Since it rarely snows in #Cologne 🌞, I thought I'd at least bring back some memories of it at home. And what better place for #snow 🌨️ to come from than... #Texas! 😅 I'm not kidding. My latest #woodcutprint comes from Jack (mokudez), a mechanical engineer living in Texas who creates #mokuhanga in his free time. I really love this print and Jack's thoughtful note on the back truely made my day.
I just got a new #Japanese #WoodblockPrint, and even though it’s small, it’s absolutely beautiful. I love its contrastive colors 😍
I don’t know its full background, but from the style I’d guess it’s a #SōsakuHanga piece, probably from the #Shōwa era.
Masami Nagasawa is fierce and unforgettable as O-Ei, the woman behind ukiyo-e master Hokusai, in Tatsushi Omori’s gritty historical biopic. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/10/09/film/hokusais-daughter/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #japanesefilm #hokusai #ukiyoe #masaminagasawa #tatsushiomori #masatoshinagase
Centuries-old Japanese erotic art is still taboo, but a rare exhibition in Kabukucho, the city's so-called red-light district, aims to prove the genre is more than titillation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/09/08/art/japanese-erotic-art-shunga-exhibition/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #art #kabukicho #ukiyoe #exhibitions #shunga
