People:
Sano (Hebrew: סנו) is a detergent products manufacturer in Israel that was founded in 1959 by Bruno Landesberg. The Latin word sano means "to heal".
In 1952, Bruno Landesberg immigrated from Romania and began working in the accounting department at Rafael. After a few years, he began working in sales at the Kadima Chemicals Corporation, a cleaning products manufacturer. In 1959, Landesberg took advantage of a takeover of 'Kadima' to purchase the distribution line and founded the 'Southern Marketing Company'. The first year, the company distributed products of 'Vitco Fertilizers'. A year later, Landesberg decided to begin independent production and started pioneering a brand that would include all of his products under one name - Sano. The first 'Sano' product was toilet bowl cleaning powder.
After completing Economics and Commerce studies at Harvard University, Landesberg returned to Israel and opened a factory in Bat Yam. At the time, Sano had only four employees, one machine and three products. In 1963, Sano began selling 3M Scotch-Brite, a move that was profitable. In 1969, the company began producing mosquito repellant, cockroach control, and an air freshener named 'Sano Fresh'. In 1972, the company moved the factory to Hod Hasharon where it has since expanded and operates its main distribution center and factories.
Sagara Sanosuke (相楽 左之助) is a fictional character from the Rurouni Kenshin manga and anime series created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. In the English anime adaptations he is known as Sanosuke Sagara and nicknamed Sano. Watsuki, being a fan of the Shinsengumi, created Sanosuke by basing his name and characteristics on that of a real Shinsengumi member named Harada Sanosuke.
Set during a fictional version of Japan in the pre-Meiji period, Sanosuke is a former member of the Sekihō Army. When the group is destroyed by the Meiji Government, he becomes a fighter-for-hire to calm his anger by fighting. During his introduction in the series, he encounters the wanderer Himura Kenshin, who easily defeats him and is able to convince him to stop his mercenary work and instead start protecting people. After that encounter, Sanosuke becomes Kenshin's best friend as well as his partner in most of their fights.
Sanosuke appears in the featured films of the series and in other media relating to the Rurouni Kenshin franchise, including a plethora of electronic games and original video animations (OVAs). Numerous anime and manga publications have commented on Sanosuke's character. Mania Entertainment praised his character development, noting that he becomes more trustworthy and reliable as the series progresses.SciFi.com referred to him as a "video-game icon", and noted how he is portrayed as a "tragic figure". Sanosuke has been popular with the Rurouni Kenshin reader base, placing second in every popularity poll. Merchandise based on Sanosuke has also been released, including key chains, and plush dolls.
Through the chambers of a distant mountain
A cloister of an ancient time
Spew forth the poison from the mouth
Foaming soil grazes the entrance
Mountain sheds its skin to single out whom to let
inside
Somewhere I'll always miss
Somewhere I can't resist
Scavengers feed off my sorrow held by the flesh
A clarified moment of suffering, formed by pains never
forgiven
A power that bites the spirit, restrained by its
crusher
(“Through a story that has been told by the voice of my
soul.”)
Gathering clouds forebode a malign path
Resistance is a double-edged dagger
Am I to hold my ground despite all this?
Ideals of the past crumble
Rubble I let fall as I take step after another
A mountain of crimson dark
Somewhere I'll always miss
Somewhere I can't resist
I am but a speckle of dust in this
Expect nothing but self-confrontation
Guilts that were done by the flesh,
Can not be justified
By the mere fact
That this quest is nothing more than
Drifting in vain in the cogwheel of time
On this deserted soil
Drench by my fears even more than
The deviously deployed clouds above
And when I finally reach to the mouth
Of what seems to be the beginning out of a sudden,
There is no way to restrain myself
From walking deep into the caverns of the crimson
mountain
Somewhere I'll always miss
Somewhere I can't resist
Somewhere I will insist
