The International Day of Human Space Flight, celebrated on April 12th 2025, commemorates humanity’s first venture into outer space on April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet astronaut, orbited the Earth. Declared by the UN General Assembly in 2011, the day highlights the importance of space exploration in advancing science, technology, and sustainable development, while promoting peaceful uses of outer space.

The UN plays a pivotal role in fostering international cooperation in space exploration. Organizations like the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) focus on using space technologies to address global challenges and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Additionally, initiatives such as the Voyager Golden Record symbolize humanity’s unity and aspirations for peaceful coexistence, both on Earth and beyond.

This day also celebrates milestones in space history, including Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space, and the multinational collaboration aboard the International Space Station. By marking this occasion, the UN advocates for the shared benefits of outer space for all humankind.

Japanese antiques can be a fascinating and potentially rewarding investment. Here are some categories worth considering:

1. Samurai Swords and Fittings: Items like katana, wakizashi, and tsuba (sword guards) are highly sought after for their craftsmanship and historical significance.
2. Netsuke: These intricately carved miniature sculptures were traditionally used as toggles for kimono sashes. They are prized for their artistry and cultural value.
3. Lacquerware: Japanese lacquerware, such as bowls, boxes, teapots, and trays, often features exquisite designs and is valued for its durability and beauty.
4. Woodblock Prints (Shin-Hanga and Ukiyo-e): These prints capture scenes of Japanese life, landscapes, and culture. Artists like Hokusai and Hiroshige are particularly renowned.
5. Ceramics and Porcelain: Pieces from famous kilns like Arita, Kutani, and Satsuma are admired for their quality and intricate designs.
6. Textiles: Antique kimonos and obi (sashes) with unique patterns and materials can also be valuable.

When investing, consider factors like authenticity, condition, provenance, and market demand. It’s also wise to consult with vintage experts or antique dealers such as RummageRunner who specialize in Japanese antiques to make informed decisions.
