I love that place! It had been awhile since I went but I dropped in after seeing a movie at the National Museum of Asian Art a few weeks ago. The ancient sea fossils have always been my favorites

Cat with Bell (~1935) by Takahashi Shotei. I immediately showed this to Ishtar and went “this is you”. Turns out it’s the vampire cat of Nabeshima!

These three are all by Ohara Koson between 1928-1931 (probably in order of painting). I like how the little guy gets more confident as time goes on.

Three woodblock prints of a black and white cat with a red belled collar. In the first he stands with his front paws on top of an aquarium, looking longingly at goldfish. In the second he catches a mouse and looks pleased with himself, a damaged paper lantern lays on the floor behind him. In the third he stalks goldfish in a bowl, this time seeming sure he can get them.

Redownloading Bluesky to show you pictures from this cat book I got

Cat of Japan: Woodblock Prints by Hokusai, Hiroshige and Other Artists. The cover depicts the woodblock print “Tama” by Takahashi Shotei. A white cat with orange spots on their ears and a red frilly collar tucks their paws in for a perfect loaf while staring calmly at the viewer.

Ishtar mostly bites and pulls my hair or pats me on the face with her little hands but lately she’s been smacking our elderly Pom Inara on the head who then chases her off the bed. Inara will then decide she needs to go out before going back to sleep so I have to get up.

Okay I want to do either a crochet or knit tapestry/mosaic pillow case of weird medieval guys so send me your favorite little guy. Must be simple enough that I can distill it into a couple of color pixel art. My favorite armless frog will be included.

A medieval painting of a frog standing up. He has no front legs, blank eyes and a slightly gaping mouth. He can only be described as weird.

Ishtar (cat) is a total brat and has been eating my foam draft guards but she’s so cuddly I have to forgive her. Inara (Pomeranian) is 15 years old and 4.6 lbs and has never forgiven me for moving in.

Was doing some tarot and the King of Cups literally jumped out of the deck twice in a row and then I pulled the Knight of Cups for spouse. Deck is reading us for filth once more. @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social how did you make a literally magic deck???

The King of Cups from Yoshi Yoshitani’s The Tarot of the Divine. A Chinese dragon looking fierce above a chalice

The King of Cups again paired with the Knight of Cups. A kind looking man in Mongolian garb astride a horse with a hunting eagle calmly observes the land.

Description of the Knight of Cups written by Yoshi Yoshitani

Halibu the Hunter
Mongolia, Mongolian Legend
The Knight of Cups is a messenger.
Halibu is kind and gentle while also willing to take a stand for what he believes in. Halibu provides for his village, and after befriending a dragon, he willingly sacrifices himself to save everyone he loves.
