On August 6th, 2022, mum and I visited Graz. We took the Schloßbergbahn to go up, as mum could not climb the Kriegersteig (unfortunately). We explored the Castle Hill, where I spotted this memorial stone.

I’ve carved all the runes now. I couldn’t fit the entire text I had planned since the stone was tok small.

It says: α›†αšΏα›†αš΄α›†αš±α›αšΏα›šα›α›αš±α›†α›α›‹α›†α›†α›αš’αš΄α›šα›†α›‹

Transliteration: anakarin lit raisa at|tuklas

I still have to make the grooves deeper in some places and try to straighten some staves.

That’s two out of three rows done, including the bands. I’m going to take a break now, and finish the last row later. I will also have to go through all the runes again to make them deeper.

I spotted this hand-painted memorial stone on Saturday morning in the snow outside Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the West End of Glasgow.

Part 2 of Day 1's Visit to Auschwitz.
After our tour through Auschwitz I in our last post, we visited Auschwitz III-Monowitz and the Memorial Stone. This part, which is sited a few hundred meters from the original location, is still in use as an industrial area.

In 2010 I found the #memorialstone for #matsumura #sensei in #tomari, with the help of a local.

What was the first thing in my mind?
To take the pose of the first movement in a #kata called #matsumuranorohai, in the set of #rohai kata, of the tomari collection...

I know, slightly kitschy but I couldn't resist taking the shot.
