nobody finishes a book and concludes “that was great; now I shall never read another one.” other writers are your teammates and coworkers, not your competition.

Behold the glory of my dystopian translation baby!! It is even bigger and more beautiful than I expected! So satisfyingly large. Fantagraphics really gave my precious child the deluxe treatment.

English edition of Wandering Cat's Cage by Torikai Akane (and translated by me) on a red desk next to a copy of the first volume of the Japanese edition for scale. The English edition is very obviously bigger and thicker than the Japanese book, which itself a larger size manga.

A couple interior pages. They are of course beautiful.

Preface
Akane Torikai
A Conversation with Akane Torikai

Having worked on the project for the last two years, we've all been moved by the enthusiastic response.

These fragments from a Roman villa in Spain are not from a mosaic but from a fresco. If you look closely you’ll see a grid of lines, many following the contour of the figures, much as tesserae do on mosaics. This trompe-l’oeil technique simulates mosaics. 1/ 🏺 1st-2nd c. Museo de Málaga 📸 me

Fragment of a fresco depicting part of a human face, mostly the eyes. Thin lines form a grid pattern, simulating the edges of tesserae.

Fresco fragment showing a naked torso of a woman, her legs and pubic area covered in a red himation (cloak). Her right hand carries a basket laden with fruit, which look like giant globes of grapes. Grapevine leaves appear in the background. A Dionysian scene. The faux tesserae grid lines follow the curves of the body.

Fresco fragment depicting some sort of half-human creature with wild hair and bare torso, gesturing upwards with his right hand and holding a branched stick with his left. The faux tesserae grid lines follow the curves of his garment and body.

Fresco fragment with the torso of perhaps a god with golden skin, a red himation flowing outwards and partially covering his or her legs. Perhaps Dionysos?

A graphic of Ursula Vernon's paintings featuring a goat rabbit creature with a golden halo around it. In the first one it is holding a yellow flowered stem and gestures its other arm out to the side. In the second painting it is pulling the skin around its eyes as one leg is bent upwards. The text on the graphic reads "odd spirit prints by Ursula Vernon".

Two more paintings by Ursual. One is of a dog like creature with a leather hat on that covers its eyes, and green electric energy radiates from it. It also radiates from its paws. The second painting is of an owl like creature wearing a necklace and a robe, holding a stick with a feather dangling from it. A yellow halo is behind her head.

The last piece of art from Ursula, featuring a white rabbit creature (wearing a hood, a shirt, gloves, and a skirt) standing in a lush field of bushes and flowers looking up at the moon.

Ornate Saxon copper disc brooch decorated with gold and garnets, AD 650-670. It must have been a treasured possession! From Floral Street, Covent Garden, once the heart of ‘Lundenwic’, the early Saxon town of London. Museum of London 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

My photo shows a circular Saxon brooch made of copper, the front of which is ornately embellished with gold and garnets. There are five raised, circular, gold bosses which are outlined with inlaid garnet slabs, and each set with a central, round garnet. Four of the gold bosses are arranged around a fifth, larger, gold boss in the centre of the brooch. The central boss sits within a star-like, four-pointed geometric shape composed of a mosaic of inlaid garnet slabs. The outer edge of the brooch is decorated with two rows of tiny inlaid polished garnets. The eight gold sections at either side of the four smaller bosses are decorated with raised gold filigree which looks like looped, braided cord. Parts of the brooch are worn, with some chipped edges, and missing garnet stones. The brooch measures approximately 7 cm in diameter. It is displayed on a clear glass surface. It was excavated from a woman's grave by AOC Archaeology in 2000 ahead of development construction works. This type of brooch was a fashionable status piece amongst wealthy aristocratic Anglo-Saxon women in the AD 600s. The woman's grave also contained glass beads and silver rings.

I have long found fragments of ancient artifacts to be fascinating - like a piece of a missing jigsaw puzzle. Here we have a brilliantly colored fragment of a faience statuette of the goddess Venus, rising from the sea, wringing out her hair (Aphrodite-Venus Anadyomene). #MetMuseum 🏺 1/ 📸 me

The missing lower portion of this intensely blue-green faience statuette makes it difficult to determine if the woman depicted was clothed. However, her preserved left hand, which pulls back her hair, recalls the gesture of Venus after she emerged newly born from the sea - Aphrodite/Venus Anadyomene - the subject of a famous Greek sculptural type of the third to second century BCE. Some other faience statuettes of Venus Anadyomene still exist, such as the one at the Brooklyn Museum, in which the goddess is naked (she is always naked in this type of sculpture, as she's rising from the sea or her bath).

Roman, late 1st century BCE-early 1st century CE.
