Buddha statue, Japan.

Veiled behind a luminous, soft-focus canopy of scarlet maple leaves (momiji), a carved stone Buddha (sekibutsu) sits in eternal, inward contemplation. The blurred, vibrant pinkish-red foliage casts an ethereal, dappled filter across the statue's features, partially screening its face and chest. Sculpted from weathered grey stone, the figure exhibits the traditional spiral snail-shell curls (nikkei) crowning the uṣṇīṣa, serene downcast eyes (hangan) closed in meditation, and softly flowing, parallel pleats of monastic drapery cascading over its shoulders. The porous, pitted surface of the stone—flecked with subtle weathering and the patina of age—stands in striking contrast to the delicate, translucent softness of the autumn leaves floating through the foreground.

Outdoor stone Buddhist icons (sekibutsu) have formed an integral part of the Japanese spiritual landscape since the introduction of Buddhism, gaining widespread popularity during the Heian and Kamakura periods as devotion expanded into mountain sanctuaries and temple gardens. Unlike gilded bronze or lacquered wooden images enshrined within the dark interiors of main halls (hondō), stone statuary was sculpted specifically to endure the elements, becoming living components of the surrounding environment. In sacred precincts across Kyoto and Nara, the arrival of autumn brings momijigari (the traditional pastime of viewing autumn foliage), where the brilliant, fleeting turn of the leaves frames centuries-old statuary, transforming temple grounds into dynamic, seasonal mandalas.

I don’t want data centres. I want trees and nature. I want bees and biodiversity. I want clean drinking water. I want to go back to the way things were when we were one small step closer to nature. Without water we have no life on earth. I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to understand.

I usually end up reading Don DeLillo's "Pafko at the Wall" about once a year, and man, it's just so good. As I was finishing it last night, I was sitting up in my chair like you would watching an actual baseball game. It captures the feelings of that moment so well, completely absorbing.

by Yutaka Murakami (Japanese, b. 1957)

A vertical painting by contemporary Japanese artist Yutaka Murakami (b. 1957) features a charming, whimsical illustration of a cat wearing a garment. The composition highlights the artist's signature playful style, combining an expressive animal portrait with bold, traditional textile design motifs.

The central figure is a fluffy black-and-white tuxedo cat standing upright against a warm, unadorned cream-colored paper background. The cat has wide, round yellow eyes with dark pupils, a small white muzzle, a white chest, and white "mittens" on its front paws. Its thick black fur is rendered with soft, textured brushstrokes along its rounded lower body and its curved tail, which extends to the right.

The cat is dressed in a short, cream-colored robe or yukata, fastened at the side with a simple tied cord. The fabric design features an eye-catching, avant-garde pattern composed of large, sketchy crimson-red circles representing camellia blossoms (tsubaki), interspersed with oblong, deep blue leaves highlighted by white sketchy veins.

Nobody should be homeless. Nobody should be hungry. Nobody should be deprived of education. And I’m starting to think that those who can’t accept these as basic truths have forgotten what humanity looks like.
