How to paint music?

Oguna is playing a song for Phoenix. The Phoenix is so enchanted, that in the end she will offer him immortality. But now the only thing that matters are the sounds of Oguna’s flute filling the air.

Actually, this song was even written. The Phoenix series was an inspiration for British band System 7 to create a whole album. The Song for the Phoenix is one of its tracks. I will upload it soon.

From Phoenix: Yamato by Osamu Tezuka

Japanese Wisteria Tunnel

These photos were taken at the Kawachi Fuji Garden, about a four hour drive from Tokyo, but there are wisteria festivals all over Japan, including at the Kameido-Tenjin Shrine, where tourists in the Edo period often visited the famous wisteria; the Wake Wisteria Park, in Wake-cho, Okayama, and at Ashikaga Flower Park, which has three massive wisteria trellises that extend 3,280 feet squared. (Time Out Tokyo has a list of additional notable wisteria around the city worth visiting.)

Oh.

Wow.
