  2. Gongsun Sheng making a magical gesture, Utagawa Kuniyoshi

    I love the energy in his expression. It's interesting to me because these old Ukiyo-E prints aren't meant to be realistic, or they didn't hold realism up as a necessary quality, and yet there is enough there that it feels really consistent. In some of them the design is almost abstract and it takes me a while to figure out what is meant to be happening. In this one there is so much billowing fabric that I had no idea what his feet were doing at first, I think I have it now.

    Look at that face. He's hunched up and squirming, so powerful are the forces in play 😁

  5. From #ukiyoe to #horimono: The Japanese art of #tattooing and its historical roots. The history of horimono (彫り物), the traditional Japanese art of tattooing, is deeply intertwined with #Japan’s social evolution, spiritual beliefs – and the ukiyo-e woodblock printing tradition. From its ancient origins to its association with the #yakuza and its current resurgence as an art form, horimono reflects Japan’s complex relationship with tattooing.
