I’m David. I live in Tacoma, Washington. I do square foot gardening, home automation with Home Assistant, and have too many cats.

You think you saw me behind some ferns? You just might have!

  • The legend of the ‘Hell Courtesan’ was about a beautiful courtesan, a daughter of a samurai, who was “kidnapped by his enemies and was sold to a brothel”. She started to call herself “Hell Courtesan” after an encounter with a Buddhist monk, Ikkyu Sojun, who was known for his taste for sake and prostitutes. According to the story, Ikkyū met the Hell Courtesan during one of his visits to the pleasure district. Santō Kyōden’s book from 1809, All Records of Drunken Enlightenment of Our Country, tells that she “found him dancing with a bunch of skeletons instead of being entertained by dancers and geisha. It occurred to her that he may not be an ordinary human being.” She then became his disciple and achieved enlightenment.

    So I think they might actually be punk moshers from the underworld.
