, I've decided to instead create several parts that each cover two or three dates. This part will cover …

A Request

Thank you for visiting Warped Frost! I hope you enjoy your time here.

So far I’ve tackled some really long translation projects, and given how much work I put into them, and the fact that I am NOT making money off of this (notice the lack of ads?) I want these translations to stay exclusively on Warped Frost. I’m glad if people read my translations, of course, and don’t mind being linked to. Same goes for my artwork and photographs.

よろしくお願いしま〜す!m(_ _)m

Close up of an "ita bag," a bag full of fandom pins and chotchkis. This one has mostly Hard Rock Cafe pins and FFVII keychains.

Umegaemochi, a kind of mochi with sweet bean paste inside and a plum mark grilled onto the outside. A specialty of Dazaifu, there are several shops on the sandō that sell it. Yum! (April 2016)

Tsuki no Matsu, the "Moon Pine" in Ueno Park. I don't know if this is the same tree ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige depicted in his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" prints, or if it's that the nearby temple has been grooming different pines into this shape for hundreds of years. (May 2016)

On the door to Shin-eiji Temple (an annex of Naritasan Temple) in Sapporo, they translated "Pray freely" to "Pray it freely", which I thought felt more poetic. (May 2016)

From an ice cream stand on the 参道 (sandō, the road leading up to a temple or shrine) to Dazaifu Tenmangū. They sell normal flavors & unusual flavors. Black sesame isn't that unusual, but I recommend their tofu flavored ice cream and corn flavored ice cream too. (April 2016)
