北野恒富 Kitano Tsunetomi (1880〜1947)

Painter and print artist. Tsunetomi ended his life well known as a painter in the 'Nihonga' style, but his original training was in the business of woodblock printing. Born in Kanazawa, he went to Osaka in 1892 and was apprenticed to Nishida Suketaro, who was a preparer of 'hanshita-e', the final drawings used when cutting the blocks for woodblock prints. He also studied 'Nanga'-style painting, sculpture and woodblock carving under various teachers before joining the carving section of the 'Hokkoku shinpo' newspaper in 1897, where he was able to study newspaper illustrations; but he soon returned to Osaka to study painting under Inano Toshitsune, a minor artist who was in a line from the 'Ukiyo-e' school. From him he adopted the 'Tsune' element in his art name, and absorbed a style of painting beautiful women which was a transition between 'Ukiyo-e' and 'Nihonga'. Inano made him work as a woodblock cutter. He published the first of his illustrations for serialised novels in an Osaka journal. While earning his living in this way, he continued to paint and first exhibited in the government-sponsored Bunten show in 1910. In 1912 he helped set up the Taisho Art Society devoted to the encouragement of child artists and in 1915 the Osaka Art Society, at which he became a regular exhibitor. In 1917 he was elected to the Japan Art Institute, and thereafter remained a regular exhibitor at official exhibitions. In 1934 he was invited to contribute wall-paintings to the Shotoku Memorial Painting Hall in the Meiji Shrine, Tokyo.

Tsunetomi's subject-matter was usually beautiful women from the world of entertainment and fashion in the Osaka area, and his work is important as a record of that way of life. Many of his paintings are rescued from the common sentimentality of the period by a gritty edginess which is not unlike the early prints of Ito Shinsui (q.v.). He designed few sheet-prints, and all of them seem to have been adapted from earlier paintings. His best-known print is 'Sagimusume' (Heron Maiden), published in 1925. Tsunetomi was an important figure in Osaka art circles, teaching many pupils, including the painter and print designer Shima Seien (1892-1970).

Smooth, chocolate milk flavor with a massive protein punch
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12), Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
The Context: I’ve tried a wide variety of protein supplements over the years, and many of them are a struggle to get down due to a thick, chalky texture or a chemical aftertaste. I picked up the Core Power Elite 42g shakes to use as a convenient meal replacement on busy days, and they have quickly become my go-to. The Performance: Flavor and Texture: The standout feature here is the taste. It genuinely tastes like high-quality chocolate milk rather than a supplement. It is remarkably smooth and lacks that dry, chalky finish that usually plagues high-protein drinks. Satiety: With 42g of protein in a single 14oz bottle, these are incredibly effective at keeping you full. When used as a meal replacement, I’ve found that they keep hunger at bay for significantly longer than lighter shakes or snacks. Convenience: The 12-pack is a great value, and the bottles are perfect for a grab-and-go lifestyle. They don't require any mixing or shaking to get rid of clumps, which makes them ideal for the car or the office. Nutritional Profile: For the amount of protein you're getting, the calorie count and sugar levels are well-balanced, making it easy to fit into a variety of nutritional plans without feeling like a "cheat" meal. Pros: Great Taste: No chalky texture or medicinal aftertaste. High Protein Content: 42g is a significant amount that helps with satiety. Solid Value: Purchasing the 12-pack is much more cost-effective than buying individual bottles. Cons: Thickness: Because it is milk-based, it is a bit richer than a water-based shake, which some might find heavy if they aren't used to it. The Verdict: If you want the benefits of a high-protein supplement but hate the typical "protein shake" experience, these are the answer. They are delicious, filling, and convenient. Whether you're using them for recovery or just as a quick meal replacement, they are one of the best-tasting options on the market.

Great Protein Source
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Low calories, tastes awesome, good ingredients, convenient to throw in my backpack because it is resealable and doesn’t leak. Price is a bit high, however, the protein content is some of the highest I’ve seen. I drink at least 2 of these a day and have a case pack set up for auto renew every 2 weeks.

Smooth, tastes good, and ... WOW! 42g protein!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
With 42g protein, I was a tad concerned about taste, though the reviews were encouraging. Many say it is smooth and tastes like chocolate milk. For sure, it is smooth and tastes good, similar to chocolate milk, but there is a marked difference between its taste and that of chocolate milk. Has a little bit of an aftertaste. For me, it is much better than was expected and I'm thrilled with the 42g. I will absolutely have one daily and recommend it to others, along with this tip – drink it very cold.

Great Gum to Help with Health Journey
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
This PUR Spearmint gum gets five stars from me. The spearmint flavor is really good and refreshing, but the only downside is the flavor doesn’t last super long compared to regular gum. Still, I bought this more for the cleaner ingredients than anything else since it fits into my current health journey and I wanted something aspartame-free. The gum has a little outer shell coating on it, but it’s still soft and easy to chew. It’s not hard or weirdly crunchy or anything like that. The family-size bag is also nice because it’s easy to throw in your car, backpack, or wherever without taking up a ton of space. Plus the resealable zipper bag helps keep it fresh. If you’re trying to avoid a bunch of chemicals and want a cleaner chewing gum option, this is definitely worth trying. I’d buy it again.

Good product
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
Very soft and chewy, sugar free and has good flavor. It does lose its flavor around 10 minutes in but that's how long its meant to be chewed for anyway.
