From the bakuto was also tradition to mark themselves with tattoos all over his body (called irezumi) and yubitsume (cut finger) as a form of repentance or as punishment.
Initially this punishment is symbolic, because the segment of the little finger is cut to make more difficult the owner's hand firmly holding the sword.
Apart from Yubitsume, below is Irezumi in naked women and Japanese women (hentai) a very artistic! :) (More ...)

Everyone knows that money opens doors, but sometimes even if you have the necessary funds, things may still be out of reach.
This is the case with the new Chinese computer tablet called the Red Pad.
According to the media, the public will not have access to this device. Only those connected with the Bureau of Information Industry will be able to purchase this new computer tablet.
The Red Pad is not only elitist, but also pricey, selling for $1,600 dollars from a company whose name isn’t at all publicized and whose official website is no longer accessible.
Originally, the device was slated for the Chinese public market to anyone who could afford to buy it, but the backlash was so strong that the manufacturers changed their target audience.
Known as the “mobile business platform” for high-ranking officials, the Red Pad offers access to internal documents, statements of top leaders and a comprehensive database of government contact information.
Aside from the special features mentioned above, the 9.7-inch Red Pad is similar to any other tablet with its A9 dual core processor, Wi-Fi and 3G support, 16 GB of flash storage and 10-inch touchscreen display.
Chinese netizens have voiced their own bitter perspectives on the issue. “Government officials can afford the tablet since only they have access to state funds and illegal sources of income gained through their powerful positions,” wrote one anonymous blogger.
Red has its own significance in China. As the chosen color of the national Communist Party, it connotes patriotism.
Repercussions were many on China’s largest online shopping platform, Taobao. They were featuring a Black Pad to consumers for $160 and the promise that it beat the Red Pad preferred by corrupt officials.

TI often think to myself, “Why can’t I play video games while I urinate?” Sure, I could sit down, but that’s just time wasted.
Thank God Sega exists.
Set to debut in Japanese bars (BRILLIANT!), Sega has introduced the Toylet, a console that allows you to play games, using your urine to control the games.
So what type of games might you find yourself playing when you use the Toylet? How about “Mannekin Pis,” which measures the pressure of your stream? Or try “Graffiti Eraser,” which compels you to remove paint by pointing a hose in different directions.
Of course, in true Japanese fashion, it wouldn’t be a video game if it didn’t involve looking up women’s skirts. “The Northern Wind, the Sun and Me” has the player using wind to blow up a girl’s skirt. The strength of your stream determines how hard the wind blows.
Finally, the Toylet brings you tried and true multiplayer action. “Battle! Milk from Nose” has the strength of your stream going up against the strength of the prior urinater’s stream, measured with milk coming out of your nose. The winner knocks the other opponent out of the ring with a torrent of nostril milk spray.
This needs to be in bars EVERYWHERE.

Innovation and creativity are two forces that have reigned supreme for more than four decades at the annual International Consumer Electronics Show.
Consumer electronics is a global industry, and the show represents a fusion between consumer technology and the next wave of innovations.
Owned and produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), more than 2,000 of its corporate members take part in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and integration of consumer electronics products.
All profits from CES are reinvested into industry services.
More than 3,000 exhibitors attended the show, and although there were many mainstream conventional devices, there were also a few offbeat gadgets displayed at the Las Vegas show earlier this month.
Consider the Solowheel, pictured above. This motorized, seatless unicycle has no frame or saddle. The rider is kept upright with footboards that fold out from the wheel, a gyroscope that maintains orientation and sincere prayer.
Motion on the Solowheel is achieved when the rider stands on the footboards and straddles the wheel as if it were a saddle. A speed of 10 mph is achieved via the wheel’s battery-powered electric motor.
The Solowheel weighs in at 26 pounds because of its rechargeable battery, which gives it has a 15- to 20-mile range. Although more compact, it weighs about the same as a folding bike.
Ultimately, one could consider it a sort of Segway with one wheel.
Shane Chen invented the Solowheel, which is sold by Inventist LLC for $1,800.
The Haier Brain Wave TV Headset can be used to control a TV. The wireless, mind-reading headset has one sensing pad that is held to the user’s forehead and another that clips onto an earlobe.
Although innovative, this gadget has been criticized for its limitations in the mind-reading category. It actually measures only brain waves.
The set is limited, as it can only be used to sense if the user desires up or down movements. The remote is required for any other direction.
Haier claims it is developing a prototype that will allow the user to change channels by merely thinking about it.
Currently, this headset is selling in China, but the company does not expect to market it in the United States.
Expected to go on sale in April, foam fighters represent a growing trend of toy companies linking their products with smart phone and tablet games, creating an amusing blend of the virtual and the real world (and money for all).
Made of two sheets of thin foam, Foam Fighters are painted and shaped like famous World War II fighter planes.
For a pack of two with a stand at $10, the user can experience hours of delight tossing them in the air and flying them like paper airplanes.
When the user gets tired of doing that, he or she can attach them to a plastic arm with a suction cup that, in turn, sticks to the back of an iPhone, iPad or Android phone, right next to the camera.
Foam fighters appear across the screen, and with the help of a free downloaded app, the fighter planes can appear to be zooming across the skies, controlled by the movement of the phone or tablet.
Clever and innovative, these products have their place at the Consumer Electronics Show as prototypes that break barriers and continue to push the envelope of man’s never-ending need to explore, redefine boundaries and create.
