Firefighter's coat with a spider over a Go board, Japan, 19th century AD

fuckin HAAAARD

Go is, in fact, pretty hard

I just saw some of these in a museum yesterday.

Apparantly the firefighters would rush to the fire with the decorations on the inside.

Then they’d tear all the buildings down around the fire to prevent the fire spreading.

Then flip their coats inside out to show their badass heroic designs, and then flex on folks.

Scares fires into going out on their own.

That spider looks like he’s on something very fun and trying so hard not to let anyone know
