Happy Harvest Moon. Photo taken by my iPhone. Normally I don't even try to capture a moon photo with my iPhone, it's lame. But tonight, I got this! Not bad. Good Night Bluesky.

Moody Blue Monday. Blue hydrangeas doing well in my front yard. Taking some cuttings to plant near dahlias instead of lavenders. Found out today that lavender acts as herbicide n would prevent seeds growth. It kills n suppress the growth of plants nearby. #bluehydrangea #mygarden

Another dahlia from the memorial park in town. This one is as close in shade as I’ve seen to the one I loved at the zoo that unfortunately doesn’t seem to have survived the drought. It’s a beautiful flower 😍🌼 #dahlia

This rare cotton palanquin-bearer hanten showcases a large family crest, stripes, and rain-dragon motifs using the tsutsugaki technique. Late Edo (1825-1868), Japan. During the Edo period, this type of jacket, associated with a 'norimono', was used to carry territorial lords or 'daimyo'.
This rare cotton palanquin-bearer hanten showcases a large family crest, stripes, and rain-dragon motifs using the tsutsugaki technique. It's in very good condition, evidently seldom worn, with minor fraying where one sleeve attaches to the main garment and two discreet small holes near the bottom rear. It measures 42 inches (107 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 48 inches (122 cm) in height.

The family crest, the wisteria, carries significance within Japanese aristocracy. At the waist-level of this hanten, the two facing dragons specifically represent the rain-dragon, 'amaryu', symbolizing wisdom and strength.

During the Edo period, this type of jacket, associated with a 'norimono', was used to carry territorial lords or 'daimyo'. It served as a uniform displaying the lord's family crest. As the population increased, land availability for horses decreased, making human-powered transport more prevalent. Norimono were vital for transporting the warrior class and nobility, notably during the Tokugawa period's migrations to and from Edo (Tokyo) along Japan's central road.

Historical accounts, such as those from Kaempfer and Hildreths, describe these processions involving norimono. These were carried by uniformed men, each wearing the lord's family crest. The norimono-bearers displayed specific postures and movements, highlighting their strength and uniformity. Felice Beato, an Italian-American photographer in the early 1860s, noted the careful selection and training of these bearers for their symmetry, muscular development, and uniform height, akin to the care given to favored European State Carriage horses.

I dunno but it should probably be a bigger deal that the White House announced it wants to slap a 100% tariff on drug imports at the same time it is eliminating Medicare drug subsidies. And we’re talking about critical life-saving drugs like insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics, and heart meds.
India supplies approximately 50% of all U.S. generic drugs, and these face the highest tariff
rates:
• Antibiotics: Penicillin, amoxicillin
• Cardiovascular medications: Generic versions of cholesterol drugs, blood thinners
• Diabetes medications: Metformin, insulin analogs
• Pain relievers: Ibuprofen, acetaminophen
2. China-Dependent Active Ingredients
China supplies active ingredients for:
• >95% of ibuprofen and acetaminophen
• ~45% of penicillin
• Many other commonly used medications' base components

Je Shen
Je Shen 艺术家

In a rapidly changing environment, identity cannot be treated as a fixed or definitive construct. Je Shen approaches evolution as a controlled process — one that allows transformation without compromising coherence.

Rather than preserving a rigid image, the system is designed to absorb change, respond to new contexts, and evolve through intentional adjustments. Identity is therefore not understood as a finished outcome, but as an ongoing structure shaped by continuity and informed adaptation.

This perspective allows growth without fragmentation, ensuring that evolution strengthens recognition instead of diluting it.

A Distinct Voice in Contemporary Asian Painting

I was born in Jiangxi, China, in 1973.

My paintings explore the relationship between light, nature, and matter. Through layered surfaces and delicate floral compositions, I try to create landscapes that feel both familiar and timeless.


I have always been fascinated by the way light transforms colour. By building each painting through successive layers and applying every blossom individually, I create surfaces that continuously change with natural light, revealing new textures, reflections, and subtle details from different perspectives.

For me, painting is a beautiful dialogue with nature. Rather than simply depicting a place, I hope to capture a fleeting atmosphere,a moment of stillness, meditation, and balance that reflects the beauty I find in the world around me.

Over the years, my work has attracted the attention of collectors, critics, and contemporary art publications throughout Asia, particularly in China, Korea, and Japan. I am grateful that my paintings continue to find homes and connect with people in many different parts of the world.

Geisha modeling an antique silk furisode and obi.
This striking studio photograph captures a model dressed as a geisha from behind, showcasing an exquisite antique silk ensemble that highlights traditional Japanese formal wear. The figure turns slightly to present the full elegance of her silhouette, her hands gently lifting the long, flowing sleeves (furi) to reveal the detailed artwork along the hem and sleeve cuffs.

She wears a dramatic black-ground kuro-furisode decorated with a lush, hand-painted landscape along the lower skirt and sleeve ends. The design features elegant white red-crowned cranes (tsuru) wading among verdant pine trees, golden banks, and deep green mossy fields, symbolizing longevity and good fortune. Her neck is framed by the traditional low-scooped collar, revealing the nape of her neck dusted in pale makeup. Her high, sculpted updo (nihongami) is adorned with ornate hairpins (kanzashi), including a bright red coral bead accent.

Tied around her waist in a structured, formal knot is a thick silk maru-obi or fukuro-obi featuring a bold, metallic gold and deep rust-red ivy leaf (tsuta) pattern woven against a cream ground. At her feet rest a pair of traditional wooden lacquered platform sandals (okobo) with bright red straps (hanao), completing a refined portrait of classical Japanese textile artistry and courtly grace.
