1945年の今日10月11日、戦後初の日本映画「そよかぜ」封切り。挿入歌の「リンゴの唄」が大ヒットし、この時代を象徴する一曲となった。ヤミ市に流れる「リンゴの唄」というシーンはドラマなどにもよく描かれる。
ヤミ市は、焼け跡に自然発生的に出現した露天市場で、経済統制を無視した品や横流し品なども販売された。

写真は国立歴史民俗博物館の再現展示。また、豊島区立郷土資料館にはかつて池袋にあった「池袋ヤミ市」の模型が展示されている。

when I interviewed Mark in 2015 I asked him about how his interest in minimalist sculpture influenced his work & got "I mean, y'know, I just kind of like it, it's aesthetically pleasing"

We will also hear a lot about Washington's "diplomatic achievement", a travesty of a framing. The US could have pulled the plug on Israel's genocide at any point over the past two years, and chose not to. The basis of a ceasefire has long been there, but Israel and its allies weren't interested.
