ARAKAN – Japanese Buddhist wood carving ascetic monk seated image (Dealer: Jinta) – The one who only see beauty don’t understand about beauty. To know what poverty and suffering is let the one know what true beauty is. But, as the converse is also true, after coming back from the 7 years of ascetic practices in mountain, Buddha once realized that poverty and suffering is not the only way for spiritual enlightenment. Here is the wood carving of hard-trained monk of high rank as ‘Arakan’ (Alhat). Early-mid Edo period. Quite a dynamic sculpture transcending any words. The condition is as seen. With ‘Gyokugan’ (crystal eyes). approx. H 43cm (16.92in), W 40cm (15.74in), D 32cm (12.59in) http://tatami-antiques.com/items/alhat/ #tatami_antiques #alhat #woodcarving #object #sculpture #priest

Watch NASA's Prototype Guidance System Land A Robotic Spacecraft At Night

Watch NASA’s Prototype Guidance System Land A Robotic Spacecraft At Night

The night sky above NASA’s Kennedy Space Center was quite a spectacular sight on May 28 as NASA’s Morpheus prototype lander was sent over 800 feet (244 meters) into the air, trailed by a jet of brightly colored flames. This free-flight test was the first of its kind, aimed at investigating the capabilities of NASA’s Autonomous Landing Hazard Avoidance Technology (ALHAT) which serves to improve…
