If you stand hand in hand with Trump— as ALL Republicans do— you also support racism, criminality, fascism , lying, pedophiles and international war crimes!

Mt.Fuji rising above the morning fog at Kawaguchiko Lake, Japan. Photography by Chaluntorn Preeyasombat on 500px

Rising out of a dense, atmospheric sea of morning fog, the snow-capped apex of Mount Fuji (Fujisan) pierces the upper sky in stark monochrome contrast. Below, the dark, glassy surface of Lake Kawaguchiko carries subtle, rhythmic ripples, its shoreline completely dissolved beneath a heavy mantle of mist that obscures the terrestrial landscape. The sunlit volcanic peak appears suspended in midair, disconnected from the earth, its frozen gullies etched in crisp highlight against the soft haze. Sweeping across the mountain's eastern slope, a flock of birds flies in disciplined V-formation, their delicate silhouettes underscoring the monumental scale of the sacred peak.

Photographed across the waters of Lake Kawaguchiko—one of the famed Fuji Five Lakes (Fuji Goko) in Yamanashi Prefecture—this view situates the peak within centuries of sacred geography and visual tradition.
Aesthetically, the composition relies masterfully on miegakure (the principle of hide-and-reveal), where the dense cloud bank conceals the terrestrial base to give the emerging summit an ethereal, weightless presence. The vast, impenetrable shroud of grey mist functions as an active field of yohaku (meaningful negative space), stripping away temporal clutter to isolate the sacred cone in pure contemplation. This impenetrable layer of vapor operates as a natural kekkai (sacred boundary), separating the profane, waterbound world below from the divine sanctuary above. Enveloped in an atmosphere of profound yūgen—the deep, unutterable mystery of nature's hidden truths—the suspended peak projects an aura of absolute seijaku (tranquil quietude).

Sword Handle with Dragon Head Design, c. 200s, Cleveland Museum of Art: Japanese Art Size: Overall: 7.6 x 6.6 cm (3 x 2 5/8 in.) Medium: gilt bronze

Dating from the 3rd century AD during the pivotal transition between the late Yayoi and early Kofun periods, this extraordinary gilt-bronze sword pommel ornament (kanduchi-no-tsurugi / kan-tou-shou-tou) from the Cleveland Museum of Art stands as a testament to the sophisticated metalworking traditions and elite symbols of power in ancient Japan. Cast in openwork bronze and enveloped in fire-gilded gold, the fitting features a stylized dragon head (ryū) emerging gracefully within a circular ring. The creature’s jaws part to reveal a small spherical jewel (hōju) suspended between its teeth, while its sweeping crest and arching neck mimic the dynamic curves of the surrounding frame, which is itself chased with undulating scroll and cloud motifs. Below the ring, a rectangular tang pierced with a central rivet hole reveals how the ornament was originally secured onto the wooden hilt of a prestige sword (tachi).

The technique of mercury fire-gilding (kin-dokō) applied across the cast surface created an incandescent gold luster designed to catch the sunlight during courtly gatherings and state ceremonies.

Visually, the artifact presents a striking interplay between pristine craft and the quiet marks of time. Centuries of subterranean burial have encrusted portions of the gilded bronze with a rich, velvety verdigris and malachite patina (roko), creating a profound contrast between bright, glittering gold and weathered, earthy green. This organic interplay of metallic radiance and ancient oxidation accords with the classic aesthetic appreciation for koshoku—the dignified beauty acquired through age and exposure to the elements. Isolated within its openwork ring, the dragon’s fierce yet elegant silhouette retains its kinetic energy, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into the mythic imagination, sacred symbolism, and master casting techniques that laid the foundation for Japan’s enduring metalwork heritage.

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.

Hello from Northern Spain #eclipse

A total solar eclipse hangs low over a rural Spanish landscape, the dark disc of the Moon surrounded by the Sun’s glowing corona. Hazy evening light washes across rolling fields and distant hills, with scattered trees and a solitary church silhouetted beneath the eclipsed Sun.
