Milky Way and Mt. Fuji. Yeah.

i hate hate hate how white people laugh at cultures that believe in curses or superstitions like they don’t tell their kids that a man jumps down their chimney once a year and flies through the air on a cart pulled by magic reindeer

The Art of Ray Morimura

Ray Morimura is a graduate of Tokyo Gakugei University, where he studied oil painting. Originally his works were geometric-style abstractions. But later he was inspired by Shigeru Hatsuyama and Sumio Kawakami, and began to study woodblock techniques. Unlike most other Japanese woodblock printmakers, he uses oil-based inks to create these detailed images.

His technique is to carve both 6mm thick plywood blocks and 3mm thick blocks laminated with P-tile, a flooring material. The “linocut” process permits quite complex designs, which are printed on mulberry bark kozo paper. Essentially each color requires a separate block, and separate inking. Some blocks are printed with solid colors, while others include bokashi or a gradation of color. Of his work, Morimura says “printing demands total concentration as a single hair or dust can ruin a print. I usually clean my studio thoroughly and wait to begin the printing process until after midnight when it is quiet. With prints one can never be certain of the outcome until the final print is completed. There is always the unexpected, which makes it all the more intriguing. As with Zen and ink paintings, I hope something spiritual, in a contemporary sense, can be expressed in these landscape works.”

Kubo confirmed Victor and Yuri kissed and yes, it was first kiss. In the tweet you can see above she said something like “Is it just me or something synchronized with Nigehaji this week?”.

Nigehaji is a current airing drama on Japan, the main characters just kissed for the very first time. She was subtle but clear enough to make us understand the message. Love wins, people!

Misty white breaths you exhale Slowly blown by the wind now Into the clouds in the sky Gradually fading away From up above the sky White clouds reach down To inhale your breaths They continue to float away Seems just like the distant past Clouds passing over a flowing river Avoiding the sun’s reflection Dogs sleep under the leaves Memories too into the sky Gradually, fading away On the other side of the sky Yet more blue space In the emptiness of the sky Clouds drifting by Gradually, fading away
