This is a gorgeous high resolution image (Google Art Project) of one of
my favorite Ukiyo-e artists - Suzuki Harunobu. I don't know how the
women of the Edo period could on those wooden shoes at least not very
far.

Yumiko Kayukawa -
Madness (2013)
I had the pleasure to see Sweet Yumiko's "Madness" show opening on
Saturday at the Shooting
Gallery in San Francisco, which is just a short walk from the Civic
Center Bart station. On the Bart, I was totally enthralled reading
The
Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami . As I walked up Hyde
St. to Geary, it was like being in a chapter from the book. BTW, I
walked back on Larkin. I think Larkin is a little less shaky.
When I got to the Shooting Gallery, it was a real feast for the eyes
to see Yumiko's paintings hanging in the main gallery. I had
been blogging her artwork since 2006, but had never seen her work in
vivo. Her paint precision brush strokes are very crisp and flat looking
almost as if they were printed on the canvas. I'm not sure how she
manages that, but the effect is very stunning. Her subject matter
usually involves a beautiful female figure surrounded by various animals,
e.g., cranes, elephants, tigers that are engaged in a whimsical Japanese
flavored activity. I also got to meet Yumiko briefly and her
companion. She was very attractive, friendly, and was interested in
which works of art I liked best. Here are a few of my favorites
from the show, but it was hard to choose. The show runs until June
29th. Check it out if you are in the area. I'm glad I went.
It was fun.
