( Super Sick Visuals Behind the Cut )
And (no visuals, but still very damn cool):
The news that the Japanese have recently discovered a huge cache of mokkan (wooden tablets), numbering in the tens of thousands, in the ruins of the Heijô Palace. Heijôkyô, located roughly in the area of present-day Nara, was the capital of Japan from 710 to 740, and again from ca. 744 to 784. Previous finds of mokkan have served as valuable sources of documentation that have helped researchers in such pursuits as the reconstructing of the casting process for the Great Buddha at Tôdaiji. There's no telling what these tablets will reveal.
