Moresukine is comic artist Dirk Schwieger's journal of his adventures in Japan. Slices of Dirk's life kept neatly in a Moleskine notebook ("Moresukine" being an approximation of the Japanese pronunciation for Moleskine) become a compelling online read as he books around Japan guided by suggestions from his readers. Dirk's style is crisp and to the point, and it makes for a fascinating bit of voyeurism. In the latest instalment, Dirk unflinchingly encounters the potentially deadly puffer fish dish Fugu, which is the exact opposite of how we ourselves once encountered it. We're usually willing to die for relatively little reward, but not for a thin slice of mucus.
