One Hundred Views of the Moon by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi 1/ Moon over Mount Inaba 2/Moon at the gate of Suzaku 3/ Cooling down at the river near Shijo 4/Patrol in the moonlight 5/Moon over the sea near Daimotsu. Color woodblock prints, Japan, 1885 © Nihon no hanga Amsterdam. Exhibition Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, til January 9, 2022. Cologne, Germany, 

Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was the last great woodblock artist in the tradition of Japanese ukiyo-e, and the One Hundred Aspects of the Moon is considered his greatest creation. The series brings to life the history and mythology of ancient Japan. In all prints the moon plays a prominent role, sometimes it is clearly visible, sometimes it is referred to only in the beautiful poems of the text cartouches.

The Kite Chair by Nendo

In the search for a comfortable chair with a small footprint for common spaces, that doesn’t compromise on back rest, the Japanese designer Nendo made use of the shape of kite seats to create the Kite series of four comfortable chairs.
