From The Inside Of The New Digital Art Museum In Tokyo 

These incredible photos show what it looks like inside a groundbreaking new digital art museum in Japan. A trip to the Mori Building Digital Art Museum: teamLab Borderless in Tokyo, which opened last week, can make you feel like they you are dreaming and aims to fully immerse visitors in the art.

Spanning a spacious 10,000 square metres, 520 computers and 470 high-tech projectors create the illusion that the visitor is wandering through rice fields, following shoals of fish or even bouncing on a galaxy of planets.

Photo, late 19th century, Japan.  Photographer unknown.  "In the past, a kimono would often be entirely taken apart for washing, and then re-sewn for wearing. This traditional washing method is called ‘arai hari.’ Because the stitches must be taken out for washing, traditional kimonos needed to be hand sewn. Arai hari is very expensive and difficult and is now only done for high-end garments". Image owned by Okinawa Soba, Flickr

The Bakemono Zukushi “Monster” Scroll, 18th-19th century

These wonderful images featured here are from a Japanese painted scroll known as the Bakemono zukushi. The artist and date is unknown, though its thought to hail from the Edo-period, sometime from the 18th or 19th century. Across it’s length are depicted a ghoulish array of “yokai” from Japanese folklore. In his The Book of Yokai, Michael Dylan Foster describes a yokai as:

a weird or mysterious creature, a monster or fantastic being, a spirit or a sprite … creatures of the borderlands, living on the edge of town, or in the mountains between villages, or in the eddies of a river running between two rice fields. They often appear at twilight, that gray time when the familiar seems strange and faces become indistinguishable. They haunt bridges and tunnels, entranceways and thresholds. They lurk at crossroads.

The class of yokai characterised by an ability to shapeshift, and that featured in this scroll, is the bakemono (or obake), a word literally meaning “changing thing” or “thing that changes”. The founding father of minzokugaku (Japanese folklore studies), Yanagita Kuno (1875–1962), drew a distinction between yurei (ghosts) and bakemono: the former haunt people and are associated with the depth of night, whereas the latter haunt places and are seen by the dim light of dusk or dawn.

“These new Kappa were outfitted with various improvements. Photosensitive lignin plating allowed maximum energy absorption during the city’s brief and intermittent periods of sunlight, and the creatures could be seen in droves basking on the banks of Shanghai’s waterways on sunny mornings. This was one of the few times these creatures were exposed or vulnerable, as stored energy could be used to modify a complex system of chromatophores on the skin’s surface, completely cloaking the creatures from sight when submerged in liquid. This particular adaptation proved to be a mercy to the burgeoning species, whose meat was voraciously sought after in Shanghai’s culinary milieu.“ - The Ninth Archive
