Retired lawyer. Loves dogs, books, kindness, critical thinking, inclusiveness. I don’t post political thoughts, I am glad to read others who do. My focus at this time is mainly on cute puppies and environmental beauty. And arts. Am Yisrael Chai. 🙂

We call it meditation 'practice' for a reason—we aren't striving to be extraordinary meditators. We are practicing to bring about peace and compassion in our lives and the world at large. With Willa Blythe Baker, "The Art of Somatic Mindfulness" tricycle.org/dharmatalks/...

When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination. A closed book is a closed mind. Don't ever stop reading.

The sound of a rainstorm by a kids' choir & their conductor, using body percussion. They rub their 🙌 together to resemble rustling wind, followed by finger snapping for a light drizzle, slapping thighs, and finally stomping feet on the floor to create the thunderous effect of a heavy storm

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him. He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.
The Titanic sinking under a moonlit sky.

The Kimono Gallery @roger1952.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
“Miko - Japanese shrine maiden.” Hand-colored photo, 1880’s, Japan. Photographer Kusakabe Kimbei.
This hand-colored albumen print captures two young women attired as miko (shrine maidens) in highly elaborate, theatrical ritual garments designed for sacred dances (kagura). The soft, painted tints meticulously applied to the print highlight the textures of silk brocade, metallic crowns, and dyed textiles, presenting a fascinating blend of historical costume documentation and early ethnographic photography.

On the left, a woman stands in profile wearing a spectacular, wide-sleeved robe layered over a patterned kimono. The textile design is a tour de force of auspicious motifs, featuring swirling colored clouds and a magnificent golden phoenix (hōō) sprawling across the sweeping sleeves and hemline. Her headpiece is remarkably unique: an oversized, dramatic crescent-shaped hood or helmet adorned with a golden plaque and painted pastel borders, sweeping backward to anchor the theatricality of her ritual persona. A white sash (obi) secures her waist, with a formal hanging panel completing her structured silhouette.

Seated on the right is a second young maiden, positioned forward to showcase an entirely different, equally mesmerizing set of ceremonial vestments. She wears a soft green under-robe beneath a draped white outer shawl, paired with flowing, bright pink divided skirts resembling a specialized form of hakama. In her right hand, she lightly holds a closed folding fan, while a thick purple tassel hangs down the center of her chest. Her crowning feature is an extraordinarily intricate, gilded openwork crown (kanmuri), topped with a golden bird motif and fringed with dangling metallic ornaments that would catch the light and chime softly during ritual movements.

In the lower left corner, the original negative's cataloging inscription "265. MIKO" is visible, identifying its place in Kimbei’s highly sought-after commercial albums produced for Western travelers.
