'Ya Did Good, Kid' A beached dolphin is accompanied by her ecological precursor: an Ichthyosaurus memorised by the earth itself, a spirit of Black Ven. Perhaps she'll become such a relic, too. I once saw a dead dolphin on Charmouth Beach. Sadly poetic. #paleoart for Day 2 of #Inktober2026 'Relic'.

Digital palaeoart of a common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) lying on a beach, belly-up, eyes shut. Looming over it is a black cliff--Charmouth's Black Ven--with a nearly-complete articulated fossil skeleton of an Ichthyosaurus (a dolphin-like marine reptile that lived in the Early Jurassic) exposed so closely to the dolphin that it looks as though it could be coming down to keep it company.

Black Cat Looking Straight Ahead by contemporary Japanese artist Toshiyuki Enoki (born 1961).

Positioned squarely in the center of a heavily textured, antiqued golden ground, a jet-black cat sits in erect, motionless composure, staring directly out at the viewer. Its dense dark coat is rendered with meticulous, micro-fine brushwork, giving tactile softness to the chest and ears while contrasting sharply against the coarse, woven grain of the underlying substrate. Two large, luminous amber eyes—framed by thin golden irises and wide, dilated pupils—glow with unblinking intensity, serving as the sole vibrant point of light within the ink-dark silhouette. At the base, a single tail curls smoothly outward across the muted canvas, while in the lower left corner, a bright vermilion and yellow circular seal bearing the artist's mark anchors the lower register.
Painted by contemporary artist Toshiyuki Enoki (born 1961), this work continues Japan’s long-standing painterly fascination with feline mystery, drawing a direct lineage from Hishida Shunshō’s iconic 1910 Nihonga masterpiece Black Cat (Kuroki Neko) and the whimsical cats of Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Enoki, trained in traditional Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) techniques, silk painting, and lacquer restoration, employs a distinctive technique involving natural mineral pigments (iwanogu), gold leaf, and layered glazes on textured canvas or hemp paper. His unique monozukuri (artisanal mastery) fuses traditional Japanese material culture with surreal, otherworldly sensibilities, transforming a domestic subject into a timeless, talismanic icon that feels both ancient and modern.

Hoshi-wajo standing wooden statue. 11th century, Japan. The wooden flesh of his forehead and nose splits open like a parting curtain, unveiling the calm, serene face of a Bodhisattva emerging from within the mortal shell. In his right hand, raised in a gentle gesture of instruction

Carved from a single block of timber, a monk standing in solemn monastic robes reveals a miraculous inner metamorphosis through a deep vertical cleft down the center of his head and face. The wooden flesh of his forehead and nose splits open like a parting curtain, unveiling the calm, serene face of a Bodhisattva emerging from within the mortal shell. In his right hand, raised in a gentle gesture of instruction, and his left hand, holding a slender ritual water vase (suibin), the figure exudes a quiet, poised presence. The aged surface of the sculpture is etched with deep vertical wood grain, tool marks, and age-worn fissures that catch dramatic, directional light, capturing the physical tension between the outer human countenance and the divine radiance hidden within.
Dating to 11th-century Heian-period Japan, this extraordinary wooden sculpture depicts Hōshō Wajō (the Chinese monk Baozhi, 418–514 CE), a renowned Buddhist master of the Southern Liang Dynasty celebrated for his eccentric wisdom and miraculous deeds. According to Japanese Buddhist folklore recorded in collections such as the Konjaku Monogatarishū, when Emperor Wu of Liang sent court painters to capture the monk's portrait, Baozhi used his fingers to rend open the skin of his face, revealing the Eleven-Headed Guanyin (Jūichimen Kannon) beneath to demonstrate that true Buddhahood cannot be captured by superficial physical likeness. Sculpted in the ichiboku-zukuri (single-block wood carving) technique, this work represents a pinnacle of Japanese religious monozukuri (artisanal mastery), translating a literary legend of spiritual transfiguration into a startling, physical masterpiece of sacred art.

A Three-Case Inro Edo period (19th century), Japan Decorated in gold, silver and red hiramaki-e, takamaki-e, kirikane and nashiji and inlaid in mother-of-pearl on a black lacquer ground, with a family of wild boar amongst chrysanthemums and a stream, dense nashijiinteriors, fundame rims Christies

Set against a mirror-polished, jet-black lacquer ground (urushi), a family of wild boars reposes beneath a lush canopy of blooming chrysanthemums (kiku) beside a golden, winding stream. Rendered in dramatic raised relief (takamaki-e), the mother boar curls comfortably upon a bed of gold moss, her textured fur etched with painstaking detail, while her two spirited piglets play nearby in smooth low relief (hiramaki-e). Luminous inlays of iridescent mother-of-pearl (raden) catch the ambient light along the chrysanthemum petals and eyes, gleaming with subtle opalescent blues and greens against the dark backdrop. Intricate mosaic squares of cut gold leaf (kirikane) adorn the stylized riverbanks, blending into soft clouds of sprinkled gold dust (nashiji). The tactile interplay between the glass-smooth black ground, the raised metallic relief of the boar bristles, and the cool shimmer of shell creates an exquisite, miniature sensory cosmos.
Created during the late Edo period (19th century), this three-case inrō represents the pinnacle of Japanese lacquer monozukuri (artisanal craft and technical mastery). Because traditional kimono lacked pockets, men carried personal items—such as seal paste, medicines, or incense—in suspended containers (sagemono) slung from the obi sash via a cord secured by a netsuke counterweight and an ojime bead. The wild boar (inoshishi), one of the twelve animals of the East Asian zodiac, traditionally symbolizes fierce courage, unstoppable determination, and protective maternal devotion, while chrysanthemums embody autumn, nobility, and long life. To craft such an object required months of painstaking labor by a master lacquerer (maki-e-shi), applying dozens of microscopic layers of sap, hand-placing minute gold foil squares, and fitting dense nashiji flake interiors behind tightly sealed, gold-finished fundame rims.
