THE ORIGIN OF RUSSIAN FERRETS
In our opinion, four general historically existing populations of domestic ferrets exist now in the world: European, Australian (including Australia and New Zealand), Russian (including all ex-soviet countries and some East-European countries) and American (Northern and Southern America). American and Australian populations came from European population in XIX century and developed mainly independently since then. Russian population of domestic ferrets also has European roots.
In the beginning of 1970s soviet fitch farms began to breed wild polecats (Mustela putorius). In 1971 a well-known zoologist Dmitry Ternovsky imported furo (albino ferrets) to USSR from Prague's Zoo. Dr. Ternovsky with other biologists cleared up the question about the origin and taxonomy of furo and proved that furo is an albino form of Mustela putorius. At the same time he began experimental crossings between furo and wild polecats, steppe polecats (Mustela eversmanni) and European minks (Mustela lutreola). You can read about these hybrids in the chapter "Hybrids between Mustelidae. Khonoriks".
As a result of crossing between furo and wild polecats he bred 3 colours of ferrets: goldish, pearl and pastel. In 1977 Soviet fitch farms began to breed these colours for fur.
In the beginning of 1980s ferrets got some popularity as pets, but soviet government promulgated a law against keeping and breeding fur-bearing animals by private persons. The object of this law was to prevent illegal small fitch farms. When Perestroika began the law was cancelled and people started to pay attention to ferrets again.
Till the middle of 1990s a very few people have kept ferrets. Sudden increase of popularity of ferrets as pets began in 1999-2003. People bought them in fitch farms and in pet markets; there were not enough small breeders at that time. According to our data by August 2005 55% of all ferrets were rescued from fitch farms, 45% originated from small breeders (30% in the first, 10% in the second and 5% - in the 3rd generation). Overwhelming majority of ferret owners and small breeders are concentrated in Moscow and S.-Petersburg, but also there are a few located in Kaliningrad, Samara, Khabarovsk, Saratov, Novosibirsk.
Distinction of Russian ferrets
In comparison with American and European ferrets, Russian ferrets are bigger (body weight of a male reaching 1.8-3.2 kg), have more bushy fur and other body proportions. We haven't data yet about the life span of our animals, because in general ferrets are kept as pets no longer than 4-6 years. We also have no data about frequency of occurrence of different diseases, but it is already known that adrenal disease is very rare in the Russian population.

As a child, I always looked forward to Christmas. We used to celebrate it on Christmas Day. We'd run down the stairs, see all the presents under the tree, and we'd thank Mama and Daddy for gifts. I don't recall Mama and Daddy ever giving any acknowledgement to Santa Claus for the presents. Then one Christmas Eve, we all went to sleep. At midnight, the door to our room burst open and Daddy screamed, "It's Christmas! It's Christmas!" Of course, we were all disoriented having just gone to the bed maybe three or four hour earlier. From that day on, we celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve. Although now, it's in the evening around eight or so. My sisters and I compete to give my nephew the best gift. We sing, talk, and have a great time.
I have very pleasant memories of the holiday. As a child, the best part about Christmas was waiting for it. The anticipation, the mystery, added to the delicious feeling.
Others wait for Christmas with dread. If anything, they want the holiday to come and go as quickly as possible. The season holds memories of loved ones who are no longer there. The bright lights, the songs, the music which some may enjoy only adds salt to an open wound. How can they survive 'the most wonderful time of the year' with a gaping hole in their heart?

We often do not have the clarity to perceive God's messages to us personally, or to the world; it is often as if we are sleeping. We acknowledge the blessing of clarity that comes through Torah that keeps our minds sharp and allows us to catch God's messages and allows us to understand them.
The remainder of the blessing is a request for the things we need to maintain that clarity.

I was in Sines, Portugal with Antonio Machado (our host, who set up everything for the gathering: thanks very much to him for all) for a PMC gathering, with Paul Harriman, Mark Harris, Duncan and Denise Foster and Ferdinand Strixner. It was a very great and peacefull time, exchanging about our instruments and playing music all together.

Chungtang Monastery is a Nyingma institution in northern Sikkim. It was first established as a Barawa Kagyu monastery by Konchok Gyeltsen in the seventeenth century and was converted in 1788, apparently after the local people rebelled against the head lama. It was rebuilt in 1968, using wood from the original monastery, and a statue of Konchok Gyeltsen was placed on the main altar in the 1980s. A small stūpa above the monastery honors its original founder.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeat Las Vegas Raiders in last NFL Regular Season Game to Lock in Home Field Advantage throughout AFC Playoffs
Chiefs Secure Home Field Advantage
Recommended sportsbooks
Posted by DavidGreen
The defensive tackle of the Kansas City Chiefs, Chris Jones, concluded the 2022 - 2023 NFL regular season with an amazing performance. He managed to sack the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback, Jarrett Stidham, 2 and a half times last Saturday night, which puts Jones at a total of 15.5 - sacks for the 2022 - 2023 NFL regular season, which should definitely place him in the top – 5 in the league for sacks when it is all said and done for this current football season.
Although Jones has be excited for his outstanding performance on the gridiron this season, but that is not what brought a smile to Chris' face following the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders with a final score of 31 to 13 resulting in the Kansas City Chiefs securing the AFC's number 1 playoff seed giving them a bye in the first week of the 2022 - 2023 NFL playoffs and home field advantage throughout the NFL postseason as well.
"We came in with intention, knowing what's at stake and what we were fighting for,'' the Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones explained. "We were able to win the game, most importantly. So, heading into the playoffs, we get the bye week.''
The Kansas City Chiefs Playoff Perspective
The now number 1 - seeded Kansas City Chiefs who went 14 and 3 throughout the entirety of the 2022 - 2023 NFL regular season will be the AFC's only franchise to get the 1st - round bye in the 2022 - 2023 NFL playoffs. The Kansas City Chiefs will start their NFL playoff run with a divisional round battle against an unknown opponent at this time 2 - weeks from now at Arrowhead Stadium located in Kansas City, Missouri.
Should the Kansas City Chiefs advance to the AFC championship game, home field advantage is not fully - guaranteed following the decision of the National Football League as they chose to change some of their NFL playoff seeding rules due to the occurrence last Monday night when Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in cardiac arrest eventually canceling the Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals Monday Night Football game.
So essentially the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals, who are both AFC contenders in the upcoming NFL postseason, have played one less game than every other team in the league during this 2022 - 2023 NFL regular season. It's a very controversial situation.
The AFC championship game under particular circumstances may be played at a neutral site. But it would be played Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City if the 12 and 3 Buffalo Bills end up losing this Sunday to the New England Patriots, of course under assumption that the Kansas City Chiefs are able to advance.
At least for now, the Kansas City Chiefs are very happy to receive the playoff bye week in order to rest up and prepare for their initial 2022 - 2023 NFL playoff game. The Kansas City Chiefs have not had a break in the season ever since week - 8 of the regular season, in other words in over 2 - months ago.
Head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, Andy Reid, disclosed that the Kansas City Chiefs plan on practicing some during their upcoming playoff bye week, but he also wants to give his players and staff some time off as well.
"Just take a step back and get yourself where you feel stronger and healthier,'' the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, Andy Reid, relayed to all of his players as they prepare for the 2022 - 2023 NFL playoffs. "You still gotta take care of business. Our guys understand that.''
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, is yet to play an AFC playoff game in any other stadium than his home stadium of Arrowhead. All 9 of his previous postseason games that led up to a Super Bowl have been played in Kansas City, Missouri at the historic and legendary Arrowhead Stadium.
That arena for a sporting event is no like nothing else. The Kansas City Chiefs are 7 and 2 in those 9 - NFL playoff games with Mahomes at the quarterback position, and the 2 - loses both occurring in overtimes. That is a pretty solid history that should only breed confidence for the Kansas City Chiefs as they get ready enter the postseason of the National Football League once again this year.
Mahomes revealed the Kansas City Chiefs take the time to set 3 - main goals each season when they all get together for the start of the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp. The 1st one this year was to win the AFC West championship title, which the Kansas City Chiefs achieved this NFL season for the 7th - consecutive year with their week - 15 regular season win over the Houston Texans. The Kansas City Chiefs 2nd - main goal is to get the AFC's top playoff seed (which they just accomplished). The Kansas City Chiefs 3rd - main goal is obviously to win the Super Bowl this year.
The Kansas City Chiefs 6 and 0 record versus AFC West opponents during this 2022 - 2023 NFL regular season has done nothing but fuel their rise to climb to the top of the AFC. Mahomes is 27 and 3 versus divisional rivals throughout his young and illustrious NFL career, and Patrick is 16 and 0 on the road against them. He is a special quarterback that continues to amaze and entertain us all as we continue to watch his spectacular career in the National Football League unfold in front of our eyes.
"Something that was instilled with me right when I got here is we were gonna focus on the AFC West opponents,'' the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, stated. "We believe we have one of the best divisions if not the best division in football, so we know if we can handle business in the AFC West, it's going to put us in the position to be where we want to be at the end of the year.''
The Kansas City Chiefs have now been able to advance to the AFC championship game in each of the previous 4 - NFL seasons. The Chiefs are the AFC's number 1 - seed for the 3rd - time in the course of the past 5 - years.
"Chiefs top Raiders in finale, clinch top seed, bye in AFC", Adam Teicher, espn.com, January 7, 2023.

For most of us, the holiday season is synonymous with goodies galore. They seem to be everywhere we turn, from the office to the candy bowl at the local hardware store. Festivities and family get-togethers are what make this time of year so meaningful and a holiday party without multiple goodie platters is like the 4th of July without fireworks.

Q: set rounding off for Double How to set rounding off with 1.5 , but I know we can do this using 1.6.Please give your guidance.
I want to get double value without round off its decimal like this.
I couldn't use the roundingmode with 1.5.
   double d1 = 1234567812342134.45678567;
   DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat(".00000");
   df.setMaximumFractionDigits(5);
   //df.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.DOWN);
   System.out.println(df.format(d1));

Expected output :
1234567812342134.45678
Now output :
1234567812342134.50000

A: The problem is your double d1 = 1234567812342134.45678567;
It is too big for double to store to that degree of accuracy, if you remove 5 digits from either end you shall get the rounding you're after; your DecimalFormat related code is otherwise fine.

Nature continuously gives us insights into its absolute perfection. If you look more closely, you get a vague understanding of the difference between "complex" and "complicated." Something might look simple at first glance or seem to work very easily, but incredible things can be hidden beneath the surface. Expect the unexpected – both in nature and when you hold the CL Curio in your hands for the first time. With these binoculars, we have worked with Marc Newson on the art of translating exceptional optics into a compact and timeless design. Considered one of the most influential designers of his generation, Marc Newson tells us about this truly remarkable collaboration.
CL Curio 7x21€770.00
Marc Newson on his relationship with binoculars:"I've loved binoculars since I was a child! And I still love them today because I think they're among the most future-proof objects that exist."
Marc Newson on the links between design and optics:"SWAROVSKI OPTIK had a very detailed brief with all the technical specifications for the product and a very clear idea of what was needed. When I came to the factory in Tyrol and saw how these objects are made, how everything works, I understood that their expertise really is second to none. I instantly understood that I was working with the very best. I was also delighted by how my design concept was realized. This project appealed to me on so many levels – and not least because I will always use these binoculars in future, and they make the perfect gift for friends."
"My design language is about simplicity, functionality, and – I'd like to think – has a certain uniqueness."Marc Newson
Marc Newson on his fascination with optics: "In a way, it's almost like alchemy. 'Optics' is something that's really hard to grasp, and that's what I love about it: the ability to see things in nature that you couldn't otherwise see. It's a magical phenomenon, that never ceases to delight me."
Marc Newson on designing the CL Curio:"We essentially redesigned the entire housing – it looks very, very simple. But, like all things that appear to be simple, technically it is incredibly complex. SWAROVSKI OPTIK has done an extraordinary job of producing it. The CL Curio is discreet, quite subtle, and very functional, which I hope demonstrates my particular style of design."
Marc Newson on the magic of analog: "There's something incredibly romantic about working on products like binoculars because they're largely timeless. But – just like mechanical watches, for example – they are probably even more contemporary than we know. You have a pair of binoculars for your entire life."
World-renowned industrial designer Marc Newson has been described as one of the most influential designers of his generation. Born in Sydney, Australia, he has lived and worked in Japan, France, and the United Kingdom, where he currently resides. He has worked with brands such as Apple, Louis Vuitton, and Montblanc and is responsible for some of the most iconic contemporary design pieces. Marc Newson has received numerous awards and has been included in TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2005.
In an exclusive collaboration with SWAROVSKI OPTIK, Marc Newson has designed the CL Curio, a truly unique pair of binoculars with a design‐forward look and feel. A key point of focus for Newson was the seamless and clean looking bridge design.

How many times have our congregations heard sermons from the first five books of the New Testament – but not heard sermons from the first five books of the Old Testament? How many times have they heard from Paul – but not from the Prophets?
The first six chapters of Daniel are action packed narrative, but how many stop there and skip the "hard" passages in Daniel 7-12? The opening chapters of Revelation are doable with the seven churches, perhaps even the throne of heaven in chapters 4 and 5, but who dare go to the "difficult" passages where there be dragons beyond?
There are undoubtedly many places in the Old Testament where you can stick in your thumb and pull out a plum: Genesis 12, Exodus 20, Joshua 1, Judges 16, 1 Samuel 17, 1 Kings 3, Job 1-2, Isaiah 6 (and many more which might be among your favourites). But what about the passages in between?
One of our roles as preachers is to teach the Bible to our congregations. That will include helping them to read what may be to them hard and obscure material from the Scriptures. (It may well feel hard and obscure to us too!) It will require extra effort and persistence on our part if we are actually going to open up those parts of the Bible that most of our people skip over or ignore.
This year I bit the bullet and made a beginning in Isaiah. I have known for years of the need for the congregation, let alone myself, to come to good terms with this prophet. Isaiah is after all the most quoted prophet in the New Testament, and second only to Psalms in terms of Old Testament books referred back to by New Testament writers. If we are to follow the pointers of the New Testament writers, then Christian believers need a good handle on Isaiah.
Nevertheless I have found Isaiah daunting – a K2-sized mountain for someone who runs out of breath on a small hill. But if it is hard for me – the "trained professional" – then how much harder will it be for the congregation? I have to lead them through the unfamiliar waters – which may only mean being just one step ahead of everyone else.
So we have made a beginning. Eight autumn sermons through Isaiah 1-12 with another four planned for November covering chapters 13-27. It will take a while but we can get all the way to 66 over the coming years. So far in the journey we have discovered a perspective on God recognisable to New Testament believers and yet strangely unfamiliar to many. It is a picture of God in his fierce judgment and yet also of a God whose promises offer unbridled hope.
What hard thing do you need to do in your preaching for the sake of your congregation?
Hi Paul. I've felt the same temptations (to duck the hard stuff) and the same challenge – leading to a recent series on Jeremiah – and the same results – a much bigger vision of God.
Like you, I feel strongly that we have a rsponsibility to lead our congregations in unlocking the bible, and preaching the hard stuff is a good way to help people open those glued-together pages.
One thing that has made it easier for me to do this, is length of service in one place; early in my ministry I felt I had to stick to the mountain peaks – your 'plums'. As I preached more often, and settled more firmly into harness here, I felt more confident about taking a long view and exploring the valleys and plains as well. Like you, I"ve been having this biblical conversation with the same group of people (plus many others who have come and gone and come again) for over 10 years now, and feel really comfortable about taking it slowly and unpacking the depths of the treasure chest.
If someone is in a position with the expectation that they will be gone again within seven years, maybe within three, then I think it is much harder to take the time to draw the big biblical picture.
I recently had the job as part of doing the compass overview of covering From Solomon to End of the Old Testament in 40 minutes. I found myself with the Mission Impossible soundtrack cycling around and around in my head. However as I prepared I found myself wanting to spend time on a series looking at Elijah and Elisha, exploring Daniel,wanting to explore the calls of Isaiah and Jeremiah and other prophets….We neglect the old testament at our peril. Another Book I have written poetry on and preached on is Nehemiah, well worth a series.
Thanks for a good reminder Paul. We've recently enjoyed a topical-slash-textual series on the Song of Songs/Solomon, and two of the darkest Psalms, 22 & 88. I was pleasantly surprised how fruitful and even encouraging these two Psalms were as our Lord is One who has walked not away from or around, but through the darkest moment in human history – the Cross. 22 is the 'cross' psalm, and I realised that 88 is the 'gethsemane' psalm. So I heartily chime in with you – do the 'hard bits' of Scripture!
Encouraging to see someone else struggling with these how-would-I-handle-this passages … and further along the way. Can you tell me (for example) how you would deal with, say, Psalm 58 or 137 in the context of a series on 'selection from the Psalms'.
We are confronted/offended by the "delight" of the righteous in the judgement of the wicked.
These are great psalms to preach because that sense of "unease" with these texts will be shared by our congregations – and we need to help them come to terms with such passages.
1. Explain the context – the historical events, as best we can discern them, which have given rise to these passages.
The author speaks from the perspective of the victims of gross injustice and violence and we need to understand that both intellectually but also emotionally.
So for example: The survivors of a concentration want the full weight of justice to be brought to bear on the brutal and sadistic camp guards (perhaps, a firing squad); nearly every action-flick sets up the antagonist so that the audience sees it as "just" that the hero kills them in the end.
Those of us who enjoy relativity peaceful lives have to try to feel what these victims feel before we so quickly pass judgement on them. If we lived through what they lived through, would our response be so different from theirs?
2. Recognise the genre of biblical passage – in these cases Psalms.
As poetry they are considered, crafted and shaped and will have rhetorical power and hyperbole built into. I don't want to duck the many narrative passages that describe in gruesome detail what was actually done – but the Psalms are certainly aiming at stirring the emotions. Even more than that they are giving the people of God corporate language to respond to injustice – this isn't David's private journal published for all the world – these are Psalms for the corporate worship of the people of God.
I would want to ask if we as the people of God today we are emotional stirred by injustice and oppression? Are we righteously angry with oppressors? Do we pray that God would destroy the wicked? Is that not half of what it means when we pray: "Your kingdom come."? It will be a coming of salvation but also a coming of judgement.
3. See these passages in the context of the whole Bible and where the plot-line ultimately goes.
There is a continuity / discontinuity between the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Climatically, we see cruelty, violence, injustice and murder being perpetrated against the Lord Jesus. He suffers with us and, more significantly, for us. In Christ we see that God knows experientially both justice and injustice. That should give us pause before we "accuse" God of being harsh.
The OT themes of war and violence seem to be taken up in the NT in terms of the demonic and evil on a cosmic scale. The language of conquest and battle is spiritualised, not in the sense that it is unreal, but rather everything is taken to the next level. Christians are called to wage war against sin, the devil and the corrupting forces of the world. We are not called to personal vengeance.
The concluding picture of the Bible in Revelation is of a coming judgement that is fierce and final. And that which is feared the most is "the wrath of the Lamb." (Rev 6:16). The real Jesus Christ of the Scriptures is both Saviour and Judge. We must come to know, trust and love the God who is there, not the pacifist god of our imaginations.
So these "tough" passages force us to examine our doctrine of God. If I don't see the world as God reveals it and himself in the Bible, then it is me who is out of touch with reality.
hi, love the challenge Paul, and your right if we don't tackle them how can we expect our people to do the same, here at Nativity we have been this year looking at some of the harder scriptures, with about 4 months in Exodus… amazing how much the lectionary chooses to miss out. And 3 months in Revelation, skipping the first 3 chapters, and tackling some of the big issues presented by preaching in a region full of Barry Smith conspiracy theorist fans. It was great for me personaly to wrestle with these texts in understanding the bigger picture of God, but also for our people in a time when the economy is in turmoil, our church has been through a very rough past 6 years and people are wondering "what's the point?" Seems to me that stories of identity, and encouragements to perserver speak loudest in times like this. Not sure what we will do next year, but I am keen to tackle some of the minor prophets.
Howse Joy and the kids by the way?
Paul – your sustained engagement here with one of the hardest issues we face is masterly.

From your experience of this part of the exam, what tricks do the examiners use tothe questions more difficult? What things can help you tell a right or wrong answer is coming, eliminate wrong options, choose the right answer and check your answers?
Decide if the things below are more of a help (+) or more of a hindrance (-).
Students sometimes have to listen out for whether something is in the past, present or future.
Contrasting phrases ("but (in fact)", "however", etc) often help indicate a right or wrong option.
How things are said, especially intonation, can sometimes help guess the right option and/ or eliminate wrong options.
If you are guessing, it might be worth crossing off an option just because you heard the exact same words (rather than just something that means the same thing) on the recording. However, the examiners obviously know students do this as they sometimes do include key words from the correct option on the recording.
It is absolutely impossible to guess which of the options is less likely before hearing the recording.
It is often only one part of a wrong option which is different from what is said in the recording, e.g. if the options says "She is going to have her haircut tomorrow" it could be "she" "going to", "have her haircut" or "tomorrow" which are different, with the recording saying "My husband had a trim", "I had all my hair chopped off", "I'm going to cut my daughter's hair tomorrow" or "I'm going to the hairdresser's this afternoon".
Synonyms are more common in the correct answers than the wrong options, so students will sometimes be able to guess correctly just by listening out for phrases that mean the same as something in one of the options.
The correct option almost never has the same words as the recording. It is usually an expression which means the same thing, but it could also be just an example of that thing or even other things such as related vocabulary.
The other wrong option is usually a slightly different topic to what is said in the recording but often including some of the same words, e.g. the option says "She had problems with her leg" and the recording says "I'm not sure if I have the sea legs for it".
The recording almost always contains something related to both of the wrong options, meaning it should be possible to cross them both off and just have the right answer left.
The three options are not necessarily in the same order as the recording.
There is sometimes more than one hint of whether something is the right or wrong answer. For example a wrong option sometimes is both in the wrong time (past, present and future) and has a slightly different topic, or there is always two or more words related to the topic of the option with questions like "Where are the people going? A: a football match".
Usually, one wrong option is the opposite of what is in the recording, e.g. the option says "She is happy about her new job" and the recording says "I'm not very satisfied with my work". As with this example, the wrong options are also sometimes written with different language to the recording.
Design questions using those things to make them more difficult and more manageable to test another group with. Your teacher will give you recordings or transcripts, or ask you to make up the scripts too.

A fine French violin bow by Auguste Barbé.
A beautiful and rare French master violin bow by Auguste Barbé, certified by J.F. Raffin in Paris.
Auguste Barbé was a highly respected bow maker - who worked exclusively for Gand & Bernardel.
His beautiful bows are estimated & equal to those of F.N Voirin.
His work is highly praised, and admired by many professionals and collectors..
Very nice ebony frog with pearl eyes and a fine three part screw; a,d a very well executed,and elegant head.
The total length of the stick is around 72.7 cm and the weight of the bow is around 58 gr.
The bow is straight and has a good curve, no cracks.
Auguste Barbé (1853-1902) was a French Archetier (bowmaker). Mathias Théophile Auguste Barbé son of Dominique Barbé and first cousin of Télesphore Barbé, completed his apprenticeship in Mirecourt, presumably under C.N. BAZIN as did many of his contemporaries. Around 1880 Barbé began to work for GAND & BERNARDEL frères before joining their Parisian workshop in 1886, the year during which the firm became GAND & BERNARDEL. Auguste BARBÉ spent 10 years with this important and influential firm, developing a style which came close to that of François Nicolas Voirin. In around 1896/1897 Barbé returned to Mirecourt where he opened his own workshop at 1 rue Chanot.
"His work is highly praised, and admired by professionals and collectors alike. His best work has been mistaken for François Nicolas Voirin, it is that good."

PRAYER: FIGMENTS OF NAGASAKI – Piety of Catholic Survivors of the Atomic Bomb

Four Nagasaki survivors praying in bombed-out cathedral
Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 11/8/21 – One unusual film included in the lineup for the 2021 Asian World Film Festival is "Prayer: Figments of Nagasaki" (Japan, 2021), directed by Katsuya Matsumura, who is generally known for his violent thriller-horror film series "All Night Long." However, this film marks a major departure from his usual fare, giving us a story about the aftermath of the destruction of Nagasaki by the atomic bomb, as related in retrospect by several Catholic survivors from the city. "Figments of Nagasaki" is, in many ways, a "prayer" against war and what wars do to innocent civilians. It is 75 years since the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August, leading to the end of World War Two. The recorded death tolls are estimates, but it is thought that about 140,000 of Hiroshima's 350,000 population were killed in the blast, and at least 74,000 people died in Nagasaki. The nuclear radiation released by the bombs caused thousands more people to die from radiation sickness in the weeks, months and years that followed. Those who survived the bombings are known as "hibakusha." Survivors faced a horrifying aftermath in the cities, including psychological trauma.
Nagasaki destroyed by atomic bomb
Katsuya Matsumura has made the center of his film the famous Urakami Cathedral in Nagasaki, which was once the largest Catholic church in Asia. Urakami Cathedral, known as St. Mary's Cathedral, was built in Nagasaki City by French missionary priests in the 1920s for the large Japanese Catholic community in the suburb of Urakami in Nagasaki. The atomic bomb exploded 500 meters above Urakami Valley, instantly turning the entire region into an inferno. In the church, parishioners were going to confession in preparation for the Feast of the Assumption. At the moment of impact there were 24 believers and two clergymen inside. They were killed instantly. The church ruin burned well until nightfall. Of the 12,000 parishioners in Urakami, 8,500 did not survive the day.

Matsumura's film is partially based on history but he adds a set of intertwined stories about Japanese Catholic parishioners who were part of the congregation of Urakami Cathedral. He moves the story to 1957 and the post-war era of Japan when the city authorities were trying to decide whether to demolish the remains of the ruined cathedral. In the rubble are the remains of broken statuary from the church. We first see a man who appears to be hunchbacked carrying something heavy under his overcoat, as he enters a noisy bar with a brothel upstairs. He goes to see a woman (Reiko Takashima) who we assume is a prostitute, but we later learn that she is also a nurse working in a local hospital, dealing with patients suffering from radiation burns many years after the bombing of Nagasaki. She is the lead organizer of a group of Catholics who are trying to "steal" the broken pieces of a stone statue of the Virgin Mary from the ruined Urakami Cathedral and reassemble the statue in her room in the red-light bar district of a partially rebuilt Nagasaki.

In the same bar, we see a young woman who is selling books of poetry as well as several tough female prostitutes, a man suffering from PTSD who likes poetry, a tough gangster in a white trench coat, and a well-dressed older man who is on the City Council. All these characters will come together later in the meandering tale that mixes their lives in 1957 with the time right after the atomic bomb destroyed Nagasaki. The film weaves together their seemingly disconnected stories but the real historical tale is equally interesting.
Atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki
On October 9, 1945 (2 months after the bomb hit the city), Kaemon Noguchi, a discharged Japanese soldier and Catholic priest, entered the ruins of Urakami Cathedral to pray. He hoped to find a tangible memento of the church of his youth, to take it to his Hokkaido Trappist Monastery. After more than an hour of searching the debris, Noguchi sat down in the rubble to pray. Then, suddenly, he noticed the eyeless features of the Madonna, staring at him blindly from the dust. Overwhelmed, Noguchi took the scorched wooden image with him to his monastery, where he kept it for 30 years. On August 1975, Kaemon Noguchi traveled to Nagasaki to return the image of the Madonna. He gave it to Professor Yakichi Kataoka, who kept the image at Junshin Women's College for 15 years.

In the year 1990, Takeshi Kawazoe, head priest of the rebuilt Urakami Cathedral, wrote an article, mentioning it was fortunate that a Japanese soldier discovered the head of the statue of Virgin Mary. He hoped to discover the name of the soldier. Father Noguchi wrote a letter to the church explaining what happened. On August 1998, Mr. Yasuhiko Sata read a news story about the Madonna and visited Nagasaki to see the statue. He unexpectedly found the Madonna displayed amongst other relics in the Atom Bomb Museum. He convinced the church that the Madonna was not a mere memento of the nuclear holocaust but a holy object that should be returned to the altar. It was returned to the Urakami Cathedral in April 2000 and placed in special chapel.
Trappist priest who actually saved the head of Mary
It so happens that the atomic bomb did not entirely destroy everything in the church. A stone crucifix and two statues over the main entrance of the church survived. Today they grace the rebuilt Urakami Church. Two more, larger statues survived with minor damage. It seems that film director Katsuya Matsumura used the now legendary head of Mary as the impetus for his story about these intrepid Catholic believers in Nagasaki after World War II. There are two women who see the head of Mary and go to the ruined Cathedral to pray often and it is their piety that motivates the others.

It is helpful to note a few things about the city of Nagasaki and the reason for its sizeable population of Catholics. Shintoism and Buddhism are the majority religions of Japan. Catholicism arrived with Francis Xavier in 1549. This was the beginning of what is now known as Japan's "Age of Christianity." On the map, Nagasaki is one of the southernmost seaport cities in Japan and hence the place where the Portuguese Jesuits first preached Christianity in the 16th century. Persecution of Christians started in 1587 and the religion was formally banned in the early 17th Century. The Catholic community in Nagasaki survived underground for 250 years.
When France and Japan signed a trade agreement in 1859, the foreign community in Nagasaki was allowed to build a church: Oura Cathedral. The local Catholics made themselves known to the French priests. In 1865 the Nagasaki Catholics built four secret chapels. In 1868 persecution of Christians was resumed and more than 3,000 Catholics from the Nagasaki area were sent into exile. The exiles returned after the lifting of the ban on Christianity in 1873. In the early 1880s there were about 5,000 Catholics in the Urakami area. In 1880 the property where the church was to be built was acquired. On August 15th 1880, Mass was offered for the first time in a temporary chapel.
Freedom of religion was introduced in Japan with the constitution of 1889. In 1891, the Japanese Catholic Church was granted its own religious hierarchy. In the year 1914, the Urakami Cathedral (also known as St. Mary's Cathedral) in Nagasaki City was built by Missions Etrangeres de Paris (a French religious order) and officially consecrated. In the original church, there was a wooden altar piece and the highlight of the altar piece was a wooden Madonna, inspired by Murillo's painting of the Immaculate Conception. It was the head of this statue of the Madonna that survived the atomic bomb.
The film "Prayer: Figments of Nagasaki" seems far afield from the usual violent thrillers made by Katsuya Matsumura. Matsumura, who is 58 years old, learned filmmaking under the tutelage of Nobuhiko Obayashi, whose final film "Labyrinth of Cinema" (2019) is a powerful anti-war statement centered around the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945. Matsumura's film was screened at the Japanese Film Festival in Los Angeles at the beginning of October 2021.
