magnetic glimpses: Out the window and on a screen
http://magneticglimpses.blogspot.com/2010/11/out-window-and-on-screen.html
Saturday, November 20, 2010. Out the window and on a screen. One attributed to Toyoshige from an album of 12 lovers in front of decorative screens. This series has a wonderful scene within an scene framing of the screens- but only one of Fuji. They have quiet a large selection of images- more available here than from some museum websites. Their descriptions of the condition of the prints can be quiet amusing such as this one for Utamaro,. Or Kunisada II,. Two couples under a blue umbrella". Its dangerous...

magnetic glimpses: Another mountain
http://magneticglimpses.blogspot.com/2011/05/another-mountain.html
Monday, May 16, 2011. I've been travelling to Hobart pretty regularly since November 2003, mostly to make art. Last week I finally got to show my work in Tasmania at CAST. When I was down there last week I had a very odd realisation- Mt Wellington was my first "Mt Fuji". It's shape is completely different but the way it's celebrated in art history and how you watch it is similar. From the moment it greets you as you come over the ridge from the airport it shapes your experience of the city and the weather.

magnetic glimpses: Stillness and movement- Sarah's soles
http://magneticglimpses.blogspot.com/2010/06/stillness-and-movement-sarahs-soles.html
Friday, June 4, 2010. Stillness and movement- Sarah's soles. Bought at ABC Mart in Tokyo, Sarah's shoes are the largest men's size. She said a shop assistant ran from the Shinjuku. Store she was in, a couple of blocks and back to bring her the right size. I love the concentric circles round the sun. The Great Wave off Kanagawa. I haven't really been much of a Nipponofile. Until going there and certainly wasn't interested in Fuji. I like the literal translation. Of the title suggested at Wikipedia. No I d...

magnetic glimpses: Diamond Fuji wishes
http://magneticglimpses.blogspot.com/2013/02/diamond-fuji-wishes.html
Thursday, February 14, 2013. I love the internet, for all sorts of reasons, but today I love it because of live cams. Yamanashi Prefecture have a camera set up in Nagaike Park. On Lake Yamanaka, which is marked with the A in the picture below. The picture above is also from that location. There is a nice Volcano Fuji moment after the sun goes below the rim. There weren't many photographer out today- perhaps because of the threat of clouds and it being a work day. I only spotted one or two people movi...

magnetic glimpses: a question answered
http://magneticglimpses.blogspot.com/2011/01/question-answered.html
Sunday, January 2, 2011. When I was in Japan in the first part of last year, I came across these wonderful Fuji stickers. I guessed that the red Fuji was for sunset or sunrise, and that the hawks where something do with the birds you usually see once you are up at that altitude, but for the life of me I could not work out what the eggplants where for. The mystery remained unsolved. Till I came home from my second trip in September and my dear friend Anna lent me a book- 100 views of Mount Fuji. Province ...
