Located in Wakayama Prefecture, This Western-style building is a deserted mansion with a fascinating history that is said to be the inspiration for Himuro Mansion from the game Fatal Frame. Although they have striking similarities such as being located on top of a mountain and involving hauntings. Its true origin sets it apart.

Constructed in 1910, the opulent villa was the residence of Asajiro Yura, a prominent and affluent Japanese businessman. Born in 1878, Asajiro hailed from the Yura family, renowned textile dyers associated with the Kishu Tokugawa clan. After completing his education at Osaka University, he embarked on a venture in the dye industry, transforming his family's business.

As the world plunged into the chaos of World War I in 1914, Asajiro faced a critical predicament. With imports of dyestuffs from Germany halted due to the conflict, Japan's dye industry, heavily reliant on these supplies, faced peril. As the German Empire possessed exclusive manufacturing technology, the situation seemed dire. Yet, Asajiro rose to the challenge and became the first in Japan to successfully refine industrial-grade pure benzene, a significant breakthrough. He also ventured into producing phenol for disinfection and played a pivotal role in manufacturing Shimose gunpowder and set explosives during the Sino-Japanese War and World War II. Asajiro's expertise became instrumental in post-war Wakayama's chemical industry and fostered connections with military officials.

Rumors even suggested that Asajiro Yura's had gatherings which provided him with insider information on Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, Asajiro passed away in 1964 at the age of 86, leaving behind a family legacy. The mansion remained within the Yura family's possession until the 1980s when they relocated after the tragic loss of one of their children to a severe illness. Since around 2005, the Mori no Hai Western-style building gradually fell into disuse and obscurity, its historical significance fading with time

It's not a crisis, if they're just willing to let foreigners in.

Of course, that brings in another problem...

Eastern TN, Western NC, upstate SC are rekt. Hundreds of roads in Western NC simply no longer exist.

The state and federal response has been ongoing, with over 1,000 personnel, including National Guard assets, deployed according to FEMA. A disaster declaration for NC has been made but crews cannot traverse over collapsed bridges and 100+ foot ravines.

Main interstates I-40 and I-26 have collapsed sections. Numerous state roads have washed away.

Many secondary roads into neighborhoods are effectively eviscerated for miles. Survivors can't get out, help can't get in.

It's hard to get into Asheville. A 30 minute drive take 8-12 hours with many roads not existing, the remaining gas stations swamped. To get into smaller towns in the mountains is a day's journey if possible at all. National Guard trucks with food and water have to stop at collapses.

Similar to Hurricane Katrina, where boats and helicopters were the only viable means of aid delivery in the first days, air support is currently the most effective way to connect Western NC to the outside world. There are a limited amount of helicopters operating. Although the water has receded, the roads are still impassable.

This is still very much an active search and rescue mission. There is a high number of missing (in the thousands per state media) because people can't get in touch with loved ones. We saw this after Hurricane Ian as well, and expect that number will drop significantly when phone service/internet returns. For death toll and recovery, the final number will likely not be known for at least a month.

The lack of media presence on the ground isn't for lack of trying - reporters can't get into many areas for the same reason rescue can't. Even if they could, communication systems are destroyed / offline.

This is not going to be a quick recovery for anyone. Some rural parts of Western NC may never be rebuilt.

Hope you are okay.

Friday night 18:33, and I can't close VSCode. I should right? Geez. I'm addicted to this. Gotta stop. My settlers in Fallout 4 have been attacked...

It feels like a superpower that I don't fully understand.

Like laser eyes. You just shoot it at something, anything.

Or like flying. You don't ask, "How am I flying?"

well, other times, its well thought of "did you knows?" or factorids like year 2010'ish "stumbleupon"

On my fb feed, it would show posts in threads that are quite interesting. If you are male, it's usually posts of single females who are announcing they are single. It seems part of fb, so one is tempted to tap it all the time. Once you tap, it would ask you to install the damn app.
