“If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”
—Vincent Van Gogh

‘The Mitsui Store at Suruga-cho in Edo’ from the series 36 Views of Mt. Fuji, 1832, Hokusai Katsushika
This print offers a view of the rooftop of Echigoya (sometimes called Mitsui Clothing Store), a kimono-fabric retailer established in 1673 and the predecessor to the Mitsukoshi department store, founded in 1903. Signs on both sides of the Suruga-cho thoroughfare display the historic Mitsui crest, and this elevated vantage point effectively contrasts the bustle of the vast number of retail businesses with the peaceful solitude of Mt Fuji

Hokusai Katsushika - Bullfinch and Weeping Cherry Blossoms 1834, Japan
[Guillaume Gris]
“A flower is seen only toward the end of its life, just-bloomed and already on its way to being brown paper. And maybe all names are illusions. How often do we name something after its briefest form? Rose bush, rain,”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
