Sequin Worldmy favourite is Red Fuji
apparently there is no snow on Mt Fuji at the moment and everyone in Japan is waiting for the winter weather, seems the latest it's arrived in previous years was 26th of October, it's very late ❄️🏔
Chris Bond@sequinworld @gutenberg_org Aye! I saw that it was the latest recorded.
Jason Robinson 🐍 🍻 🚴@[email protected] Mount Fuji, now without snow for the first ime :(
Reasie@gutenberg_org I spent years fantasizing about making a 36 views of the Terminal Tower print series as I spy the building on my various commutes.

An NHK drama about his lesser known daughter O-ei
Part 1 (English subtitled version) - Kurara: The Dazzling Life of Hokusai's Daughter | NHK WORLD-JAPAN
The life of a talented painter trapped in the shadow of an iconic artist. Kurara: Japanese word for dazzling, mesmerizing brilliance. The act of painting was always kurara to O-Ei, the daughter of the Edo period master painter Katsushika Hokusai. Since her childhood, she was captivated by painting. O-Ei marries a town painter, but she soon chooses art over marriage and divorces him. Once she returns to the family home, she begins assisting her father. O-Ei is by his side as he completes his iconic "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series. When Hokusai grew too old to wield his brush freely, O-Ei becomes his "brush" and paints on his behalf. It's during this time that she starts to grow a strong fascination with colors as she finally develops her own painting style.
