The Magical Japanese Art of Luggage Forwarding — Ridgeline issue 170

https://craigmod.com/ridgeline/170/

"Magical Japan" articles are so 90s but this one on takkyūbin is very well written (hn)

... except that takkyūbin is apparently a trademark and the generic term is takuhaibin (again, the fine pedants of hn)

Theodoros Kolokotronis - Wikipedia

This dude liberated Nafplio (from the Ottoman Empire) and then was imprisoned in Palamidi Fortress *in the city he liberated* (and now the capital of Greece, for a while) for being a traitor by the new (and 17-year-old) Bavarian King Otto of Greece! Shit sucks.

To be clear, he was extremely anti-Bavaria and a proponent of an independent Greece. He was only freed due to public outcry.

What a life.
