Japan by Kimbei Kusakabe
It's amazing to see how many end of the 19th century's photos of Japan can be found. This collection of 100 photos is also lovely and can be explored online in this set on Flickr by the New York Public Library.
Interested in literature, arts, history, photography, nature, politics, people, travelling, cinema all supplemented by a large quantity of music.
The Blog of No Return. This is where I will post vintage art, photography and illustration from now on.

Most of the images I use are either in the public domain or have a Creative Commons licence. I try to credit as accurately as possible. When linking to living artists I like I might use a few images as "fair use" while crediting the artists and encouraging any visitors to see their websites. Obviously if any of the listed artists object to this use of their work (I don't make a penny out of it) they can let me know and I will remove it as soon as possible.
