Japanese crossword «Skete»

A Skete (according to Mr Google)is a monastic community in Eastern Christianity that allows relative isolation for monks, but also allows for communal services and the safety of shared resources and protection.
This image of a Skete - is excellent!

Thank you, John! I asked why Tverianka's puzzles weren't being posted on nonograms.org when there were a lot of new ones on nonograms.ru and was told that it takes longer when English titles are not provided. I spent a long time researching titles. This one stumped me because Google translated the Russian into "Skeet." I finally find an alternative translation of "Hermitage"--closer, but also incorrect. We don't give our hosts credit for the effort they make, I think!

I remember reading a book a long while ago written by "The monks of New Skete" It was about dog training, because that was one of the special things these monks did. I assumed it was just the name of a place in North America, but maybe it it was this meaning of Skete.

I have just looked them up, and yes, it is this meaning of Skete. They are in New York. There are the monks who train dogs and the nuns who make cheesecakes!

Most effective!

Very fun puzzle.

Good. I was confused for a moment -- I didn't see skeet shooting in the picture :)

Lovely, especially in thumbnail - and educational, too. Thanks, Tverianka. And commenters, too.

Very nice!

Fun and unusual to solve. Lovely picture

I appreciate Tverianka and the fellow solvers who research and explain things

I can’t believe I did a Tverlanka
puzzle without x's.
