One Piece - The Ultimate Trivia...

Trivia Hub

ONE PIECE
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, serialized since 1997. The story follows Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates as they explore the Grand Line in search of the "One Piece" treasure. The manga has been adapted into anime series, films, live-action series, and video games. It's the best-selling manga of all time, praised for its storytelling, characters, and humor. One Piece is known for its unique world with diverse races, the World Government, and special powers like Devil Fruits and Haki.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
Eiichiro Oda's interest in pirates began in childhood from watching the animated series Vicky the Viking, which inspired him to create a manga series about pirates. Oda was also influenced by pirate biographies and incorporated characteristics of real-life pirates into many One Piece characters
The concept of Devil Fruits, which grant unique powers, was inspired by the manga Doraemon, with their abilities reflecting Oda's personal fantasies and daily life. Oda designs Devil Fruits based on what would fulfill a human desire, making their appearance enticing to eat.
The names of many special attacks in One Piece use a form of punning, where phrases written in kanji are paired with an idiosyncratic reading. Some of Zoro's sword techniques sound like types of food when read aloud, although they look fearsome when read by sight.
Oda is very particular about the translation of his work, with the English version often using one onomatopoeia for multiple used in the Japanese version. For example, different sounds of rain are both translated as "fshhhhhhh".

Cliché-Verre - Miniatures On Glass

Brian Allan Skinner

Cliché-verre is a technique of etching and painting directly on photographic negatives. The term means “glass negative” in French and is as old as photography itself, dating to the 1840s and earlier. The first successful photographic process involved coating glass plates with light-sensitive chemicals from which reversed (positive) prints could be made. Artists experimented with drawing, etching, and combining images directly on the glass, resulting in fanciful black-and-white prints. But few artists were inspired to develop the idea further until the advent of color photography in the early 20th Century. 
The Magic Lantern, long predating photography, was invented by Christiaan Huygens, a Dutch astronomer and physicist, in the 1600s. It is a simple device for projecting images, based upon the centuries-old principles of the “camera obscura” or “darkened room.” When the photographic process evolved to  
film rather than glass plates, the technology spread. Color film arrived in the 1930s. There were now both film negatives and positives (slides). 
Brian Allan Skinner is the author of six volumes of illustrated fiction. His experiments with cliché-verre began in the 1960s. Here are 50 examples of his work from the past half-century, in brilliant color. In the epilogue, he explains his process in detail.
