Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio(聊齋志異), written by Pu Songling during the Qing Dynasty, is a collection of 491 supernatural tales featuring fox spirits, ghosts, and demons. Pu's narratives show more compassion for non-human entities than humans and satirize social issues of his time. 1/2

It’s fair to say that Picasso showed some early promise ~ here’s Picador, his first oil painting. at age 8 ■ his study of a torso, at age 10 ■ and, at age 14, a portrait of his mother

This book is cogsci. Just not classical cognitivism. Not what's become popular on EduSocialMedia. It's enactivist cogsci. A different view of cognition enacted in my classroom. #UKEd #EduSky #SciTeachUK

The reception set created by Japanese urushi artist Gonroku Matsuda in 1932 was priced at 5 million yen in Japan, but after being purchased by a foreigner and sold in Marseille, it rose to 12.5 million yen, and eventually, the Guimet Museum acquired it for 50 million yen😅

This fountain pen is inspired by the elegant folding screen paintings of Sakai Hōitsu, a painter from the Edo period. The delicate brushwork is precisely recreated using urushi. Our workshop can faithfully recreate any painting by hand using urushi. #fountainpen

Well, I am a complete amateur but I like the concept of the floating world. I came to that through reading Ishiguro many years ago.
