That may be Gina, but not from that movie, I just watched it the other night.

The style of weapon and the girl's more modern hairstyle and uniform are visual cues that this is not from the Imperial Japan period. It looks like a still from a "sukeban" ("girl boss") or similar film, possibly from the late 70s or early 80s.

"Sukeban" films were a briefly popular genre in the early 70s featuring delinquent high school girls, mirroring a concurrent social trend in uniformed high school girls hanging out with their gang-member boyfriends. Sukeban wore long skirts and frequently toted about their kendo practice swords and engaged in anti-social behavior such as glue-sniffing and shoplifting. The real life sukeban grew out of this phase and are now all middle-aged, but the idea continues to crop up in movies even today.

Generally speaking, whenever you see a still of a Japanese high school girl in a long skirt wielding a weapon- even one as over the top as this- it's more than likely sukeban or inspired by it.

And now you a little bit more about Japan.

... thank you, in excess, trivial pursuit guy ...

Cuba this week concluded two events, one looking back, and one - ostensibly - looking forward. The 50-year anniversary of the Bay of Pigs invasion was observed with parades and speeches. Victory in the three-day war against a covert US operation to overthrow Fidel Castro, the then-new leader of revolutionary Cuba, is celebrated every year. But 50 years on, a stagnant economy and calls for political reform from a younger generation were an undercurrent during the first party congress in 14 years. What real change will come, and when, remains to be seen. Collected here are some archival images, scenes from the congress and political process, and daily life on the island. -- Lane Turner

Why can't everything I learn come with a cute girl and a weapon?
