My Hero Academia is a manga and anime from Japan that made its first appearance in a 2014 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. My Hero Academia was an instant hit. Including all of the necessary elements for a successful shonen comic, mixing them up, and cooking up an excellent publication, the manga found itself a massive fan base. The story follows a modern Japanese society - with superheroes and villains. Heroes are people born with a special power called a ‘quirk’. These quirks can be anything from turning invisible to turning into a giant dragon. The heroes are diverse and relatable each with their own struggles and obstacles on the way to becoming a pro hero. On the other hand, some villains seek to do… well, bad stuff. They too are people who were born with quirks but for whatever reason decided to use their powers for bad instead of good. One such character is Tomura Shigaraki, the leader of the ‘league of villains’. One of the most interesting characters in the series, leading the opposition against the heroes. With his unique design, Tomura is a great fit for any My Hero Academia figure collection. Here are a few of the more popular variants that include the “Banpresto Figure Colosseum Vol. 4: Tomura Shigaraki”, “ArtFX J My Hero Academia Tomura Shigaraki” and the “Nendoroid Tomura Shigaraki: Villain's Edition” This piece has a mark similar to a plus sign representing the number ten (ju) in two places on the shoulder. It is smoothed both on the interior and the exterior. It also has a low edge trim. The surface is fine-grained with a red-orange color and has almost no ash on the exterior. There are some very grand visuals as these two juggernauts take swipes at each other. Re-Destro’s Quirk continues to expand on itself in dangerous ways until he amasses a natural set of armor and accesses 150% of his power. This would cause most villains or heroes to retreat, but this strength only entices Shigaraki. He even equates Re-Destro’s Quirk to the heights of One For All, yet still isn’t phased in the slightest by Re-Destro’s demonstration. Shigaraki ware (信楽焼) is a type of stoneware pottery made in Shigaraki area, Japan. The kiln is one of the Six Ancient Kilns in Japan. Although figures representing the tanuki are a popular product included as Shigaraki ware, the kiln and local pottery tradition has a long history.The end of all of this desolation is actually somewhat anticlimactic. Even though Re-Destro is completely overpowered, his submission to Shigaraki feels slightly sudden. Shigaraki’s accomplishment still resonates due to the crucial context regarding his past that’s provided, but the balance here is skewed and “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin” would benefit from slightly more time spent in the present before Re-Destro admits defeat. It’s still a satisfying conclusion to this lengthy arc, but it’s just a little surprising how brief the actual battle between Shigaraki and Re-Destro is in a series that’s so preoccupied with combat.

This ware has a rim that is turned outward. The shoulder has been smoothed horizontally. The surface contains many small stones and is orange in color. This clash of Quirks and values doesn’t result in more lost lives, but it instead culminates in the birth of the Paranormal Liberation Front, a supergroup of villains that’s formed from the ashes of these two antagonistic organizations. Past alliances between enemies have occurred, but the Paranormal Liberation Front feels unique because they very consciously choose a name for their group which disposes of the restrictive label of “villain.” The clay art of Adrian Saxe. Lynn, Martha Drexler. Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, c1993.Tea drinking was common in Japan since early times. The general public drank tea out of wooden bowls at fairs and markets, and the upper classes made a guessing game with the drink. It was not until a tea master by the name of Murata Juko wrote a letter discussing the disciples of the tea ceremony that Shigaraki wares were produced for the specific ceremony. Influenced by Zen Buddhist traditions, Juko reestablished that the tea ceremony should reflect the concept of wabi-sabi, the belief of emphasizing simplicity, humility, and intense appreciation of the immediate experience. The natural appearance of this pottery helped reflect these principles and fit into the aesthetic of the tea ceremony atmosphere. The tea ceremony transformed the manner in which the Japanese viewed objects, including ceramic ware.
