Well people, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to get to everyone’s sites lately…I’ve been lazy, and I have had the resources to do so…but Anywho, I want you guys to read this excerpt from the story of the Shinsengumi.

Commander Kondô [Isami] interrogated Furutaka himself, but the latter had come to Kyoto resolved to die if necessary, and he said nothing. Even when he was beaten until his back was in ribbons, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, losing consciousness before he would open his mouth. Vice-Commander Hijikata Toshizô, feeling utterly at a loss, contrived this and that and finally tied Furutaka's hands behind him and hung him upside down from a beam. Then he drove five-inch nails into the soles of his feet, planted a 100-monme [13-ounce] candle on each, and lit the candles. The wax quickly melted and dribbled slowly down from the soles of his feet to his calves. Even Furutaka, who had resolved to die, seemed unable to bear this cruel and unrelenting pain, and after suffering in agony for about a half hour, he finally opened his mouth and divulged his comrades' secret plan.


You guys recognize the name Hijikata Toshizo? He’s the madel for Aoshi from Rurouni Kenshin!! Yeah well that’s all for today, I’ll leave you with my Japanese word and a pic from Wild Adapter.

japanese word: toshi
meaning: year
this usually refers to age.
