“All the madnesses, each and every blinding one, they can all be traced back to the gates. Those carved monstrosities, those clay and chalk portals, existing everywhere and nowhere and all at once. They open, things are born, they close. The opening is easy, a pushing out, an expansion, an inhalation: the dust of divinity released into the world. It has to be a temporary channel, though, a thing that is sealed afterward, because the gates stink of “knowledge, they cannot be left swinging wide like a slack mouth, leaking mindlessly. That would contaminate the human world—bodies are not meant to remember things from the other side. There are rules. But these are gods and they move like heated water, so the rules are softened and stretched. The gods do not care. It is not them, after all, that will pay the cost.”

Excerpt From Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi

Sean bienvenidos japonistasarqueologos, a una nueva entrega de historia nipona una vez dicho esto pónganse cómodos que empezamos.

Hace no mucho salió un nuevo Assassin's Creed Shadows, Yazuke (やすけ) nacido posiblemente en mozambique aunque dependiendo de la fuente lo podéis encontrar que proviene de Madagascar o de otras partes de África no está muy claro su fecha de nacimiento, pero se sabe que existió en el siglo XVI fue un esclavo bajo el amparo de los jesuitas llegando a Japón y cuando Oda Nobunaga, lo vio se quedó impregnado de él mandó lavarlo porque nunca habían visto a un africano.

-

Cabe destacar que a Nobunaga le llamaban el loco, ya que le gustó a la opulencia de última hora en lo que respecta a la moda de la época básicamente lo tendría para fallar mira lo que tengo y tú no tienes. Aquí viene las disputas de sí no fue samurái, las fuentes niponas y la fuente en general de la época hablan de que le dio ciertos cargos posiblemente para llamar la atención y generar cierto revuelo no se sabe muy bien cuando murió.

-

Actualmente, en el país naciente esto está generando un gran revuelo. ¿Qué opinan al respecto?

日本の考古学者たちよ、ようこそ、日本史の新連載へ!さあ、くつろいで、始めよう。

-

少し前に、新しいアサシン クリード シャドウズ、ヤズケ(やすけ)おそらくモザンビークで生まれたが、ソースによっては、マダガスカルやアフリカの他の部分から来ているそれを見つけることができますが、彼の生年月日は非常に明確ではないが、それは 16 世紀に存在していたことが知られているイエズス会の保護の下で奴隷だった日本に来るし、織田信長、それを見たとき、彼と孕んでいた彼らはアフリカ人を見たことがないのでそれを洗浄するように命じた。

-

信長が狂人と呼ばれたのは特筆に値する。当時のファッションを見る限り、信長は後世の豪華さを好んでいた。日本側の資料や当時の一般的な資料には、信長が注目を集め、騒ぎを起こすために、信長にある地位を与えたと書かれているが、信長がいつ死んだのかは定かではない。

-

これは現在日本で大きな波紋を呼んでいるが、あなたはどう思うだろうか?

-

Welcome, Japanese archaeologists, to a new installment of Japanese history, so make yourselves comfortable and let's get started.

-

Not long ago came out a new Assassin's Creed Shadows, Yazuke (やすけ) born possibly in mozambique although depending on the source you can find it that comes from Madagascar or other parts of Africa is not very clear his date of birth, but it is known that existed in the sixteenth century was a slave under the protection of the Jesuits coming to Japan and when Oda Nobunaga, saw it was impregnated with him ordered to wash it because they had never seen an African.

-

It is worth noting that Nobunaga was called the madman, as he liked the latter-day opulence as far as the fashion of the time was concerned basically he would have it to fail look what I have and you don't have. Here comes the disputes of yes he was not a samurai, the Japanese sources and the general source of the time talk about him giving him certain positions possibly to draw attention and generate some commotion is not quite sure when he died.

-

This is currently causing quite a stir in Japan, what do you think about it?
