It's the end of the fiscal year

 
Today is the 31st of March. I'm sure everyone is busy with this and that.

March 31st is the day when the Eiffel Tower, the symbol of the French capital Paris, was completed. The tower itself was completed on March 15, 1889, but since it opened on March 31, the official date of completion is March 31, 1889. That means that March 31 is a busy day for everyone.

Speaking of March 31, the Ministry of Justice announced that the total population of Japan surpassed 100 million on March 31, 1966. It's a good thing. The population is expected to drop below 100 million by 2048 and to 86 million by 2060. The number is expected to drop again below 100 million by 2048, to around 86 million by 2060. That means that March 31 will be a busy day for all of you.

By the way, it has nothing to do with March 31st, but it seems that the KISS Ukiyoe that I introduced in the Pop Art Showdown has appeared in Japanese textbooks.

KISS Ukiyoe "Kissing Four Great Heads" published in a Japanese junior high school art textbook

It seems to be an introduction to the "print" technique, but is this KISS Ukiyo-e a real print? I thought they were just designed to look like that, but I guess not.

Oh, and I heard that March 31st is Mr. Santayo Viper's birthday. Happy birthday to him!
