I've seen that specimen at Te Papa multiple times and I must say it has seen better days, the alcohol solution it rests in is keeping it there but again, it has looked better; so you all should defiantly see it sooner rather than later.
I am a work from home office worker. I have no bosses beside me to check my work, and my role makes me handle our products as the "last touch" before we send it to our clients (Im in the audio industry, no physical product, just data). Shisa Kanko allows me to double check the product with markers and conditions before I start uploading. It does work, and from our work assessments, I have far less mistakes than my coworkers who are in the office, whose products are even checked by our seniors before sending. I learned this from a Japanese coworker from my previous workplace, and used it ever since.
Our first trip there was in 1979..we were on a camping trip scout's..we stoped there it was 2.50 a person i recall. I still stop to visit thete when i travel up north .from fl. Fun ,fun
Technically it was invented by the real/original Norwegian Vikings (not the wannabe swedish / danish "vikings" that claim to be vikings). The Norwegians sailed their ships, saw something they wanted, pointed at it to make the fleet aware and went for it. So yep - a Norwegian invention! But happy to see it in use in Japan and other places.
