- Yakushima: a view of the southern coast
A rough coast through a long lens. This was taken from the verandah of the room where we were staying. - Osaka Steamship #5
It all comes together in this one, my favourite of the bunch. It's a superb illustration and perfectly pitched advertising: beautifully executed and richly sentimental. - Picturing the moon
My daughter taking a picture of the moon on Yakushima. - Eijyuusha
As of about 1:20 p.m. last Wednesday afternoon, I am a permanent resident — 永住者 — of the great nation of Japan. - Yakushima forest
A good example of the type of forest you see on Yakushima just under a kilometre or so above sea level. (Now with desktop versions.) - Planet Earth: now with more obesity than hunger
Anyone inclined to a sense of genuinely absurd injustice will not be surprised to learn that the obese now outnumber the hungry. - Osaka Steamship #4
My least favourite of the bunch, but why exactly? - Two onigawara from Yakushima
Of course you knew you were going to see onigawara from Yakushima - Specially trained attack medaka
I noticed they seem to go after the larvae that give them a bit of a chase, ignoring the easy ones right in front of them. They're sporting about it, and not unaware of the thrill of the hunt, bless their carnivorous little souls. I hope they prosper and multiply (within balance). - Vigourously ongoing
Imagine a roughly circular granite island 12 kilometres in diameter which rises to a series of peaks approaching 2 kilometres above sea level, the highlands of which receive, on average, 8,000 milimetres of rain a year (yes, that's 8 metres of rain annually). You'd expect the water and the rock to come to some pretty interesting arrangements over the millennia. On Yakushima they most certainly have, and negotiations are vigourously ongoing. - Osaka Steamship #3 -- let the vulture soar
Speaking of islands and journeys by sea, we reach the halfway point in the Osaka Steamship series with this postcard, certainly, to my eyes, the weirdest of the bunch. - Yakushima here we come
Where the trees have "the power of words" - Osaka Steamship #2
Is it rude to blog at dinner? - Osaka Mercantile Steamship postcards
Found in the second-hand bookstore today a set of postcards representing great advertising moments from the history of the 大阪商船会社 -- or the Osaka Mercantile Steamship Co. Ltd., as one of the postcards has it. I'll post some over the next few days. - Refugee Film Festival
If you're anywhere near Tokyo, try to see some of the films in the first [Refugee Film Festival](http://unhcr.or.jp/news/event/20060720_RefugeeFilmFestival.html). The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee Representation in Japan is organising the event, and it looks like they'll be showing some must-see work.
