<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://misiglo.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/toshusai-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-810" src="http://misiglo.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/toshusai-2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="667" /></a></p>
<p>La exposición <strong>Ukiyo.e. Imágenes de un mundo efímero</strong>, que puede verse en la <em>Fundación Caixa</em> <em>Catalunya.</em> La Pedrera, en Barcelona, hasta el 30 de septiembre, nos lleva hasta el rostro de esos interpretes japoneses, las máscaras, por ejemplo, del actor <strong>Otani Oniji</strong> en la estampa trazada por <strong>Sharaku Toshusai</strong> hacia 1794,  los dedos de sus manos abiertos, las cejas levantadas, las pupilas profundas e hirientes. "Yo envidio - había dicho <strong>Van Gogh</strong> - , la extrema nitidez que hay en todas sus cosas. Los artistas japoneses consiguen una figura con algunos trazos seguros con la misma habilidad como si fuera algo muy simple". Es el mundo de las alegrías sencillas, pero también el de la fiesta y de los viajes, el mundo frágil y efímero de las danzas, los juegos, los paseos y la música, el mundo en que se ve a lo lejos el monte <strong>Fuji,</strong> el universo cruzado por los pasos de los peregrinos, las grandes barcas transportando las vidas, los pintores, las cascadas y los bosques. "Parezco un  monje y estoy cubierto del polvo de los siglos", había dicho el poeta <strong>Bashô </strong>en el XVll.<strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-824" src="http://misiglo.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/ikiyp-e-sigantureillustrationorg.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="711" /></strong></p>
<p>El mundo efímero de <strong>Ukiyo-e</strong>  nos lleva hasta <strong>Hokusai</strong> e <strong>Hiroshige</strong>, las visiones del monte, los animales, los insectos, el viento y la lluvia, los pétalos blancos y los árboles rojos, los movimientos de la breve vida de los hombres enmarcados en la naturaleza. Lo efímero de ese mundo japonés nos introduce en los teatros y  en el ficticio realismo de las pelucas y los maquillajes, el rumor de las sedas rozando los escenarios, las metamorfosis de los finos labios repintados, los ojos agrandados o diminutos, aquellas muecas que atraían los aplausos de la concurrencia, los gigantescos ademanes de los brazos am<a href="http://misiglo.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/shunsho-katsukawa.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-837" src="http://misiglo.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/shunsho-katsukawa.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></a>parando las sombras y el drama o la comicidad exasperados hasta la caricatura.</p>
<p>Ese es el mundo íntimo y maravilloso, el mundo de las calles estrechas y de la multitud asombrada ante el cortejo que pasa, el mundo de la realidad y los fantasmas, el mundo observado por los artistas y llevado con gran cuidado hasta dejarlo para siempre sobre la piel de las estampas.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Visto che l'ultimo album di Jovanotti è tornato alla ribalta per il caso di plagio della canzone "A te" ho voluto riportare il testo di un'altra canzone del medesimo che in questo periodo mi "intrippa" parecchio; la canzone si chiama "in orbita". L'ho ascoltata spesso la sera al mare con l'ipod, mentre leggevo, sdraiato sul letto, con un orecchio teso al respiro degli altri 3 occupanti la stanza...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span class="testo">Sotto una palma al centro di Alexander Platz<br />
Ci siamo presi il nostro tempo per decidere<br />
Con la <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_citt%C3%A0_delle_donne">filosofia del grande Snaporaz</a><br />
Abbiamo scelto che non volevamo scendere<br />
Da questa giostra che ci fa girar la testa<br />
E che ci tiene in orbita</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Dentro a una giungla sopra a un tetto di Parigi<br />
Mentre ammiravo le tue ali di farfalla<br />
Abbiamo immaginato di essere felici<br />
Come due bimbi proprietari di una stella</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>In una febbre tropicale al polo sud<br />
sognai i miei vecchi sorridenti in riva al mare<br />
Mentre guardavano la mia barca andare via<br />
Benedicendo la mia rotta dentro al cuore<br />
Perchè ogni tempo porta dentro un dispiacere<br />
Perchè ogni giorno porta dentro un pò d'amore<br />
Che ci tiene in orbita</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Dentro un locale messicano di Shanghai<br />
Ho immaginato meno spreco di dolore<br />
Ho vista appesa al muro <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai">l'onda di Hokusai</a><br />
Mi ha ricordato che ogni cosa può cambiare<br />
Su questa giostra che ci fa girar la testa<br />
E che ci tiene in orbita </em></p>

<description><![CDATA[Ni se intampla adeseori sa ne intoarcem din diverse excursii.  Am incercat sa vizitam tot ce am stiu]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Ni se intampla adeseori sa ne intoarcem din diverse excursii. <span> </span>Am incercat sa vizitam tot ce am stiut ca trebuia vizitat. Uneori am avut timp sa ne documentam despre locul in care am mers, alteori nu. Dar de fiecare data ne-am dorit sa profitam la maxim de acel loc si sa luam cu noi toate amintirile care se puteau lua. La intoarcere, insa, de multe ori am descoperit ca se mai putea vedea ceva, mai aveam de vizitat un loc, de mers pe un hol, de strabatut un peisaj frumos. L-am ratat!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Se poate intampla asta si cu muzeele. Poate ne luam un ghid! Dar de multe ori vrem sa privim in liniste si nestingheriti, sa analizam fiecare element important pentru noi. In nici un caz nu am vrea sa descoperim ca am omis un tablou, vreo opera despre care nu am stiut ca se  afla in holul respectiv, o expunere ascunsa privirii neinitiate. <span> </span>Ne-ar parea prea rau!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">In aceasta sectiune va propunem o vizita prin muzeele din lume. Le luam usor, la pas si in liniste. Incercam sa le descoperim virtual iar atunci cand le vom vizita ele nu vor mai avea lucruri de ascuns pentru noi. Vom fi independenti dar cunoscatori.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Stim! In spatele fiecarui tablou se ascunde o lume, o lume cu coordonatele ei, cu povestile, tristetile si bucuriile ei. Este lumea artistului, o lume ce ramane de atatea ori ascunsa privitorului neinitiat si fugar.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Ce s-ar intampla daca am putea descrie lumea fiecarui tablou? Dar daca am vedea-o <strong>tridimensional </strong>si am sti povestile ei? Daca am reusi sa intuim ce a vrut sa transmita autorul? Daca tabloul ar prinde viata sub ochii nostri impresionati?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Fiecare tablou transmite un mesaj!</span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO"> Uneori este cel pe care a vrut sa il transmita autorul, alteori este cel pe care il vad criticii de arta in el. Insa, de fiecare data, trebuie privit in adancime pentru a-l descoperi.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Atunci <span style="color:#800000;"><strong>cand daruiesti vorbesti despre tine</strong></span>. Cauta in arhiva povestea tabloului! Poate ca am incercat sa o descoperim deja. Daca nu revin-o, o vom adauga! Asa vei reusi sa adaugi un plus de valoare felicitarii tale, un plus de farmec persoanei tale, un plus de cunoastere!</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Intotdeauna ne-au placut biografiile oamenilor celebri. Au in ele ceva mistic, ceva ascuns care ne atrage. Si daca acei oameni celebri sunt si artisti atunci efectul este garantat. Vom citi pe nerasuflate istoria lor, nu doar o carte, ci zeci! Incercam sa discernem realitatea de mit si ramanem, de fiecare data, impresionati de opera lor.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Mai putem cunoaste ceva in plus despre ei? Mai sunt lucruri care pot aduce lumina asupra unui element sau altul? Cu siguranta! In aceasta sectiune va propunem dar, o incursiune in vietile lor.  Haideti sa discutam despre </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Botticelli, Da Vinci, Raffaello, Monet, Degas, Picasso, Van Gogh, Dali si multi altii. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Adaugam inca o poveste felicitarii,una plina de farmec, de atractie! Nu te sfii! Atunci cand daruiesti vorbeste despre artist si opera sa, despre gandurile lui, despre dorinte, intentii, pasiuni. O lume noua se va revarsa prin cuvintele tale, un nou inteles!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Stim ca atunci <a href="http://www.amazingcard.ro" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800000;"><strong>cand daruiesti vorbesti despre tine</strong></span></a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> <span style="font-family:Arial;color:#8d1419;">Adaugam farmec!<br />
</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO"><span> </span>Decizia de a promova cultura si frumosul si prin astfel de modalitati, nu a fost una usoara, dar ne-o asumam si vom merge cu ea pana la capat. Credem ca este mai frumos sa daruim sau sa atasam unui cadou ceva de valoare, care sa ne reprezinte mai mult, care, de ce nu, sa vorbeasca de la sine despre noi si intentiile noastre. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Si pentru ca ne-am pozitionat pe acest segment, unde incercam sa imbinam arta si frumosul<span> </span>cu utilul si necesarul ne-am gandit sa nu ne oprim la simpla prezentare a unui produs. Sa facem un pas mai departe. <span> </span>Sa atasam produsului o poveste. Una frumoasa, fascinanta. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">In arta sunt atatea elemente fermecatoare, care se ivesc doar in urma studiului. Sunt atatea povesti tesute in spatele tablourilor sau ale fotografiilor celebre, intamplari fara de care tabloul ar fi mai sarac, opera incompleta. Din pacate, intamplarile sunt adesea uitate, nestiute sau ingropate in praful istoriei.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">In aceasta parte a blogului vrem sa aducem la iveala cate o poveste, cate o intamplare inedita, cate un fapt necunoscut dar fascinant. <strong>Unim produsul cu o intamplare si valoarea lui creste.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Fii liber ca atunci cand darui sa spui si povestea felicitarii. Surpriza este garantata. Farmecul asigurat. Fi la curent cu toate povestile vizitandu-ne regulat!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;" lang="RO">Daruind vorbesti despre tine! Fascineaza!</span></strong></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Génie de l'estampe mésestimé au pays du Soleil levant, en Europe sa "Grande Vague" fit couler autant d'encre que de comptes en banque, emportant les impressionnistes au large de la modernité. A l'heure où l'on célèbre l'oeuvre d'Hokusai (1760-1849) au musée Guimet, le souhait de cet artiste exubérant semble enfin exaucé : éveiller le plus grand nombre aux joies du "monde flottant".</p>

<p>A perfect new fabric from <a href="http://www.creations-metaphores.com">Creations Metaphores</a> for the start of a weekend at/near the beach. The far out wave pattern was inspired by 19th century paintings of <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ho/10/eaj/ho_JP1847.htm">Katsushika Hokusai</a>. I'm always interested to see the  translation / transformation of something old into something new -- especially across cultures and centuries.</p>

<p>Você pensava que Mangá era um fenômeno moderno? Eu também(!), até ir em mais uma linda <a href="http://japas.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/japao-e-gaudi-em-barcelona/" target="_blank">exposição</a> sobre <a href="http://japas.wordpress.com/2008/07/19/ukiyo-e-imagens-de-um-mundo-efemero/" target="_blank">Ukiyo-e</a>, e descobrir que já no ano de 1814 Hokusai fazia o primeiro mangá da história.</p>
<p>Os 15 volumes publicados (12 deles antes de 1820) incluem centenas de desenhos de animais, figuras religiosas e o cotidiano de pessoas, geralmente com um tom cômico. E você pode ver um deles clicando <a href="http://www.touchandturn.com/hokusai/" target="_blank">aqui</a></p>
<p>---------------------------------</p>
<p><strong>Controvérsias</strong></p>
<p>Bom, lendo especialistas sobre a história do mangá, tenho que dizer que há controvérsias sobre Hokusai ter sido o pai dos mangás, uma vez que seu estilo era muito diferente e a palavra deriva de caracteres chineses.</p>
<p>Segundo <a href="http://www.matt-thorn.com/" target="_blank">Matt Thorn</a>, antropólogo e autor de vários livros sobre o tema, a origem do mangá depende de como se define um mangá. "A palavra proriamente dita foi popularizada pelo famoso artista Hokusai, mas, ao contrário do que diz o mito popular, o termo não foi inventado por ele. A palavra é composta por dois caracteres chineses - o primeiro significando algo como "vago" e o segundo "imagem" - e tem sido usada para descrever vários tipos de imagens cômicas por pelo menos dois séculos."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La <a href="http://obrasocial.caixacatalunya.es/osocial/main.html?idioma=2" target="_blank">Fundació Caixa de Catalunya</a> acoge desde el 17 de junio hasta el 14 de septiembre la exposición “Ukiyo-e, imágenes de un mundo efímero”, una colección de grabados japoneses de los siglos XVIII y XIX en la que podemos encontrar, entre otros, obras de <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai" target="_blank">Hokusai</a> y <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshige" target="_blank">Hiroshige</a>.<br />
Populista como pocos, el <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e" target="_blank">Ukiyo-e</a> se convierte durante los siglos XVII y XX en una crónica urbana salpicada de costumbrismo y referencias al mundo del espectáculo, unas xilografías que han dejado una huella indeleble en el arte japonés del siglo XX-XXI.</p>

<p>In my continual quest for the perfect fish, I consult the masters.  This little guy jumped out of Hokusai's pond.  Or was it Hiroshige's (is there an art historian in the house?) -- well, out of the pond of one of those great old Japanese guys.  The old master was playing some scales.  Obviously he loved this fish's scales -- those beautiful scales rendered into refined patterns.</p>

<p>The Delicious, 4 guys from Indiana, bring us a song named after a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai">19th century japanese printmaker</a>. Interesting.<br />
Not too long, not too short "Hokusai" is fun, frantic pop with a hint of Hot Hot Heat.<br />
On a side note, I adore them for adding 'of Montreal' as an influence on their MySpace profile... even though they capitalized that infamously lowercase 'O'... </p>

Le tavole illustrate degli &#8220;Eroi Suikoden&#8221;, che fanno parte dei miti cinesi e giappones]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.japaneseprints-london.com/images/warriorslegends/warriors107.jpg" alt="" width="417" height="576" /></p>
<p>Le tavole illustrate degli "<strong>Eroi Suikoden"</strong>, che fanno parte dei miti cinesi e giapponesi, sono gli inconsapevoli padri dello stile giapponese, nonché fonte inesauribile d'ispirazione per tutti i tatuatori amanti dello stile classico.</p>
<p>Vennero prodotte nel 1589 per mano di bravi illustratori. Descrivevano alcuni episodi di una comunità composta da <strong>108 giovani fuori legge </strong>(costituita nel 1101) che, non accettando le società imperiale dell'epoca, si ribellarono ai funzionari corrotti dell'imperatore.</p>
<p>Le illustrazioni si basavano sulle leggendarie imprese di questo gruppo adorati dalle popolazioni che erano schiacciate da un forte e avido potere centrale. Questi eroi rappresentavano l'unica forma di giustizia contro le malefatte dei tiranni.</p>
<p>Queste tavole furono rielaborate nel 1760 da due grandi maestri giapponesi (di scrittura e di illustrazione), <strong><a href="http://www.nipponico.com/dizionario/h/hokusaikatsushika.php">Hokusai</a> e Kjokutei Bakin</strong>. Decisero di pubblicare la "<strong>La nuova edizione degli eroi Suikoden</strong>" (in 6 volumi), "ripescando" e "rimaneggiando" i miti popolari in chiave contemporanea. A differenza delle tavole del 1589, i toraci e le schiene degli eroi Suikoden non erano coperti da abiti e portavano delle <strong>decorazioni disegnate sulla pelle</strong>. Queste raffiguravano i s<strong>imboli religiosi tradizionali</strong> (come i draghi, i fiori di ciliegio, ecc..) tratti dalle decorazioni dalle vesti cerimoniali dei <strong>samurai </strong>e dalle <strong>pitture tradizionali</strong>. I due autori furono inconsapevoli pro-genitori del tatuaggio.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.japaneseprints-london.com/images/warriorslegends/warriors104.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="350" /></p>
<p>L'opera fu seguita da un largo strato della popolazione. Questo successo fu attribuito all'abilita dei due maestri di individuare un parallelismo tra i racconti del passato e la loro epoca e di aver saputo identificare con precisione i "malumori" di alcuni strati della popolazione e di averli rappresentati.</p>
<p>Infatti l'epoca di<strong> Hokusai e Bakin</strong>, chiamato "<strong>il periodo Edo</strong>" (<strong>Tokio</strong>), 1603/1867, fu caratterizzata da un forte controllo autoritario dell'imperatore. Le classi erano rigide. Il gran parte della popolazione viveva senza alcune speranza di far valere la propria "personalità" e di emergere. La classe dei mercanti rappresentavano lo strato piu insoddisfatto.</p>
<p>L'opera degli eroi Suikoden furono rielaborati anche da altri illustratori diventando parte della letteratura dell'epoca. Contemporaneamente i racconti degli eroi tatuati contribuirono a far nascere una forma di protesta silenziosa. Infatti gli strati della popolazione che volevano esprimere il proprio dissenso contro il potere centrale cominciarono a farsi riprodurre sul corpo alcune scene della mitologia Suikoden.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.japaneseprints-london.com/images/warriorslegends/warriors108.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="350" /></p>
<p>Alla fine del periodo Edo ci fu un grande cambiamento all'interno della rigida gerarchia: i <strong>samurai</strong> persero il loro ruolo al vertice della società a favore della nuova <strong>classe borghese</strong>, composta dai mercanti, alla quale fu riconosciuto il loro valore.</p>
<p>I borghesi che piu si erano identificati con gli eroi Suikoden vinsero la loro guerra contro il potere prestabilito e dettero vita, insieme a Hokusai e gli altri illustratori, allo stile giapponese del tatuaggio.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last friday, I left on a trip to New Jersey from school for Rider Cup, and along the way, we stopped at the Porter Exchange. The Porter Exchange is the ground level of a Lesley University building in Caimbridge. There are lots of japanese stores. I saw a Shiseido salon (!!! I love hair), a japanese bakery (I got a cream puff after watching too much Absolute Boyfriend), a japanese merchandise store (kimonos, t-shirts, tea sets, oriental papers, etc.), lots of ramen stores/noodle shops, and there were a few others that we didn't have the time to go look in. Best of all, was Kotobukiya - a Japanese mart. I got so many good things there:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gatsby Moving Rubber Nuance Motion</li>
<li>Almond Crush Pocky</li>
<li>Chocolate Desert Pocky</li>
<li>Hazelnut Pocky (I think)</li>
<li>and the Original Choco Pocky!!    then...</li>
<li>Mango, Grape, and Green Apple HiChew</li>
<li>Marukawa Chewing Gum 7 Pack</li>
<li>and (of course) Kats<a href="http://mildeights.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/marukawa1.jpg"></a>ushika Hokusai chopsticks with "The Great Wave of Kanagawa" image on them. I got them in order to celebrate my completed recreation of the great wave print for a school project. (painting that thing was HARD)</li>
</ul>
<p>I have no idea what the frog flavor is.<img class="size-medium wp-image-28" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0;margin:0;" src="http://mildeights.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/goodmaru.jpg?w=202" alt="" width="202" height="263" /></p>
<p>Yes!!!! I finally got Gatsby!!!! I was so happy - I've been looking for some Gatsby product for months now, and I finally found it! So excited to use it!! (I love hair, cutting hair, and styling hair. especially VK styles). Anyhoo, I'm so stereotypical with my selection of Pocky and HiChew. But, now I don't have to ask my asian friends for them, so it's all good. I saw tons of magazines in Kotobukiya, too - the King from Ikebukuro West Gate Park was an the cover of one - I was so proud of myself for recognising him!!! Ah! I should have looked for an AnAn issue. Or Shoxx. I also wanted to try the riceballs a Next time I go, we'll spend the day. (hopefully)</p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><a title="Shunga" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunga">Shunga </a>är vad man brukar kalla japanska träsnitt med erotiska motiv. Bilderna användes både av glädjeflickor och som läroböcker för nygifta.<!--more--></p>
<p>Jämfört med andra träsnitt så gav de erotiska träsnitten bättre betalt och de var lätta att sälja. De flesta japanska träsnittkonstnärer har därför gjort shungabilder sedan 1500-talet fram till 1800-talet. Sedan förra sommaren visar <a title="Shunga, vårbilder" href="http://www.lammgard.se/designmuseum/shunga.htm">Röhsska museet</a> i Göteborg en utställning med shungabilder. Från den utställningen kommer de två bilderna ovan, de ingår i museets nyförvärv av shungabilder.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is for my buddy Binh, who a few weeks ago, noticed this print while we were eating sushi at Ichiban one night. (As always, you can click on the image for a closer look.)</p>
<p><a href="http://screentone.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/hokusai-wave.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-83" src="http://screentone.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/hokusai-wave.jpg" alt="" width="449" height="304" /></a></p>
<p>Binh asked me if I knew who did it and I had no idea; I assumed it was anonymous. You see it everywhere, so it's not even something you think about.</p>
<p>It turns out, that this painting was done by the incredibly talented (and prolific) Japanese painter Hokusai, pronounced "Hawkseye." The name of the print is, "The Great Wave off Kanagawa."</p>
<p>The only reason I know any of this is because of <a title="Cartoon Brew" href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/" target="_blank">Cartoon Brew</a>,  where they had a post about the short film, <a title="Hokusai" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmFGtsG_EgA" target="_blank">"Hokusai-An Animated Sketchbook"</a> done by animator <a title="Tony White" href="http://blog.animaticus.com/" target="_blank">Tony White</a>. White is a British Academy Award winner and the film is terrific; be sure to check it out.</p>
<p>And you know, I must have seen this image a thousand times and never noticed the boats before. And, just look at that sea spray. Do you see Mt. Fuji in the background? It took this <a title="Great Wave" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa">Wikipedia article</a> to point it out to me.</p>
<p>If you're half as geeky as I am, you can continue to delve even deeper into Hokusai, <a title="Hokusai" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai">here.</a></p>
<p>I love the internet.</p>
<p>Adios.</p>

From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Shinoda">Mike Shinoda's</a> <a href="http://heavymetalmusic.biz/2008/05/06/are-you-going-to-this-mike-shinoda-of-linkin-park-art-tour-thing/">exhibit</a> at the <a href="http://www.janm.org/">Japanese American National Museum</a> to the <a href="http://southsidejournal.stltoday.com/articles/2008/05/11/news/sj2tn20080506-0507ssj-kitty0.ii1.txt">Hello Kitty exhibit</a> in St. Louis to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gajin_Fujita">Gajin Fujita's</a> <a href="http://www.haunchofvenison.com/en/#page=london.current.gajin_fujita">graffiti exhibit</a> in London, there has been a plethora of cool stuff happening around the globe. Well, there's more to come.</p>
<p>The <a href="www.brooklynmuseum.org">Brooklyn Museum</a> in New York is home to the latest art show that the Hawaii Herald wants to direct you to. The exhibit <a href="http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/japonisme/">Japonisme in American Graphic Art, 1880–1920</a> "explores the myriad manifestations of Japonisme in a selection of rarely seen American works on paper from the Brooklyn Museum’s permanent collection. Concurrent with the so-called 'Japan craze' in America was a renewed interest in graphic arts: as watercolor, pastel, etching, and other graphic media came to be appreciated for their artistry and expressivity, they also reflected the impact of Japanese art."</p>
<p>As if that weren't enough, the Japonisme showcase, which runs from April 16 to October 12, will complement the current exhibit <a href="http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/utagawa/">Utagawa: Masters of the Japanese Print, 1770–1900</a>, a collection of woodblock prints, which runs until June 15.</p>
<p>For those of you not entirely sure what Japonisme is, click <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japonism">here</a>. In short, the French word describes the influence Japanese artists, such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai">Hokusai</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utamaro">Utamoro</a>,  had on Western artists like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Monet">Monet</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Van_Gogh">van Gogh</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manet">Manet</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auguste_Renoir">Renoir</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://japas.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/inume-pass.jpg"></a><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-607" src="http://japas.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/fuji18.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="348" /></span></p>
<p>Apaixonada pelos trabalhos de Hokusai (1760 a 1849) e Hiroshige (1797 a 1858), eu tinha guardado uma grande expectativa para quando chegasse em Tóquio: <strong>ver o Monte Fuji</strong>. Nos primeiros dias que estive por lá, o céu nublado (em Tóquio e no Monte) dificultava a visibilidade. Eu nem consegui saber para que lado ele ficava.</p>
<p>Subi na Mori Tower (que dá uma visão de 360graus da cidade e arredores) e nada. Na foto abaixo, ele estaria bem atrás de mim, um pouco à direita da torre laranja (Tokio Tower), caso o dia estivesse mais claro.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://japas.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/img_4409.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-606" src="http://japas.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/img_4409.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Os dias se passaram, o tempo não abria, e eu fui achando que aquele fascinante vulcão adormecido, "pintado" de gelo no topo, não faria parte da minha paisagem nipônica.</p>
<p>E foi no meu último dia de Tóquio, me preparando para seguir viagem para Kioto que, da janela do hotel, eu fui agraciada com a seguinte - e emocionante - vista!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://japas.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/img_4533.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-603 aligncenter" src="http://japas.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/img_4533.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
