wishing, The End
by C. Oulens


why does the sun go in hiding
why does the sea churn cyclones
why does ice freeze my window
why won’t the wind hum its song 

Don’t they know
The End is just 
wishful thinking when we can’t 
bear love
Don’t they know we’re bonded, to love
E’en tho’ you don’t
love me 
anymore
oh, why does a song 

kill its s o n g
why ought the song 
be your
s o u nd…

It's the anticipation of the coldness deep in the skin. Beyond falling leaves: dark night, stars of autumn. Childhood inside a chestnut shell. The smell of a candle singeing the pale woolly flesh of a carved pumpkin. The simple acceptance of darkness, and wind, and rain, and the nights closing in.

A Tranquil Scene on Lake Ashi, Japan, with Mt Fuji in the background. Dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, this photograph was produced from glass-plate negatives by pioneering Japanese photographers such as Kusakabe Kimbei or T. Enami.
A serene, mirror-like expanse of Lake Ashi (Ashinoko) rests in quiet morning stillness, perfectly capturing the crisp reflection of a traditional flat-bottomed wooden sailboat (wasen) in the lower foreground. The vessel's rectangular cloth sail and long wooden steering oar (ro) reach into the glassy water, where two seated figures in dark garments navigate the gentle current. Low, luminous bands of morning mist drift across the dark, forested ridges of the surrounding Hakone caldera. Rising majestically in the central distance, the snow-dusted, symmetrical peak of Mount Fuji floats above the horizon, its base softly veiled by cloud layers. Captured on a Meiji-era albumen print, the scene glows with warm sepia and rich umber tones that evoke an atmospheric sensory experience: the profound silence of an early morning mountain lake, the faint drip of water off a wooden oar, the crisp chill of alpine air carrying the scent of damp cedar and pine, and the serene stillness before the sun fully clears the surrounding peaks.   Dating from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, this photograph belongs to the golden age of Meiji-era Yokohama-shashin (Yokohama souvenir photography), produced from glass-plate negatives by pioneering Japanese photographers such as Kusakabe Kimbei or T. Enami. Hakone was historically a pivotal mountain pass and barrier station (sekisho) along the famous Tōkaidō highway connecting Edo (Tokyo) with Kyoto. For centuries, travelers along the Tōkaidō paused on the shores of Lake Ashi to gaze across the water at Mount Fuji—a classic vista immortalized in ukiyo-e woodblock prints by masters such as Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige.

Traditional Okinawa dance. The kimonos here are very different than in the main Japanese islands to the north. This performance captures the distinct cultural lineage of Ryūkyū Buyō (classical Okinawan dance), a courtly art form nurtured under the sovereign Ryukyu Kingdom from the 15th thru 19th c
Poised in deliberate, fluid motion upon a sun-dappled courtyard path, a classical Ryukyuan dancer performs Yotsudake, her body draped in a radiant, golden-yellow bingata robe patterned with cascading tropical flora, waves, and cloud scrolls. She wears the iconic hanagasa—a monumental, flower-shaped headpiece constructed with overlapping crimson petals rimmed in brilliant cobalt blue wave motifs, echoing the bloom of a hibiscus or lotus floating over the sea. Unbound by the heavy, constricting obi sashes of mainland Honshu, her kimono flows with uninhibited maritime freedom, its wide sleeves lined in shocking scarlet silk that flashes with every turn of her wrists. In her hands, she clicks small, tassel-adorned bamboo castanets (yotsudake), anchoring her graceful steps in a precise, hypnotic rhythm. The scene radiates a vivid sensory atmosphere: the sharp, metallic-like clack-clack of polished bamboo echoing through warm coastal air, the gentle rustle of starch-finished silk and ramie fibers, the faint, salty tang of a Pacific breeze mingling with garden fragrance, and the dazzling intensity of southern sunlight illuminating saturated, pigment-dyed textile motifs.
ormed at the crossroads of East Asian maritime trade routes, Ryukyuan court culture synthesized artistic influences from China, Japan, and Southeast Asia to forge a unique aesthetic identity. The dance Yotsudake was historically showcased during grand state banquets (ukawansen) held at Shuri Castle to entertain visiting Chinese imperial envoys (sapposhi). The dancer’s brilliant yellow robe showcases bingata, Okinawa's premier stencil-dyeing technique where mineral pigments and plant dyes are applied over rice-paste resists; during the Ryukyu Kingdom era, rich yellow grounds were strictly reserved for the royal family and high nobility.
