    The history behind Picasso's famous painting "Guernica"

    Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the president of Ukraine, was invited to speak in the Spanish Chamber of Deputies via video on April 5, and members of the Senate were also invited to listen. At the beginning of his official speech, Zelenski said, referring to the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War, "It is clearly April 2022, but it seems like April 1937, when the whole world was shocked by the attack on your city". The Guernica bombing, which he referred to as the first carpet bombing in human history, took place on April 26, 1937, when General Franco sought the help of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy to launch indiscriminate air attacks on civilians in the Basque city of Guernica in northern Spain. The great artist Pablo Picasso was commissioned by the Second Republic of Spain to create the world-famous painting "Guernica" based on this tragedy, an indictment of the cruelty of war. As a student of design, I have seen many of Picasso's famous paintings, but this is the only one that has impressed me since I was a student. Today, we will understand how Zelensky's bombardment of Guernica in Spain really happened? Founded on April 28th, 1366 by the Count of Telo, Guernica is the seat of the Basque Provincial Council of Spain, and has always been considered the spiritual capital of the Basque people, and is also known as the "Home of Basque Freedom", which shows the importance of this region. So what is the background of this tragedy? Unlike today, Spain at the beginning of the 20th century was an economically poor and politically backward semi-feudal agrarian country, where large landowners controlled most of the land and resources and the lower classes lived in misery. Alfonso XIII went into exile and established the Second Republic of Spain, but the ensuing turmoil led to the establishment of at least 28 governments.

    Soba, one of the representatives of Japanese noodles.

    After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Japan, along with the U.S. sanctions, the first impact is the fishery products usually imported from Russia, such as salmon, sea urchin, etc., all prices have risen, causing pressure on the cost of related businesses such as sushi stores, but there is one food that is definitely affected, but few people know, and that is the national cuisine of Japan's soba noodles. "The price of buckwheat flour has risen due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The manager of a soba restaurant in Tokyo's Arakawa district said. The economic sanctions against Russia have led to an increase in the price of raw materials, which we are all prepared for, but how is buckwheat also affected? The highest production volume of buckwheat in the world is also in Russia, and Japan's imports are only behind China and the United States, with 10% of imports coming from Russia. How did buckwheat come to Japan? Some say it came to Japan from Siberia via the Korean Peninsula, while others say it spread from north to south in Hokkaido. Archaeological findings show that early buckwheat pollen can be found in Shimane, Shikoku Kochi, and Hokkaido today. As food evidence, buckwheat was an important food crop in the Yayoi period, when farming began, and is known to have been excavated from the ruins in Tonero, Shizuoka. When did buckwheat appear in Japanese official documents? It is mentioned in the history book "The Continuation of the Japanese Chronicle" that when the Emperor Genshō had a poor rice crop for six years, he ordered the people to plant buckwheat as a crop to supplement food for the disaster. What was the reason for this? The main reason is that buckwheat has a short growing period and can grow in poor, acidic soil without excessive nutrients or nitrogen, and requires only sufficient water to grow. Because of this, buckwheat farmers in the Kansai region worship Emperor Genjo as the god of buckwheat.
