People as pictures

In this piece of writing of "People as picture" by New society, I thought that it was a very informative piece of writing about irezumi tattoos.  I really enjoyed this piece of writing because I think that it is a intersting topic and I love to learn new thinks.  One part about irezumi tattoos it that the tattoo itself seems like it would be very painful and that a lot of the people in Japan don't like it so if you were to go to the public showers the people that have the tattoos would wear a suit resembling a Victorian bathing costume which covers everything but the stomach.  So I was thinking if the people in Japan don't like it and it is really painful than why would you get a irezumi tattoo. Irezumi tattoos are more primarily in the lower class during the Edo era and now the irezumi tattoos are in the decline.  One thing that I thought was cool was that they are still using some of those designs in modern tattoo today.

Museum

Alaskan Kayaks
While in the Museum of the North my eyes got caught on the Alaskan Kayaks.  What I got out of the exhibit was of the history behind the kayaks and the cultures that they belonged to, including the different types of Alaskan Kayaks.  One thing about the kayaks that I liked about them was the way that the museum kept them looking rustic and historical in the exhibit.  Another thing that I noticed was that the kayak had some pieces missing in it which made me think that this kayak was in a hunt of some sort.  The structure of the kayak to me looked like the Alaskan kayaks were really strong especially with the outside of the kayak to be covered with seal skin.  Inside the kayak at the museum it seemed to me that their was a lot of paddles just for one kayak, because I think that there was about six paddles, but these paddles in the kayak where made of wood and that they were long paddles about maybe six or eight foot long.  The kayak that they had on display in the museum had a tan color to it with no sits in the inside which made me think how did that hunt and where would they have put their weapons.  One thing that I noticed about the kayak is that it look like a modern canoe that we would use today. Overall I think the Museum of the North was an awesome Museum, it is the only museum hat I know that has a sound room.

Visualizing the Disabled Body Lennard Davis

          In Visualizing the Disable Body by Lennard Davis, I though was he wrote about was a personal subject for him, and that I noticed that he was right about are culture and how closed minded we are.  What this book made me think of was how I didn't it and didn't realize it and all of the disabled parts I guess of what makes a perfect human and that everyone can see something difference.

          In Visualizing the Disable Body I thought that the introduction was not what I was inspecting and I thought that it was a little weird.  One  thing that I like about this essay was how Lennard Davis tied into the mythology into the essay.
