#2It's insane, how far our industry has come in less than a single human lifetime. I wish I could see what will become of it in a few centuries.

#3somebody explained me that the correct way to appreciate this painting is to invert it on horizontal axis.
the reason is, japanese is read from right to left.
once you invert it you can appreciate it better

#4I love pixel art and specifically monochrome pixel art like this.
It's a pity this blog was so short lived, I can only see 7 entries and only 2 Hokusai prints. Oh well, my own blogs usually don't fare much better.

#5I really like the layout and style of the site. I never had a mac growing up so its not a nostalgia thing, I just appreciate the compactness with contrast
The art is also very good. Its hard to get that level of "colour" with limited resolution

Doesn't this assume that people (in the west, at least) "perceive" paintings from left to right? That doesn't strike me as particularly true.

Yes. Several references argue for that:
- Art Institute of Chicago (https://www.artic.edu/articles/1139/10-things-to-know-about-...)
- Daily Art Magazine (https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/great-wave-hokusai/#:~:text...)

Japanese characters are actually written left to right, but sometimes the page order is right to left. Writing that you might find on a website, e-mails, and scientific writing is typically actually written left to right. While these kinds of texts may have pages that are ordered from right to left, the text on the pages is typically written from left to right. It is typically only when text is written vertically (yokogaki) that it is written in columns going from right to left, and in that case, the characters are read top to bottom.

Doesn't strike me as particularly true either.

... specifically, Japanese is traditionally written top to bottom, then right to left. (In contrast, English is written left to right, then top to bottom.)
So, armed with that knowledge, are you going to rotate it as well?
