		As I wrote before, I left the rest completely orthodox, but then Takei sensei from "Shaman King" praised it a lot, saying that "the bang is a good design because it represents nicely the character", so I'm feeling a bit confused.

		Historians have portrayed Nomura Bôtô as important because of "borrowed fame," her association with men famous in their own right such as Takasugi Shinsaku and Sanjo Sanetomi, with little textual analysis of Nomura’s writing.
		Literary scholars have either focussed on her waka, lauding the poetic accomplishments of a woman far removed from Japan’s cultural centers, or examined her diaries as part of the tradition of nikki bungaku.
