Executed by Kanō Tsunenobu (1636–1713)—a premier master of the Kobikichō branch of the Kanō school and official court painter (goyō eshi) to the Tokugawa shogunate—this hanging scroll exemplifies the peak of Edo-period ink painting.
Poised dynamically atop a jagged, moss-speckled rock above churning waves, a mythical kirin (qilin) turns its horned head in a posture of watchful grace. Rendered in expressive ink lineation (suibokuga), the auspicious beast features a single horn, a flame-like mane, cloven hooves, and a tail that spirals upward like a stylized storm cloud. Sweeping calligraphic brushstrokes outline the powerful contours of its body, transitioning from dense, jet-black ink along its back to delicate, feather-light lines across its underbelly. Below, rhythmic, curling line-work depicts foaming water surging against the crags. The composition invokes an evocative sensory atmosphere: the crisp scent of ground sumi ink on silk, the roaring spray of breaking waves, and the electric thrill of a divine creature descending through mountain mists.
Tsunenobu, nephew and disciple of the legendary Kanō Tan'yū, synthesized Chinese ink traditions with the refined visual elegance favored by the shogunal court. In East Asian mythology, the kirin is a benevolent, sacred creature that appears only during times of wise, virtuous rule and harmony. Tsunenobu’s signature and seal at the lower left mark the culmination of monozukuri (artisanal mastery and brush technique), where absolute control over ink saturation (sumi no gosei) transforms fluid movement into enduring divine form.

Yesterday my class and I talked about making peace within ourselves. When we are peaceful ourselves, it spreads (in a way 3-5 year old understand) I always wish people “a peaceful evening or night”. I know it’s not something that can be given or wished, it has to come from you. I’m rambling 🩷💜🩵✨

Waterfal Bridge, Takachiho Gorge, Japan
Plunging down a dark, sheer cliff of columnar basalt, the cascading curtain of Manai Falls (Manai-no-taki) shimmers in a veil of fine spray before merging into the quiet, dark waters of the Gokase River. Framed by towering, moss-draped rock faces that rise like natural ramparts, the high arch of a stone bridge spans the canyon, its silhouette crowned by a canopy of autumn foliage shifting from rich emerald to radiant amber. Deep within the chasm, light filters down from the high forest above, illuminating a small rowboat drifting near the sunlit bend where the river recedes into the distance.

Carved over millennia by the Gokase River flowing through ancient volcanic lava streams from Mount Aso, Takachiho Gorge (高千穂峡) in Miyazaki Prefecture stands as one of Kyushu’s most sacred natural monuments. In Shinto tradition, Takachiho is venerated as the legendary site of Tenson Kōrin—the divine descent of Ninigi-no-Mikoto, grandson of the sun goddess Amaterasu, sent from the high heavenly realm (Takamagahara) to bring order and harmony to the earthly land. Manai Falls itself is steeped in myth; according to local lore, when the region lacked water, the deity Ameno Oshihito-no-Mikoto transported water from a celestial spring to feed the waterfall. The sheer, hexagonal basalt pillars (kyōjō-setsujo) formed by the rapid cooling of lava embody the ancient Japanese reverence for kami residing directly within dramatic, elemental landforms.

The English language is funny. The words eat and chew have similar meanings. To chew someone out and to eat someone out, however, have very different meanings.
