Light and sound, and how they are always and never the same. The distance between people. How words unfold when given space.

淋しいぞ一人五本のゆびを開いて見る

Lonely yes alone I open the five fingers and look at them

"Corrosion offers a profound, unexpected beauty... Corrosion mirrors our own aging process such as the lines on our faces, the gradual wearing down of our bodies, the stories etched into our very being. It speaks of endurance, of resilience, and of the inevitable return to dust."

Yokihi Kannon, Sennyuji Temple, Kyoto. I was lucky to see this statue of the Bodhisattva of Compassion earlier this year. Brought in the 13th century from China to Japan, it was later named after the legendary Chinese beauty Yang Guifei. The image is from a postcard sold at the temple.

When I saw the photo, I immediately had to think of a wrathful angel or perhaps a tengu. But I'm sure he is actually adorable in reality!

Wonderful album. So many different textures and colours. Absolutely love it!
He looks very supernatural here, almost a bit scary!
The faint reverberations of distant centuries and forgotten voices, preserved only as an invisible, half-imagined patina on the surface of old things, are made audible in this haunting new release by @avantologist.bsky.social

Beautiful. Feels very alive. And I love the cover art too!
This looks like a wonderful place! It reminds me a bit of a hike I did in the Kansai region.
露の世は露の世ながらさりながら

This world of dew
is only a world of dew—
and yet

Love this one. Truly mesmerising stuff!
長閑なる折こそなけれ花を思ふ心のうちに風はふかねど

There is not even a moment of calmness.
In the heart that loves the blossoms,
the wind is already blowing.
