The extraordinary porcelain of Japanese ceramic master Tokuda Yasokichi III
His Saiyū glazing technique transformed traditional Kutani ceramics into brilliant color spectrums of cobalt
Developed in the 1970s, his work earned him Japan’s prestigious Living National Treasure designation in 1997
If you need a random color (e.g. procedurally coloring objects), you should use Oklab or Oklch color space instead of RGB or HSV. RGB may span the whole spectrum, but it does not pick fairly (leaning dark/muddy).
Oklab is designed to more closely map to how we perceive color

the reason you don’t have to fear social media mobs is that people with high screen-time beliefs also tend to have very low IRL efficacy

John Provencher (@hahajohnx) is a NY based master of the retro mutating pixel and energy field illustration. His stuff for Bloomberg, A24, and NYT is just so so good. Total legend.

Koleksiyonumun ender saatlerinden: 1961, urushi lakeli kasalı, kapaklı Seiko kimono saati.
Saatin püskülü kimono kemerinin(obi) içine kolayca sokulabilsin diye elle örülmüş ve saate toz girmesin diye de kasa özel kapaklı ve urushi lakeli işçilikle yapılmıştır, mekanizma tarafındaysa klasik bir 21 numaralı Seiko cep saati kurmalı mekanizması kullanılmıştır.
Diğer yandan bence ilginçtir, bu tip kapaklı edisyonlara yaygın şekilde Momotaro da derler ki bu da aslen eski bir Japon anlatısına dayanır:
Büyük bir şeftalinin içinden çıkan bir çocuk, büyüdüğünde yaratıklarla mücadele eder ki Japon edebiyatında da epey yeri vardır, bu yüzden adı da Şeftali Çocuk anlamında Momotaro’dur.
Burada sanıyorum şeftaliden çıkan çocukla gizli kapaklı bir kasanın içinden çıkan saatle bir alegori kurulmuştur. Ondan bu edisyonlara da Momotaro denmiştir. Bence güzel ve tatlı bir hikaye olduğundan bunu da ekleyeyim istedim.🙌
