Published in early 1930 for Osaka’s historic Bentenza theater in Dōtonbori, this striking cover for Bentenza Weekly (Bentenza Wīkurī) by illustrator Kōzo Yamanaka (山中幸作) is a masterclass in Shōwa-era avant-garde graphic design.

The composition deconstructs the stylized silhouette of a moga (Modern Girl) into a sleek, Constructivist assembly of sharp angular planes, delicate intersecting lines, and sweeping circular arcs. Executed in a refined palette of dusty mauve-pink, soft cream, and deep jet black, the figure stands out against a backdrop of horizontal rule lines and a geometric grid matrix in the upper right. Along the right margin, stylized, ultra-modern English typography (BENTENZA WEEKLY 2.9.) runs vertically alongside crisp Japanese text, echoing the architectural precision of Bauhaus and Art Deco layout principles. During the interwar period, Dōtonbori's famous theater district was at the epicenter of Japanese cosmopolitan culture; pieces like this cover highlight how Osaka’s commercial arts scene seamlessly embraced international modernism to redefine the visual identity of urban entertainment.

‼️'MPs have had their stomachs pumped.' 🍺 Turns out Hannah Spencer was right when she said that Westminster's drinking culture is “unprofessional and worrying” and leads to “questionable and dangerous behaviour”. ⏳️ It's time to end Parliament's drinking culture.

12 signed copies of Mapless in the mail on 7/31, to be delivered this week if all goes well. I have ordered more! and still have about 5 copies of Becoming Altar I am willing to sell, if you would like a signed and inscribed copy. Hit me up for either book and I will make it happen. 📚 👀 ❤️

Books vs AI

US tech companies are secretly destroying millions of rare books to feed their AI models. But world leaders could stop this: sign to protect our collective heritage.

Please sign and share this petition to stop supermarkets throwing away perfectly good food and make them donate it instead (which is what they used to do!) petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Petition: Ban all supermarkets from throwing away edible food & require their donation

Everyday, UK supermarkets throw away tonnes of edible food while millions of people rely on food banks to survive. We believe this is wrong, and that food that is safe to eat should not end up in bins...

woodblock print, published in the fourth month of 1857, is a celebrated landscape masterpiece from the crowning late-career series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo Hyakkei) by the immortal ukiyo-e titan Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858).

Titled Meguro Shin-Fuji (New Fuji at Meguro), this celebrated woodblock print from Utagawa Hiroshige’s masterwork series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo Hyakkei) offers a brilliant visual play on scale, pilgrimage, and seasonal leisure. The composition centers on a prominent, grass-covered fujizuka—an artificial miniature Mount Fuji constructed in 1829 in Meguro to allow urban Edoites and members of local Fuji Kō devotional sects to participate in the spiritual practice of "climbing Fuji" without leaving the city. In the foreground, a winding stream framed by cherry blossoms (sakura) in full spring bloom draws sightseers toward tea stalls (chaya) and up the gentle, zig-zagging path of the mound. Far in the distance, echoing the artificial hill across a low mist-filled valley, the true snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji rises majestically against a glowing, crimson-and-gold bokashi gradient sky. Through this clever juxtaposition of the man-made mound and the sacred mountain beyond, Hiroshige masterfully captures both the lively spirit of Edo’s spring hanami excursions and the enduring cultural reverence for Japan's most sacred peak.
