Title: Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine, Kamakura (1953)

Artist: Kasamatsu Shiro

https://www.hachimangu.or.jp/en/ #KasamatsuShiro #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #Autumn #TsurugaokaHachimangu #Kamakura #Japan
A view of the grounds of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu on a bright autumn day. A pair of miko in customary red and white cross the courtyard at the base of the Great Stone Steps. To our left, the leaves of a tall, robust tree have gone yellow and orange with the turning season; to our right, another tree is still green. Visitors to the shrine climb and descend the steps; above them, at the top of the steps, the multi-story red-painted Main Shrine stands tall. Above the shrine, birds fly in a clear blue sky

A view of a rural street in a mountain village at Iwate's Namari Onsen. There has been a recent rain, and puddles lie across the surface of the irregular road. Large houses stand on either side of the road and at the end of the street. At the house on the right, the sliding doors and windows are open, and laundry has been hung out to dry on the engawa, where a female figure is kneeling down, talking to a small child. Above, a patchwork of healthy-looking moss covers the steeply slanted thatched roof. At the house on the left, two children occupy the doorstep, one standing, one sitting. Beyond the village, tall green mountains flanked with puffy white clouds rise against a blue sky


Midwestern flora and fauna are the foundation for Carol Long’s lavishly adorned sculptures, which elegantly meld Art Nouveau embellishments with natural motifs.

For today's #MinCup23 match I already posted folklore (see retoots), but I just wanted to add that topaz is also a card in the Telluric Tarot deck, and I will never stop gushing about this deck 😄 Topaz is the Strength card, by the way.

After 20 yrs, #BillWillingham releases #Fables into the #PublicDomain. *HE* is still under contract with #DCComics for future work / #royalties / project approval, but the public is not, not bound by #trademarks or #copyright, & free to do as they like with it in #FanFic & other forms of #art.

He's had disputes with DC Comics forever w/o much relief & this is one of his ways to fight back.

Title: Konjikido Golden Hall - Chuson-ji, Hiraizumi (1935)

Artist: Hasui Kawase

https://chusonji.or.jp/language_en/index.html #HasuiKawase #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #Buddhist #ChusonJi #Hiraizumi #Iwate #Japan
An evening view looking up the stone steps leading to the Konjikido Golden Hall at Chuson-ji. Tall trees stand to the left and right of the path, the light of an unseen moon casting dappled shadows across the stones. Ahead, at the top of the rise, a corner of the building can be seen, surrounded and backed by more tall trees. Above, a single star shines in the clear night sky


I don't have anything folkloric to say about today's #MinCup23 match, but they are both featured in the Telluric Tarot by Lunaria Gold (my favorite deck ever).

Crocoite is 7 of Wands, dioptase is Page of Cups.

Art lovers! Vote quartz! There's a long history of quartz being carved into beautiful pieces.

Have you ever visited a museum or gallery and seen something carved out of rock crystal? Well that's just a colourless variety of quartz. This is a Fatimid (#Egyptian) jug carved from quartz, late 10th to early 11th century

A jug carved from colourless quartz. There are various animals and floral patterns carved into the quartz. The base, handle and lid/spout are made of gold with colourful enamelling.


So there's a #Kickstarter project for a tarot deck based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas, which is an ancient Chinese text of mythical lands and creatures. The artwork is pretty stunning, and I LOVE this concept.

Topic 1: Cartoons and Animation

Book:
Queens of Animation: The untold story of the women who transformed the world of Disney and made cinematic history, by Nathalia Holt

This one was a fascinating read about the first woman animators and story artists hired by Walt Disney, and their lasting effect on the most famous Disney movies.
Most of it was new to me, and I loved the details about their lives and personalities.
