Why Bhutan's Leaders are Called Thunder Dragon Kings
Bhutan, a land of beautiful temples, abundant nature, and commonly dubbed the country with the world’s happiest people. There’s a lot to love about Bhutan, but one thing that has always stood out to me is the title used for Bhutan’s monarchy, which is really unique compared to other countries.
In Dzongkha, the official language of Bhutan, the nation’s reigning monarchs are called Druk Gyalpo. This translates into Thunder Dragon King, the Bhutanese head of state’s official title.
And I’m not gonna lie, you really can’t have a cooler name for a head of state than Thunder Dragon King, it soundly beats out my second favorite name for a modern head of state, which is Supreme Leader.
But that’s no...

Просмотров 4242 года назад
Regional variants in Pokemon are some of my favorite parts of the new games. Seeing as the last Pokemon video did so well, I decided to create two more Pokemon based on Asian culture. It's a little different from my usual content, but I hope you still enjoy. #Pokemon #GameFreak #Drawing #PokemonLegendsArceus #Hisuian Music by Beco: ruclips.net/channel/UC2KNOBqzElEs8TA7SR2Hm2w
Japan's Bizarre Fart Art
Просмотров 4,6 тыс.2 года назад
He-gassen, is a work of art that is honestly under-discussed considering its subject matter seems perfectly tailored to be spread all over the internet. Possibly created in 1846 by an unknown artist or a group of artists. This Edo period painting is absolutely bonkers. It is a 34 foot long traditional Japanese painting depicting the story of an entire fart battle. Waseda University digital uplo...

Просмотров 1,9 тыс.3 года назад
Reupload of my old Waist Chop video with new narration and(hopefully) correct pronunciations. Waist chop is a brutal form of execution used in ancient China throughout various dynasties. First being recorded during the Zhou Dynasty, waist chop persisted as a punishment until it was abolished during China's final dynasty: the Qing. Famous victims include Fang Xiaoru and Yu Hongtu.

Drawing Pokémon Regional Variants Based on Asian Culture(Time-lapse + Narration)
Просмотров 12 тыс.3 года назад
Regional variants in Pokemon are some of my favorite parts of the new games. I love them so much, in fact, that I decided to draw three regional variants of the Pokemon Koffing, Weezing, and Forretress based on Asian culture. It's a little different from my usual content, but I hope you still enjoy. #Pokemon #GameFreak #Drawing Music by Beco: ruclips.net/channel/UC2KNOBqzElEs8TA7SR2Hm2w
Everything You Need to Know About the Nine Tailed Fox (Kitsune, Huli Jing, Kumiho, Ho Ly Tinh)
Просмотров 33 тыс.3 года назад
I tried my hardest with the pronunciation. The nine tailed fox has many incarnations all across Asia(particularly within the Sinosphere). From China to Japan, Vietnam, and Korea, nine tailed foxes have been used as a device to convey trickery and good fortune. From gods like Huxian and Inari Okami, nine tailed foxes are revered as well. The Kitsune, Huli Jing, Kumiho, Ho Ly Tinh are some of Asi...
Anime, Authenticity, and Japan's Virtual Youtuber Trend
Просмотров 7404 года назад
Virtual RUclipsrs are a growing trend online which has undergone many changes since beginning with Kizuna Ai in 2016. Now the trend is dominated by two groups: Hololive and Nijisanji. Although at first I wanted to examine the trend with the end goal of showing how Virtual RUclipsrs appeal less to authenticity and more to our desire for a wacky character with the appearance of authenticity, I ca...
Yeonsangun: Medieval Korea's WORST Tyrant
Просмотров 14 тыс.4 года назад
Yeonsangun reigned during medieval Korea's Joseon Dynasty and is considered by many to be pre-modern Korea's worst tyrant. His unusual ruling style for a Confucian society resulted in the disapproval of many of the court's mandarins and officials. But his depraved behavior could be explained in part by the tragic exile and death of his mother. This video explored the life and family background ...
