"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

The epitome of distillation...
Ah me! I am one
who spends his little
breakfast
Morning-glory gazing
From this page... Haiku of Basho
(got to have a pretty picture to go with that; fingers crossed I'm not being too ambitious!)

Another example of omitting the superfluous to accent the essential. Very basically, the wood block is a 'line drawing' embellished by areas of flat colour and pattern that create a sense of solidity to the form (another reminiscent of Klimpt?). Japanese wood block print by Hanagoyomi c 1848.

You Are a Maze

You can be confusing, tiring, and deceptive. But at the end of it all, you're sweet.
You believe there are many ways to get to an answer...
And you are willing to explore every single one of them!
What Kind of Puzzle Are You?

This ivory netsuke is 5.4 cm tall. Brownie points to the Victoria & Albert museum for their website; not only do they have a far superior site with far more information and excellent photography of their exhibits, the images will zoom to larger that life size for a better idea of the detail.
(The photo will link to the correct page - for some unknown reason the page thumbnail links to an error page)

Hippo ivory netsuke (don't shoot me - it's on an antiques site), man with dragon. Doesn't provide the dimensions unfortunately and as it's for sale the link will probably fail at some point. There is a block on photoblogging it too. Don't bother looking at this one - I'll find a better one elsewhere.

Sometimes there can be more content in a 'patch' than an acre of canvas. One by Samuel Cooper, from The Royal Collection - for Aliasinkhorn

Another 'patch' from one of the most famous 'patchers', Nicholas Hilliard, it will zoom to larger than the original too if you go to the site - for Aliasinkhorn.
