I visited the Yokohama Museum of Art to see "Vienna at the Fin de Siècle: The Golden Age of Beauty." The exhibition wraps you in the atmosphere of the era. Rather than simply looking at the works, it offers time to experience the values of beauty. Egon Schiele’s presence quietly yet powerfully lingers in the memory. I think this is an exhibition that comes across only when you visit in person. #Vienna at the Fin de Siècle #Egon Schiele #Art exhibition #Japanese culture #Cool Japan

In the summer of 2024, MOA Museum of Art presents the special exhibition Pokemon × Crafts: A Grand Discovery of Beauty and Techniques! What kind of “chemical reaction” would occur if Pokemon and traditional crafts met head-on? Twenty artists, from Living National Treasures to emerging creators, took on this question with full commitment. The works evoke Pokemon forms, gestures, and presences. Some trace memories from the games, such as evolution, trading, travel settings, and highly effective moves. Others lure Pokemon into everyday life as tableware, kimono accessories, and stylish obis. What will your encounter with the pieces waiting for you in the gallery be like…exciting, entrancing, smirking, or spine-tingling? Enjoy discoveries of beauty and technique amplified by multiplying powers.

"Village" Where I live, there are mountains, rivers, and the sea nearby, so you can learn various things. Each has a different dangerous object, time of day, and countermeasure. It will live as knowledge that forms oneself Wisdom experienced by our predecessors over the years The world you saw without knowing it will look different from the world you see through wisdom. As I get older I think so

This is a picture I drew when I went to Okayama Prefecture. The town of Okayama is quite well maintained and the road continues straight Securing waterways in the surrounding rice fields Houses live there Surrounded by mountains, I looked at the sea in a town overlooking from the mountains The sky may look like the sea, but it was the first time I saw the town as the sea. It was very beautiful Even though it is the same Japan, if the climate and topography are different You can enjoy the difference in history floating there I'd love to go there again.

Today is 📷💻 an artistic piece I haven't been able to go shooting lately and I'm about to run out of material, so I used Photoshop to play with multiple exposures with two pieces, a silhouette of a soap bubble and a butterfly 🦋.
