Positioned above the historic main entrance along the Shinsaibashisuji arcade, this relief tympanum features the celebrated peacock (kujaku) lunette—perhaps the most famous single motif of William Merrell Vories’ masterwork for the Daimaru Shinsaibashi store. At the center stands a proudly sculpted peacock in polychrome glazed ceramic, its grandly fanned tail feathers picking out rich accents of cobalt blue, soft yellow, and sage green against a pale stone body. Framing the central bird are sweeping, classical acanthus scrollwork and floral arabesques set against a sky-blue ground, bounded by massive carved stone volutes and rosettes. Overhead, the arching pediment terminates in a decorative keystone carved with an urn motif, while a lower lintel band features a continuous frieze of detailed scallop shells and floral roundels. Blending Neo-Renaissance relief sculpture with Art Deco theatricality, Vories transformed the retailer’s avian emblem into an iconic monument of Osaka’s urban heritage.

Dieses Haus ist der Wahnsinn. Als ob jemand freie Flächen nicht ertragen konnte. Überall gibt es was zu sehen. Wenn ihr könnt geht’s dorthin.

In Benin erinnert das „Tor ohne Wiederkehr“ an Hunderttausende Menschen, die von hier nach Nord- und Südamerika als Sklaven verschleppt wurden. Ein Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit, von dem Europa immer noch kaum etwas wissen will, seine rassistischen rechten Parteien noch weniger.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Dr. Matthew Niemiller discovered a bizarre-looking fish in Alabama that resembles the stuff of sci-fi dramas – and, fittingly, it has been dubbed Demogorgonichthys arcanus, a name derived from the monster Demogorgon in the Netflix TV series “Stranger Things.” https://cnn.it/3RG3UlE

Edited by the renowned artist and printmaker Ishii Hakutei (石井柏亭, 1882–1958) and published in 1916 (Taishō 5) by Oranda-shoten, this woodblock print plate originates from Gendai Meika Zuan-shū (現代名家図案集—"Collection of Designs by Modern Masters").

Depicting delicate fern fronds (shida) and unfurling fiddleheads emerging against a deep black field, the composition exemplifies the innovative spirit of early 20th-century Japanese zuan (applied design) albums. The design balances organic realism with graphic modernization, rendering the fronds in muted sage-green and earthy rust-red tones. Set off-center to emphasize negative space (yohaku), the rhythm of the delicate, saw-toothed pinnae and curled stems reflects the intersection of traditional Japanese nature motifs with contemporary European Art Nouveau sensibilities—a hallmark of Taishō-era avant-garde visual arts and decorative design.
