    Koto (kana)

    ヿ, read as koto, is a typographic ligature in the Japanese language, consisting of a combination of the katakana graphs of コ ([ko]) and ト ([to]), and thus represents their combined sound, コト ([koto]). It is drawn with one stroke. It is uncommon and used only in vertical writing.

    Koto (traditional clothing)

    The koto or kotomisse is a traditional dress from the Afro-Surinamese women or Creoles in Suriname. The koto was developed during the slavery period in Suriname; its special purpose was to protect the Afro-Surinamese woman against their masters’ sexual interest.

    Different kotos exist for various occasions like weddings or funerals. The development of the koto as regular dress is not complete but it is still used in special occasions like the koto-dansi.

    With the koto, women wear a head or body covering called an angisa or anisa. The folding of the angisa sends a social message, for example “Let them talk.”

    Sleepwalking

    by: Kittie

    Watching me fall
    Into the flames
    Of a broken soul tonight
    No stone overturned
    This graveyard of mine
    Allows me no peace
    [Chorus]
    Sleep as day dies
    Sleepwalk with the dead
    Wander aimlessly through the night
    Love and regret
    Course through my veins
    As I slowly fade away
    Please let me sleep
    Just one last night
    Before I must wake
    [Chorus]
    And I walk with these ghosts
    And I walk with these ghosts
    And I walk with these ghosts...
    [Chorus]
    Sleep as night falls
    Sleepwalk with the dead
    Hope keeps me alive
