Since nerves of higher animals have myelin sheaths, an action potential is propagated rapidly (phenomenon called a saltatory conduction) like the swift wind. The wind god is likened to an action potential that conduct bounces to be propagated.

A woman with a hanagasa (a traditional hat decorated with ornamental flowers) is performing a Japanese classical dance. The ornaments on the hat actually are gap junctions, and some of them are opened and allowing small molecules to pass through.

A fisherman on a cliff is pulling nets as if synchronizing circadian rhythms with the help of light shining down from the sky.

et against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji, a skilled craftsman is fixing a broken wooden barrel by excising damaged bases and then introducing new ones. We liken this to the process of DNA repair thereby recovering hydrogen bonds between each pair of bases.

Since nerves of higher animals have myelin sheaths, an action potential is propagated rapidly (phenomenon called a saltatory conduction) like the swift wind. The wind god is likened to an action potential that conduct bounces to be propagated.

The Thunder God is generating the action potential, which is not lightning, in a neural network. The illustration is paired with that of December Issue.

Harvest time. Toreutics on a guard of a Japanese sword has a design of ears of rice and a butterfly landing on them. No, they actually are DNA winding around nucleosome.（收获时节。日本警卫剑剑首上的金属浮雕，描绘有稻穗和停落其上的蝴蝶。而事实上，他们是环绕核小体的DNA。）

A huge and prestigious shrine that looks like Izumo-Taisha shrine at a glance. White zigzag paper streamers like a leucine zipper-type transcription factor are tucked in a giant sacred rope (dextrorotatory double-helix). The paper streamers probably bind to specific sequences of dsDNA expressed as a

Being inspired by the similarity in the appearance, KOKESHIs are portrayed as metaphase chromosomes, which pair KOKESHIs. It deserves attention that each pair of KOKESHI is designed the same and tied with a thread at their necks (kinetochores) each other.

Importance of bidirectional transportation between TOHOKU and surrounding districts. The “Kaido” expressed as a stone-pave street is designed to look like microtubules. Carts going left and pulled by bulls and messengers going right are expressions of motor proteins with cargos in eukaryote cells.

A scene from a Chinese-inspired vigorous dragon dance in a festival in Kyushu, Japan. The dragon is likened to a messenger RNA (mRNA), expressing transcription with DNA template.（日本九州，一个中国风格的节日舞龙场景。龙被比喻为一个信使核糖核酸（mRNA），表达了与DNA模板的转录关系。）

A beautiful woman of the Heian period is pulled by a dog and peeks out from behind a bamboo blind, which is likened to experimental data of DNase I footprint.（一个平安时代的美貌女子被狗拉着从竹帘后向外窥看，借以比喻寻求实验数据以确定脱氧核糖核酸的踪迹。）

A designed family emblem of cell division blends well with traditional Japanese patterns of auspicious omens motifs as pine and bamboo, on the artwork of tiered food boxes in silver lacquer.（细胞分裂与融合的图案和日本传统吉祥图案松树与竹子被当做族徽设计在多层银漆食奁上。）

Two sets of segregated chromatids during telophase are depicted as cats cuddled up comfortably beside spindle poles.（有丝分裂末期，两组分开的染色体被描绘成在纺锤体两极惬意偎睡的猫咪。）

Overlooking Mount Fuji in the distance through the arching wooden bridge, reflected on the water surface, forming complete circles to resemble a pair of spectacles or a ‘double helix.’（透过拱形的木桥远眺富士山，桥身倒映在水面上，组成完整的圆环，似一壮观的双螺旋景象。）
