Kusama Yayoi, one of #Japan's most recognized living artists known for her polka dots and avant-garde style. There is a museum in #Tokyo dedicated to her work.

I thought that I was actually witnessing her painting dots on the glass display in a LV store in #Omotesando, Tokyo, when I passed by. The realistic facial and eye movements of the robot were uncanny. I literally felt like she was looking at me and following me as I moved...

Come to #Nostrasia in Tokyo πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ (Nov 1-3, 2023) and see "her", and her works, for yourself!

*** Japanese Culture and Language Series #3 ***

Come to #Nostrasia πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ in #Tokyo from Nov 1-3 and use some of these expressions while you're here!

γŠη–²γ‚Œγ•γΎοΌ otsukaresama

γŠη–²γ‚Œγ•γΎγ§γ™οΌ otsukaresamadesu

γŠη–²γ‚Œγ•γΎγ§γ—γŸοΌ otsukaresamadeshita

"Otsukaresama" is a Japanese word that is used to express appreciation, acknowledgment, or sympathy for someone's effort, hard work, or tiredness arising from an endeavor. It is often used as a form of greeting or farewell in various settings, for example, with colleagues at the end of a workday. The literal translation of "otsukaresama" is "you're tired."

In Japanese characters, "otsukaresama" is written as γŠη–²γ‚Œζ§˜ or γŠη–²γ‚Œγ•γΎ. The first character "お" (o) is an honorific prefix, and "η–²γ‚Œ" (tsukare) means "tired" or "fatigue." The last character, written as "様" or "さま" (sama), is a respectful suffix used to show honor or respect toward the person. Together, they form the phrase "otsukaresama" (γŠη–²γ‚Œζ§˜).

By saying "otsukaresama" to someone, you are acknowledging their hard work, showing appreciation for their efforts, and recognizing their tiredness. It is commonly used in professional and social settings to express respect and consideration for others. One can also say "otsukaresama" to oneself, in acknowledgment of one's own effort. How lovely!!

It touches me that "otsukaresama" is said to the driver at arrival if one is sitting in a car driven by somebody else, even if that somebody else is a family member! ❀️

Below are some examples of illustrations that express "otsukaresama".

What was that unit referred to as in the code? And if there isn’t a name for it in the code, who suggested using β€œSatoshis” or β€œsats”?

How and when did 1 #Bitcoin become 100,000,000 sats? How was it decided? And by whom?

That URL changes to Nostrica.com in the browser…

What is #nostrpan?
