Japanese landscape photography as "Pearl Fuji" (Pāru Fuji), where the full moon rests precisely at the apex of Mount Fuji's crater rim like a luminous orb.

This photograph captures the rare celestial alignment known in Japanese landscape photography as "Pearl Fuji" (Pāru Fuji), where the full moon rests precisely at the apex of Mount Fuji's crater rim like a luminous orb. The extraordinary symmetry of the volcanic cone provides a bold, monumental foundation, its famous 3,776-meter silhouette rising with effortless grace above a low-lying cloud bank. By positioning the moon at the exact midpoint of the crater peak, the composition creates an intense focal balance, transforming the towering mountain into a cosmic altar supporting a glowing sphere of golden light.

The chromatic harmony of the scene relies on a delicate interplay between warm and cool tones. Twilight’s fleeting alpenglow coats the jagged volcanic ridges near the summit in a soft blush of rose madder and dusty violet, echoing the classical visual tradition of Aka-Fuji (Red Fuji). Further down, the mountain's sweeping flanks transition into deep indigo and slate, grounded by a soft veil of cobalt mist clinging to the lower slopes. Behind the peak, the sky transitions smoothly from a warm, champagne-gold glow at the horizon into a muted, dusk-toned pale grey, casting a soft, diffuse light over the craters and gullies carved into the volcanic rock.

Beyond its photographic precision, the image deeply resonates with the aesthetic traditions of Japanese visual art, echoing the graphic clarity of ukiyo-e prints by Hokusai and Hiroshige as well as the atmospheric solitude of 20th-century shin-hanga nightscapes. In Japanese art history, the juxtaposition of the immutable mountain with the fleeting arc of the moon embodies the profound tension between structural permanence and seasonal impermanence (mujō). The deliberate, harmonious placement of the celestial body evokes a spirit of serene contemplation (yūgen), catching a fleeting, tranquil moment where nature, atmosphere, and geometry achieve perfect visual poise.

Finally finished @philipcball.bsky.social's wonderful "How Life Works"! When I hit the part on the 2nd Law felt compelled to share my comic on Entropy from a few years back, bits of which I'm expanding on in the new work (& one reason I read this brilliant book!) spinweaveandcut.com/sketching-en...

a single page comic about entropy - how everything tends towards disorder, and those brief moments when things go against that downward flow - specifically life. Opens with linear rod of small rectangular panels on how things get more disordered.

The rest of the page has a much less regimented structure. In the background is a river in black that flows from upper left to lower right end of page. Over it is a spiraling panel structure that has the primary narrative. This begins with a trio of narrow rectangular small vertical panels arranged in descending order. Within them a sequence where a ball falls down stairs. A white arrow stems from the panels and points into the Y of the word yet In large black letters. This moves reading flow across the page to the right side where there are three mirroring vertical panels to the left side except these are arranged in ascending order left to right. Inside them are images of swirls - perhaps a cyclone viewed from space. And then, on the right edge, the panels align with the arm of a spiral of panels. And now we see a sequence depicting swirl of gases to birth of a star, a diagram of new elements forged in its core to star and planet (earth) orbiting. Then swirls of clouds on earth, lightning, rain, water, volcanoes and spiraling to the center: circular panel with caption “swirls keep forming”. Now spiral path reverses from the center to show organic molecules, then dna. Outside the panel path a maple “helicopter” spirals into the panels, to sprout and grow into a tree

This second spiral arm comes out of the center and returns to standard reading order. A river has flowed behind the whole page and in the last panel, a person is seen putting a finger in creating swirls in the water - as life and stars are swirls drawing from entropy's downward stream...

As the person who called the report "diabolically evil," let me just reiterate: the report is diabolically evil. asheeshksi.substack.com/p/producing-...

The text reads: The diabolical paradox of the Vanderbilt report is to claim that it is because the humanities actually are ‘woke,’ ‘biased,’ ‘non-objective,’ and ‘unrigorous’ that they have lost this support in the first place. In fact, it is years of the right-wing flinging versions of those false, garbage claims at the humanities as they have sought to defend their counter-majoritarian political project (and their ability to trick the public, including a significant number of otherwise politically liberal people, into believing them) that explains why the humanities have lost support.
