   if I had a penny for every time a Japanese anarchist woman tried to assassinate the Emperor, refused to show regret for it, and wrote an unapologetic memoir while in prison on the way to the death row, I would have two pennies

     vanishingly impossible I get to private property greedily own a copy of this, but I bet I could get my hands onto one by asking an inter-library loan at the Ostasienwissenschaftsbibliothek which technically I still have access to

     You can't just title the translation "Thoughts from the prison window", come on, hype it up. "Forbidden poems of an anarcha-terrorist in the death row". Technically true on all counts too

     If only there was a girl somewhere who was both an anarchist and trained in Classical Japanese and had a knack for poetry translations and was looking for a project to obssess about (opens fan in front of face)

     wait, Kaneko Fumiko's poetry collection 『獄窓に想ふ』(Thoughts from the Prison Window) was never translated to an unabridged edition??

     "But I didn’t carry out this plan because I believed it was good. I only did it because I wanted to." 🔥

     I loved this part a lot when I heard it the first time on audio at immediatism.

     "Kaneko Fumiko
     Because I Wanted To
     KANEKO FUMIKO on nihilism and why she wanted to kill the Emperor of Japan"
     https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/max-res-kaneko-fumiko-because-i-wanted-to

     "Together with her friend, partner and, before her death, husband Pak Yol, she started underground anarchist societies, published
     articles against the Japanese state and society, and, perhaps, planned to kill the Emperor Taisho and then-Crown Prince Hirohito with explosives at Hirohito’s wedding.

     This woman should be much wider known."
