André Michaux to sell the properties. He sold the garden near Charleston, but the concern expressed
|
89_63
|
by Du Pont and his son Eleuthère Irénée du Pont preserved the New Jersey garden in Saunier's care
|
89_64
|
and continued to support it. Saunier continued to send seeds to France for the rest of his life,
|
89_65
|
and is credited with introducing into gardens the chinquapin (Castanea pumila) and the smoking bean
|
89_66
|
tree (Catalpa bignonioides).
|
89_67
|
Aaron Burr recorded meeting Michaux in Paris on September 17, 1810, but this was apparently
|
89_68
|
Francois Andre Michaux, the son. According to Burr he went "to Michaux's, the botanist, who was
|
89_69
|
many years in the United States, and has written a valuable little book of his travels. He is now
|
89_70
|
publishing his account of our trees, which will be extremely interesting. It demonstrates that we
|
89_71
|
(not the whole continent, but the United States alone) have three times the number of useful trees
|
89_72
|
that Europe can boast..." Burr's cited quote would apply equally to both Michaux', father and son,
|
89_73
|
and perhaps more to the son, who had been in America a total of some 6 years, and had recently
|
89_74
|
(1804) written about his travels in America, and was subsequently working on his later opus on
|
89_75
|
American trees.

|
Carolina lily (Lilium michauxii), Michaux's saxifrage (Saxifraga michauxii), and several other

89_78
|
plants are named for him.
|
89_79
|
Michaux State Forest in Pennsylvania (U.S.), which protects over 344 square kilometers (over 85,000
|
89_80

acres), is named for him.
|
89_81
|
André-Michaux Ecological Reserve in Quebec, Canada, which protects 450 hectares, is named for him.
|
89_82
|
His son François André Michaux published an Histoire des arbres forestiers de l'Amérique
|
89_83
|
septentrionale (3 vols., 1810–1813), with 156 plates, of which an English translation appeared in
|
89_84
|
1817-1819 as The North American Sylva.

|
Michaux Stone — Michaux brought a boundary stone or kudurru back from his Near Eastern trip. It
|
89_86
|
was originally found by a French physician living in Baghdad, near the site of a 12th-century BCE
|
89_87
|
Babylonian town named Bak-da-du. On a small part of an embankment on the Tigris—near the Al-Karkh
|
89_88
|
end of the Baab El-Maudham Bridge—is another archeological site attributed to the second Babylonian
|
89_89
|
period, circa 600 BCE. Michaux sold the kudurru to the "Institute Constituting the Commission for
|
89_90
|
Scientific Travel and the Custodians of the Museum of Antiquities in France in 1800, for 1200
|
89_91

francs. The 'Michaux stone' or Caillou Michaux was then placed in the Cabinet des Médailles of the
|
89_92
|
Bibliothèque Nationale at that time.

Writings
|
89_94
|
Michaux wrote two valuable works on North American plants: the Histoire des chênes de l'Amérique

89_95
|
septentrionale (1801), with 36 plates, and the Flora Boreali-Americana (2 vols., 1803), with 51
|
89_96
|
plates. Although this 1803 work appeared to be the work of the father, François claimed some 15
|
89_97
|
years later that the work had been completed after his father's death and published posthumously by
|
89_98
|
himself and another botanist.

, better known by his stage name HISASHI, is a Japanese musician best known as the lead guitarist of
|
90_1
|
the rock band Glay. He is particularly associated with the brand Tokai, designing a series of
|
90_2
|
personal signature guitars, based on their Talbo model.

Biography

90_4
|
History
|
90_5
|
Hisashi was born in Hirosaki, Aomori, the second of two sons; his father was a surgeon. His family
|
90_6
|
moved north to Hakodate, Hokkaido, by the time he began secondary school. As an adolescent and
|
90_7
|
young teen, Hisashi took an interest in post-punk and metal bands, particularly influenced by Boøwy
|
90_8
|
and X Japan. He states that when he first asked his parents for a guitar, it was given in
|
90_9
|
confidence as it was the first thing he had truly wanted. He began studying guitar independently
|
90_10
|
from that time and is a self-taught guitarist. He later produced collaborative tracks with many of
|
90_11
|
his early influences.
|
90_12
|
At age 17, Hisashi witnessed the sudden fatal collapse of his father, an incident Hisashi cites as
|
90_13
|
his departure from childhood. Before becoming successful, Hisashi worked in various part-time jobs
|
90_14
|
including at a gaming center and a convenience store, while meeting to perform in live houses
|
90_15
|
during the night. Hisashi first became familiar with Takuro and Teru as the two were a year above
|
90_16
|
him in school and shared his interest in the local indie scene. Takuro sought Hisashi as a
|
90_17
|
guitarist for Glay but he found Glay's music unappealing at the time because of their many pop and
|
90_18
|
love songs. He had also gained a small following in another band, Ari (蟻, Ant), which better suited
|
90_19
|
his own taste in heavy punk and experimental music. He claims that their performances were largely
|
90_20
|
improvised, with the vocalist sometimes only screaming and throwing chairs. When Ari disbanded,
|
90_21
|
Hisashi agreed to accompany Takuro and Teru, and after graduation relocated with them to Tokyo.
|
90_22
|
Hisashi has been a cover model on various magazines including guitar-oriented publication GIGS and
|
90_23
|
fashion-oriented publication Silver Accessory, and is well known for his continually evolving
|
90_24
|
personal style. Together with his bandmate Jiro, the two are particularly known for their visual
|
90_25
|
kei looks and on-stage theatrics, however, in recent years the pair have toned down their image,
|
90_26
|
sporting more contemporary clothing and hairstyles.
|

Songs by Hisashi
|
90_28
|
In addition to arranging the guitar lines and solos for all of Glay's songs, Hisashi is the second
|
90_29
|
most active songwriter and lyricist for Glay, after Takuro. Songs written by Hisashi often display
|
90_30
|
strong punk and electronic influences and his lyrics are typically more abstract and metaphorical
|
90_31
|
than those of Takuro and the other members. He has also contributed a variety of instrumental
|
90_32
|
tracks for the band's albums and live performances. In 2011, his track "EverKrack" was the first of
|
90_33
|
his songs to be given an official music video. His next official video was in 2016, a fully
|
90_34
|
animated production "Kanojo wa Zombie" for their single "G4・IV", which reached #1 on the Oricon
|
90_35
|
singles chart on his 44th birthday.
