Do you think the appreciation of, and fascination with, ghost signs is a form of 'nagori' as explained here?
Reminds me of the artist, whose name I can't remember, who installed a frame filled with freshly cut roses — the beauty was to be found in the decay/transition, much like the turning of the leaves in autumn.

I‘m convinced that my cat defended me from a demon or ghost or some other inter dimensional being tonight. When I got to bed shortly after 1 am I turned off the lights and he jumped onto my bed and after a while I felt his body shifting or he let himself fall over and suddenly hissed at something in the dark and was immediately quiet after and lied down beside me. Thanks Rune.

Nice to see a council appreciating a local ghost signs, and commissioning a contemporary mural that recognises it.

#Introduction! I'm a #BayArea #socialpractice #artist who just moved to the #Netherlands to start an #art & #jewelry business. I'm an expert on #ghostsigns. I'm currently teaching myself how to make historic #pigments & #paints for a new series. I collect #atomic ephemera, #cats, #MourningArt , old #signs, & #VintageHats . I probably have the only Home Depot skeleton in North Holland. Opening a gallery in my front yard in 2023!
