Yamanoue Stele and Tumulus in Takasaki, Japan

September 22, 2023

There are only 18 examples of ancient stelae surviving from Japan’s classical antiquity, which roughly corresponds to the Early Middle Ages of the West. Located in the city of Takasaki, the Three Stelae of Kōzuke are the oldest of Japan’s stone inscriptions. The Yamanoue Stele, the oldest of the three, has stood on a lonely hill since 681, from the Asuka period.

Rock in Road in McLouth, Kansas

September 22, 2023

The “Rock in the Road” is a landmark in McLouth, Kansas. This large boulder of very hard, pink Sioux quartzite sits in the middle of the intersection of South Granite Street and East Lucy Street. It was dragged by a glacier from distant outcrops in the upper Midwest and left behind as the ice melted thousands of years ago. This ancient glacial erratic is surrounded by asphalt because it was simpler to pave around the rock than move it.

Memorial for Victims of the German Occupation...

September 22, 2023

The Memorial for Victims of the German Occupation stands at the southern end of Liberty Square. Built in 2014, it was meant to commemorate the Nazi takeover of Hungary that occurred on March 19, 1944.

An inscription at the base of the monument reads, “In memory of the victims.” Jewish groups...

Welsh Sheep-Shearing Cake Is a Forgotten Pastoral...

September 22, 2023

Once a year—typically in the early summer, then occasionally again at the start of the fall—Welsh sheep farmers enlist the help of shearers and farmhands to help them for a special occasion: Shearing Day. In the midst of an arduous day of shearing sheep, the workers are rewarded with cups of tea, a spread of food, and cake. Shearing cake, or cacen gneifo (pronounced “c-ack-en guh-nigh-fo”) in Welsh, was traditionally made to celebrate Shearing Day. A simple, buttery sponge,...

The Micronations of Baffins Pond in Portsmouth,...

September 22, 2023

Baffins Pond is a small lake in East Portsmouth, it is bordered by a library, playground, and basketball court and is a nice place to relax and possibly walk your dog. The lake, home to plenty of ducks, geese, and swans, is also home to three islands in the middle of it. The quiet atmosphere of this small and tranquil nature reserve is not where you might expect to find an ongoing territorial dispute. In 2005, inspired by the...

The Blue Dome in Tulsa, Oklahoma

September 22, 2023

In the 1920s, Tulsa, Oklahoma, booming with oil money, built a thriving central downtown of glimmering gold-hued Art Deco buildings unlike those seen anywhere in the American West. However, one of the most striking buildings of this era was not a skyscraper at all, but rather a gas station designed to resemble the Hagia Sophia. A century later, this structure remains the center of Tulsa’s arts and nightlife scene, and the symbol of this offbeat and hardscrabble prairie city’s...

September 22, 2023

In the Milwaukee suburb of Menomonee Falls off Highway 45 is Redner’s Rescued Cat Figurine Mewseum, a private home collection of over 3,500 cat figurines and other feline memorabilia. Shawn Redner began collecting cat figurines in 2018, taking home whatever he could find in antique malls, rummage sales, and thrift stores. He acquired cat music boxes, cat cookie jars, cat plates, cat art—even cat-inspired furniture. Eventually, Redner’s collection became substantial enough that he and his wife Hilary decided that...

Lempicka's Former Studio in Paris, France

September 22, 2023

In the heart of Paris on 7 rue Méchain, an architectural marvel by Robert Mallet-Stevens emerges, a unique apartment building designed in 1928-1929. Crafted at the request of Jean Deschamps, it remains hidden behind an unassuming street facade, a treasure trove of Mallet-Stevens’ signature design elements which include spatial harmonies, innovative angles, and panoramic rooftop terraces.

Site of the Rokumeikan in Tokyo, Japan

September 22, 2023

Following the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and its strict isolationist policy, the Meiji era of Japan (1868-1912) saw rapid modernization as it opened its borders to the West. The new government was ready to present itself as a modern nation by the 1880s, hosting grand balls and elaborate banquets for foreign guests. The center of Japan’s Westernization is said to have been the Rokumeikan, an opulent two-story building completed in 1883. It was commissioned by Marquess Inoue Kaoru,...

Uneven Gravity Makes You Weigh More in...

September 22, 2023

What a weird place this planet is. But especially southern Illinois, according to this map of gravity anomalies across three Midwestern states. Gravity is what made the apple fall from a certain tree (in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire), causing Newton to wonder why it fell down straight. But the law of universal gravitation he formulated (and published in 1687) by way of explanation is a lot less uniform than you’d think. For gravity does vary across the earth, meaning Newton’s apple...
