This ukiyo-e woodblock print, created in the 1810s by Utagawa Toyokuni I, depicts Ono no Komachi, one of the most celebrated poets of the early Heian period and a legendary icon of feminine beauty. She is shown in a luxurious, multi-layered jūnihitoe (twelve-layered robe) featuring complex floral patterns of cherry blossoms and geometric hanabishi motifs, typical of the high-ranking court women of her era. Her long, flowing black hair and the delicate floral crown she wears further emphasize her status and the refined courtly culture she inhabited.

This painting, titled "L'escalier" (The Staircase), was created by French painter Marc Chalmé, known for his mastery of shadow and light, often compared to Vermeer. His work captures "still light" in landscapes, still lifes, and scenes like this.

Noh is a classical Japanese performance art combining masked drama with slow, dance-like movement, chant & music. This mask is part of a set carved over 200 years ago. Horned masks represent 'hannya', beautiful women transformed through jealous rage into demons seeking revenge on unfaithful lovers.

This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar.

The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue.

The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.
