Geisha at Gennin-temple in Kyoto, Japan. Photography by Woosra Kim

Bathed in a brilliant shaft of morning light, a maiko advances along the central flagstone pathway (sandō) within the quiet precincts of Kennin-ji in Kyoto. She carries a small, vermilion oil-paper parasol (wagasa), her hair styled in traditional nihongami and adorned with vibrant floral kanzashi hair ornaments that sway with her movement. Her rich teal-green trailing kimono (hikizuri) features intricate, hand-dyed yūzen motifs and a golden brocade obi, catching the light to reveal flashes of brilliant scarlet silk under-layer (hakkako) as she walks atop high, hollow-carved wooden sandals (okobo). Behind her, a magnificent canopy of pale cherry blossoms (sakura) creates a luminous frame around the dark, weathered roof tiles of the temple gate. The photograph evokes an exquisite, sensory atmosphere: the rhythmic pokkuri-pokkuri hollow chime of wooden okobo echoing across smooth stones, the crisp, cool morning air fragrant with delicate spring blossoms, the damp warmth of sunlit granite, and the solemn, undisturbed quietude of an ancient temple at dawn.

Founded in 1202 by the monk Eisai, Kennin-ji stands as Kyoto’s oldest Zen monastery, situated at the immediate threshold where the spiritual grounds meet the historic Gion hanamachi (flower district). The maiko’s presence within this sacred space illustrates the historical interplay between Kyoto's monastic heritage and its refined world of traditional performing arts. Her ensemble represents the pinnacle of Japanese textile and material craftsmanship (monozukuri), from the laborious paste-resist dyeing and gold-leaf embellishment of her silk kimono to the intricate Nishijin-ori weaving of her sash and the hand-carved paulownia wood of her footwear. Each element of her dress is meticulously selected to reflect kisetsukan—a heightened awareness of the current season—aligning her visual presence with the fleeting beauty of early spring cherry blossoms.

Stevie Ray Vaughan (Stephen Ray Vaughan) (October 3, 1954 💖 August 27, 1990) was one of the most electrifying and influential guitarists of modern blues.

Inspired by his older brother Jimmie Vaughan and players including Albert King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Lonnie Mack and Jimi Hendrix, he developed a ferocious style that combined Texas blues with the power and intensity of rock.
With Double Trouble, Vaughan exploded onto the international scene with Texas Flood in 1983. Pride and Joy, Love Struck Baby and the title track introduced his extraordinary playing to a new generation, followed by albums such as Couldn't Stand the Weather, Soul to Soul and In Step. His performances of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and Little Wing also became celebrated examples of his ability to honor Hendrix while sounding unmistakably like himself.
After overcoming serious addiction problems, Vaughan returned with some of the strongest performances of his career before his life was tragically cut short in a helicopter crash on August 27, 1990. He was only 35. Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. Today we remember SRV on what would have been his 72nd birthday.

According to magpies, the best place to have an argument is on a sheep's back.

Picture taken on the island of Texel, the Netherlands, some two weeks ago. Two magpies bickering on the back of a sheep. It went on for quite some time. The sheep tried to get rid of them once, but it seemed to be only a minor annoyance, and the magpies quickly returned.
