Ivy Square
The Bikan Historical Quarter, known for its white-walled buildings, is also a stage for industrial tourism. Kurashiki prospered as a domain town for cotton and rice distribution, but with the advent of the Meiji era, it underwent a revival through the spinning industry. Kurashiki Spinning Mill was established on the site of the former magistrate's office. Ivy Square, developed by redeveloping the main factory, has been transformed into a multifaceted cultural facility. The site, adorned with red bricks entwined with ivy, houses workshops where pottery can be experienced, hotels, and the Kurashiki Spinning Memorial Museum, which utilizes the original cotton warehouse from its founding days to convey the industrial history of that time to modern audiences.
白壁のイメージが強い美観地区も産業観光の舞台です。綿花や米の集散地として栄えた天領の町倉敷でしたが、明治になると紡績業で再興が図られ、代官所跡に倉敷紡績所が建設されました。 本社工場を再開発し、複合文化施設として再生したのがアイビースクエア。ツタ(=アイビー)のからまる赤いレンガが目をひく敷地内には、陶芸が体験できる工房やホテルなどがあり、創業当時の原綿倉庫を利用した倉紡記念館は、当時の産業の歩みを現代に伝えています。

"Hyperart Thomasson" is an artistic concept proposed by Genpei Akasegawa and others.
"Hyperart Thomasson" is an artistic concept proposed by Genpei Akasegawa and others. It refers to useless objects that are attached to real estate and preserved as beautifully as if they were being exhibited. These objects, while existing as if they were art, are more artistic in their uselessness and non-practicality than actual art. These are called "hyperart," and those attached to real estate are specifically referred to as "Thomassons." Some of these objects may have once been useful, while for others, the original intent behind their creation is unknown. No one intentionally creates hyperart as hyperart; only those who appreciate it exist.

Batman's Opening and Closing Thema #Batman #バットマン
Batman (English: Batman) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comics published by DC Comics. It is also the title of comics, films, dramas, and animated works.
Overview
Created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, Batman made his first appearance in "Detective Comics #27" published in May 1939 by National Allied Publications (later known as DC Comics).
Due to contractual issues, only Kane was initially credited and compensated as the creator. However, in September 2015, DC Entertainment announced that Finger would receive recognition and compensation as a co-creator of Batman. Negotiations between Finger's family and DC led to him being credited as a creator for the first time in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and the second season of "Gotham." Batman comics were then labeled as "Created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger."
