Monthly Shōnen Jump
was a shōnen manga magazine which was published monthly in Japan by Shueisha from 1970 to 2007 under the ''Jump'' line of magazines. It was the sister magazine to '' Weekly Shōnen Jump''. History The ''Monthly Shōnen Jump'' magazine started as a spin-off issue of ''Weekly Jump'' called ''Bessatsu Shōnen Jump''. The second spin-off issue was called ''Monthly Shōnen Jump'', which caught on and became its own separate independent manga magazine. Shōnen manga magazines in Japan in the 1980s focused on bishōjo characters, and ''Monthly Shōnen Jump'' stood out due to the many product and toy tie-ins it had during that period and into the 1990s. An off-shoot, ''Hobby's Jump'', was published for 16 issues from 1983 to 1988. Another spin-off ''Go!Go! Jump'' was a collaboration between its sister magazine ''Weekly Jump'' and ''Monthly Jump''; it was published in 2005 and was only published once.

Passacaglia Op
The passacaglia (; ) is a musical form that originated in early seventeenth-century Spain and is still used today by composers. It is usually of a serious character and is often based on a bass-ostinato and written in triple metre. Origin The term passacaglia ( es, pasacalle; french: passacaille; Italian: ''passacaglia'', ''passacaglio'', ''passagallo'', ''passacagli'', ''passacaglie'') derives from the Spanish ''pasar'' (to walk) and ''calle'' (street). It originated in early 17th-century Spain as a strummed interlude between instrumentally accompanied dances or songs. Despite the form's Spanish roots (confirmed by references in Spanish literature of the period), the first written examples of passacaglias are found in an Italian source dated 1606. These pieces, as well as others from Italian sources from the beginning of the century, are simple, brief sequences of chords outlining a cadential formula. The passacaglia was redefined in the late 1620s by Italian composer Girolamo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mizu Cinema
Godai are the five elements in Japanese Buddhist thought of earth (''chi''), water (''sui''), fire (''ka''), wind (''fu''), and void (''ku''). The concept is related to Buddhist Mahābhūta and came over China from India. The Japanese Buddhist concept of '' gogyo,'' which stems from Chinese '' wuxing,'' is distinguishable from ''godai'' by the fact that the functional phases of wood and metal within ''gogyo'' are replaced by the formative elements of void and the wind (air) in ''godai''. ''Godai'' is attributed to esoteric Japanese Buddhism during the eleventh century CE in relation to the idea of ''gorin'' (the "five wheels" or the "five rings"). ''Godai'' and ''gorin'' are also seen within the practice of ''ninjutsu'', where these principles became an essential aspect of the esoteric ninja teachings (the '' ninpo-mikkyo''); whereas the theory of ''gogyo'' moved into the functional theory of traditional Japanese medicine and exoteric Buddhism.
