Taiga's "Bamboo in Fine Weather after Rain" transforms landscape into a surreal dialogue, merging tradition with abstraction. The bamboo's delicate presence juxtaposes nature’s might and human fragility. How do you interpret this tension in his art?

Contrary to appearance, this is not a public toilet, but is known as kuhachi-ya, an Edo period-style sake drinking house. The inscription on the wooden sign next to my wife reads: "Do not fill sake cup to the brim. Nine-tenths in the daytime, eight-tenths at night. It is wise to keep a modest attitude to all things."

I wonder if the French government were thinking of this when they introduced the Loi Evin on the promotion and sale of alcoholic beverages and the industry pushback to include the tagline "A consommer avec modération"?
