The Servant Fudesuke (Shimobe Fudesuke), from the series One Hundred Ghost Stories from China and Japan (Wakan hyaku monogatari), Tsukioka Yoshitoshi 1865

I have a couple of art books collecting works by Yoshitoshi, so excellent. Expression, body language, clarity. I would say that there's a sort of just-right-ness about this art form that you don't see everywhere, maybe because they had to make decisions based on what could be carved in wood blocks? I think that must be part of it 🤔

I like the fella's reaction, he isn't terrified, in fact he's leaning in to get a good look 😁 👻

Feeling like you are in new territory? Gift yourself the space and a little time to take in the moment. Not what you feel it asks of you, just what it is. Smile or laugh at the absurdity, magic, wonder of it all.

Flow and floating are our themes this week. Recognize the possibilities in your moments. Allow yourself to go beyond the day-to-day struggles, to imagine the world you wish to create. Then take one step at a time daily to live it into being.

Es fällt schwer, exemplarische Bilder zu wählen, aber eins ist schöner als das andere. Meine Begleiterin (die werte Tochter, die sich als Teenager im Rijksmuseum einmal die private Ansicht der dortigen Hokusai-Drucke frech erfragt hat) und ich haben viel darüber geredet, ob den #ukiyo-e-Künstlern einfach ein besonders zeitloser Stil gelungen ist, oder ob der Einfluss, den sie auf europäische Kunst hatten, einfach so nachhaltig wirkt.

Eigentlich egal! Es ist alles eine Augenweide!
