"The Flapper and the Cat" (or associated with his works for La Vie Parisienne) by artist Chéri Hérouard (C. Hérouard) a celebrated French illustrator famous for his Art Deco style. Year: 1923.

The illustration depicts an elegant woman dressed in a flowing, classic Art Deco style gown and a stylized headscarf. She gently holds up a sleek black cat to her face while surrounded by floating, stylized autumn holly leaves against a warm, gold-toned background. The piece embodies the graceful, playful, and romantic aesthetic characteristic of early 20th-century French magazine illustrations.

Located in Nagano Prefecture, Matsumoto Castle—famously nicknamed Karasu-jō ("Crow Castle") for its striking black cladding—is one of Japan’s twelve surviving original keeps (genson tenshu) and a designated National Treasure.

Rising majestically out of early morning mists, the five-tiered keep (tenshu) of Matsumoto Castle casts a near-flawless inverted reflection across the glassy surface of its surrounding moat. The bold contrast between dark, lacquered wooden wainscoting and stark white plaster tiers gives the fortress an imposing visual gravity, illuminated by the diffuse, golden-blue light of dawn. In the foreground, two white swans glide effortlessly through the dark water, their gentle wake sending delicate ripples that softly distort the mirrored silhouette of the ancient timber tower. The scene invokes an immersive sensory landscape: the crisp, chilly mountain air of Nagano, the soft lapping of water against stone foundations, the faint scent of damp pine needles and morning fog, and the profound, reverent hush of a historic stronghold awakening to the day.
Originally founded during the late Sengoku period and significantly expanded in the 1590s under Ishikawa Kazumasa and his son Yasunaga, it stands as one of the finest surviving examples of a flatland castle (hirajiro). Uniquely, the architectural complex joins a heavily fortified wartime keep with an open, red-balustraded moon-viewing pavilion (Tsukimi-yagura) added during the peaceful 1630s, physically charting Japan’s transition from feudal warfare to Edo-period stability. The structure exemplifies supreme monozukuri (artisanal mastery and structural craft), featuring complex interlocking timber joinery, mortarless stone wall construction (anozumi), and protective black lacquer wainscoting engineered to withstand both harsh weather and siege warfare.

Centuries before Virginia Woolf imagined “a room of one’s own,” Li Qingzhao had already carved out hers in the Song Dynasty. Born in 1084, she lived in a world where women were expected to remain within the household, yet she built a library of thousands of volumes and 1/2

Here is her most famous poem(translated by Jiaosheng Wang): 《如夢令·昨夜雨疏風驟》昨夜雨疏風驟，濃睡不消殘酒。試問卷簾人，卻道海棠依舊。知否，知否？應是綠肥紅瘦。 Late night wind howled with light shower, Still hungover despite my heavy slumber. Ask for shades to be rolled from sill, Was told my HaiTang blossomed still. Oh honey! But don't you know? Tis the season reds ebb and greens flow.

In Chinese lore, peach blossoms bloom with love, longing, and what might have been. During the Tang Dynasty (618–907), poet Cui Hu met a maiden beneath flowering trees at Qingming. Too shy to confess his feelings, he left in silence. A year 1/2

Some soothing Raven grooming to start your day. It’s an interesting discussion as to whether I am anthropomorphising the Ravens when I say they are my friends & just come to hang out, but that is my experience. Yesterday afternoon they ignored any food just wanted to sit & bond.

#FolkloreThursday In old Celtic harvest nights, folk hollowed turnips and hard turnips and set a coal inside lanterns for the thinning veil. From Mabon on toward Samhain, that lit fire was said to guide the kindly dead and to send mischievous Fae and hungry spirits the long way home.
