My featured blog for the day is Pink Tentacle, which offers an interesting look at Japanese culture along with science and technology news from the island nation. If you're a Japanophile like me, you'll find plenty to pique your interest at this web site, especially if you enjoy Japanese art. Recent posts have included a look at ukiyo-e prints involving the legend of Kintaro, a popular child folk hero who embodies strength and bravery; a series of anatomical drawings from the early 19th century, depicting human dissection; and a really cool feature on bento lunch boxes that have been arranged to recreate famous album covers. My personal favorite is the one for KISS's Destroyer. One I'd like to see them try: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band.
