Pictures of the Floating World
Ukiyo-e (Pictures of the Floating World), is a genre of Japanese art from the 17th-19th centuries that has produced and inspired some of the most treasured woodblock prints.
I also share bits of Japanese culture.

- I've had two stuffed peacocks on driftwood in my apt since the 1990's, When they die, they do not rot or decay for a very long time making them ideal for taxidermy & as a symbol or immortality. In Honolulu I saw white peafowl for the first time (wow). Yang Shanshen (Chinese painter) White Peacocks
- This woodblock takes me back to the year I lived on Maui (decades ago). A friend had a boat that offered sunset cruises and we'd look back on the W.Maui Mountains, often surrounded by Humpback Whales. I moved to Honolulu for 2 years after that.
