2021: President Biden speaks during the first North American Leaders’ Summit (NALS) since 2016 in the East Room at the White House. He sits at a long table in front of the flags of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. President Biden was joined by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador at the summit to “reaffirm their strong ties and integration while also charting a new path for collaboration on ending the COVID-19 pandemic and advancing health security; competitiveness and equitable growth, to include climate change; and a regional vision for migration.” (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)

Japanese graffiti ,Shibuya, Tokyo

Painted directly onto a textured, off-white stucco exterior wall, this urban mural blurs the boundary between traditional decorative painting and contemporary street art. At its center, a painted vertical hanging scroll (kakejiku) rendered in ochre and earth tones displays a delicate study of crimson plum blossoms (koubai). In a clever trompe-l'œil illusion, gnarled plum branches burst outward beyond the scroll's visual borders, trailing pale pink blooms across the rough plaster. To the left, a modern outdoor water heater—bearing a swift, black marker tag—and exposed utility piping create a sharp, tactile contrast against the organic elegance of the painted flora. The scene evokes a distinct urban sensory atmosphere: the cool air of a Shibuya backstreet, the coarse grain of weathered stucco, and the quiet surprise of encountering seasonal beauty mounted beside industrial utility.
Situated within the alleyways of Shibuya, this piece exemplifies Tokyo's evolving street art landscape, where classical Japanese artistic motifs (kachō-ga, or flower-and-bird genre painting) are recontextualized on concrete and plaster. Traditionally, the kakejiku was displayed inside a home's tokonoma (display alcove) to mark seasonal transitions; here, the mural democratizes the alcove, bringing seasonal contemplation out into the public sphere. The plum blossom (ume) holds deep historical significance as the first flower to bloom amidst late-winter cold, symbolizing endurance, courage, and spiritual renewal.

The kimono features an elegant composition of ume (plum blossom) branches gracefully cascading across the cream-colored damask ground, painted with the sophisticated yuzen resist-dyeing technique combined with pigment dyes. Last quarter, 20th century, Japan

This rinzu silk furisode represents a beautiful fusion of traditional Japanese textile artistry with the naturalistic aesthetic that has long characterized Japanese decorative arts. The kimono features an elegant composition of ume (plum blossom) branches gracefully cascading across the cream-colored damask ground, painted with the sophisticated yuzen resist-dyeing technique combined with pigment dyes. The artistic treatment evokes the classical Japanese painting tradition of kachō-ga (bird-and-flower painting), where natural subjects are rendered with both botanical accuracy and poetic sensibility.

The plum blossom motifs carry profound symbolic meaning in Japanese culture, representing resilience, hope, and the promise of spring, as plum trees are among the first to bloom despite harsh winter conditions. This symbolism makes them particularly appropriate for furisode, which are worn by young unmarried women during significant life celebrations. The flowing, organic arrangement of the branches demonstrates the Japanese aesthetic principle of asymmetrical balance, creating movement and vitality across the garment's surface. The damask background, with its subtle woven patterns of flowers and butterflies, adds textural depth while complementing the painted elements. The overall design reflects the continuing influence of the Rinpa school's stylized naturalism, updated for late 20th-century sensibilities while maintaining the essential elegance and symbolic richness of classical Japanese decorative arts.

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.

Anyone who voted for you in Missouri should be embarrassed at the way you embarrassed yourself and your great state.
