Kagome Crest
In geometry, the trihexagonal tiling is one of 11 uniform tilings of the Euclidean plane by regular polygons. See in particular Theorem 2.1.3, p. 59 (classification of uniform tilings); Figure 2.1.5, p.63 (illustration of this tiling), Theorem 2.9.1, p. 103 (classification of colored tilings), Figure 2.9.2, p. 105 (illustration of colored tilings), Figure 2.5.3(d), p. 83 (topologically equivalent star tiling), and Exercise 4.1.3, p. 171 (topological equivalence of trihexagonal and two-triangle tilings). It consists of equilateral triangles and regular hexagons, arranged so that each hexagon is surrounded by triangles and vice versa. The name derives from the fact that it combines a regular hexagonal tiling and a regular triangular tiling. Two hexagons and two triangles alternate around each vertex, and its edges form an infinite arrangement of lines. Its dual is the rhombille tiling. This pattern, and its place in the classification of uniform tilings, was already known to Johann ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mimana

Seth notes that the very existence of Mimana is still disputed. However, the hypothesis that Mimana or "Mimana Nihonfu" (任那日本府) was a Japanese colonial ruling institution of Koreans is denied by historical academia in both Korea and Japan. Usage of term The name (pronounced Mimana in Japanese, Imna in Korean, and Renna in Mandarin Chinese) is used over 200 times in the 8th-century Japanese text '' Nihongi''.
