This woodblock print by Japanese artist Yamamura Kōka (山村耕花) is important not only for its glamour but for what it represents in Japanese modern art. It is widely regarded as one of the earliest … and often described as the first … shin-hanga (新版画) images of the moga (モガ), or “modern girl”: who were urban, fashionable, socially visible, and shaped by new forms of leisure. Rather than an older idealized bijinga type, these women occupy a cosmopolitan public world of nightlife, performance, and looking. Two women sit at a round white-clothed café table in the foreground, watching a line of dancers beyond. At left, a pale-skinned woman with a sleek auburn bob leans her chin on her hand. Her peach-pink dress slips off one shoulder, and a vivid red shawl patterned with large flowers spills across her lap. At right, another woman sits with her back partly turned, wearing a sleeveless black dress covered in blue, coral, and cream floral forms. She wears a bright red cloche hat decorated with flowers and holds an open fan edged in peacock colors. On the table are a pair of stemmed cocktail glasses. In the background, four women dance with almost unseen men. Each woman dances with her back to us and with raised arms beneath tall blue arches. Their bobbed hair, sleeveless dresses, and rhythmic poses give the scene an airy, stylish energy. Yamamura flattens space into soft blue and cream planes, using elegant contour and decorative pattern to make the room feel modern, theatrical, and sophisticated. Shanghai matters here. By placing the scene in the New Carlton Café, Yamamura presents the city as a 1920s international contact zone where Japanese print design, Western-style dance culture, and Art Deco sensibility meet. Better known for actor prints, he turns instead to women whose poise and independence signal a changing era. The result is both elegant and quietly radical with beauty redefined through modern motion, public pleasure, and female presence.

The Oscars is next , and surely the “ Melania “ documentary will win.
Pretty sure the only reason ‘Melania’ didn’t receive a deserved nomination for Best Documentary was that it wasn’t out in time to make the shortlist.
Next year for sure.
You read it here first.

Don't wait until death - give the flowers now. There is plenty of time for beautiful flowers during a home funeral, but don't let that be first flowers they receive.
We focus a lot on love continuing past death - but don't wait. Love now. ❤️
