Created in 1992 by Yuka Taguchi (田口由花), this painting stands as a masterwork of contemporary Nihonga (traditional Japanese-style painting)

Reclined in quiet grace upon a shimmering ground of dusted gold, a sleek black cat gazes with vibrant green eyes toward an overarching vine of brilliant blue morning glories (asagao). The composition masterfully balances the dark, velvety silhouette of the cat with the rich lapis hues of the fully blossomed flower, framed by deep green foliage outlined with fine, golden veins and a single emerging pink bud. The painting exudes an intimate, serene sensory atmosphere: the cool, soft texture of fine silk beneath delicate paws, the faint rustle of garden foliage catching a gentle morning breeze, the dew-drenched freshness of an early dawn bloom, and the quiet, rhythmic purr of a feline resting in watchful solitude.
Taguchi utilizes traditional natural pigments alongside sunago (dusted gold leaf) to construct a luminous background that illuminates the deep black tones of the cat's fur. The painstaking precision in the individual whiskers, fine claws, and intricate leaf venation showcases monozukuri—the unwavering devotion to artisanal mastery and technical discipline.

In Yu Miyazaki’s haunting artwork from the exhibition The World Seen from Here, a delicate threshold between waking reality and the spirit world unfolds in soft, dreamlike hues. Japan

At the base of the composition, a young woman reclines peacefully upon the ground as if suspended in deep slumber, draped in a grey kimono patterned with subtle fan and chrysanthemum motifs. Surrounding her, vivid red spider lilies (higanbana) bloom from the gloom, their fiery petals providing a striking visual contrast against the monochromatic sepia backdrop. Hovering above her rests a colossal, pale full moon, casting its muted glow over a translucent, ethereal spirit dressed in white who gently holds a thread suspended between realms. The image evokes a quiet, sensory atmosphere: the cool dampness of an autumn evening, the subtle scent of wet soil and blooming flora, the pale hum of moonlight, and the breathless hush that accompanies the realm of dreams and memory.

Anchoring the piece is the profound cultural symbolism of the higanbana, a flower deeply entwined in Japanese tradition with the arrival of the equinox, poignant farewells, and the transition into the afterlife. The glowing phantom holding the slender thread evokes classic folklore regarding the unseen ties connecting souls across time and existence, bridging the physical world with the realm beyond. Through precise tonal control and luminous glazing, the painting reflects exceptional technical skill and material mastery (monozukuri), carrying the heritage of Japanese figurative painting into a modern, introspective context.

Yabusame’ mounted archery, an old warrior tradition in Japan

Frozen in mid-gallop against a soft blur of dust and greenery, a Yabusame archer rises with fluid grace from the saddle of a white charger, drawing a towering asymmetrical longbow (yumi) with absolute focus. Clad in traditional Kamakura-period hunting attire (hitatare) patterned in vibrant emerald green and gold brocade, the marksman wears spotted deer-hide chaps (mukabaki) and a wide, black-rimmed hat (igasa) secured beneath the chin. A blunt, turnip-headed wooden arrow (kabura-ya) rests aligned with his steady gaze, held at full draw as horse and rider thunder down the course. The contrast between the muscular power of the white horse, the crisp geometric line of the drawn string, and the fluttering patterned sleeves creates a high-stakes sensory moment: the thundering beat of hooves, the rushing wind, and the held breath before the release.
abusame (流鏑馬) is an ancient Japanese ritual of mounted archery dating back to the late Heian and early Kamakura periods (12th century), codified under Shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo to cultivate samurai discipline, mental focus, and spiritual devotion. Performed as a sacred rite at Shinto shrines, the archer must shoot three wooden targets in rapid succession while galloping down a narrow, two-hundred-meter track. The arrow's bulbous wooden tip—known as a whistle-arrow—produces a high-pitched hum as it cuts through the air, signaling a prayer for peace and driving away evil spirits. The creation of the archer's specialized gear, from the laminated bamboo bow and eagle-feather arrows to hand-woven silk brocades and custom leatherwork, represents a living continuum of monozukuri (artisanal mastery and material craft), where feudal military tradition is preserved as sacred performance art.

Gloria Steinem has passed away. Long ago, my parents used to force me to go to church each Sunday. One time the pastor made a comment about "people who were destroying America, like Carl Sagan and Gloria Steinem." I liked Carl Sagan. Gloria Steinem was new to me. I took it as a recommendation.

— The Asylum Art —

A dreamlike Venice dissolves into mist, where the great domes emerge like memories from another world. A lone gondola glides across shimmering water, carrying its passengers through the quiet veil between reality and reverie. Soft golds, silvery blues, and layered textures transform the familiar city into something timeless: beautiful, distant, and almost forgotten.
