Katabori Netsuke with two skeleton figures boxwood circa 1701-1900 Japan #katabori #3D #netsuke #skeletonfigures #carved #handmade #boxwood #Japan #japanesecraft #mujō #anitya #impermanence #buddhism #buddhistart #mementomori #art #craft #antique #nothingispermanent #philosophy #death #culture

Katabori Netsuke with Two Skeleton Figures. Culture:
Japan, 1701-1900 (Edo- Meiji Period). Material: Wood (boxwood).
Collection: Science Museum Group
Collection, London.
The skeleton motif wasn't a random theme in netsuke art.
These figures symbolized mujõ (*##
7), one of the fundamental concepts of Buddhist philosophy, meaning the impermanence of all things. As one of the Three Marks of Existence in Buddhism, mujo comes from the Sanskrit word anitya and means that nothing is permanent. You can think of it as the Japanese counterpart to the Western concept of memento mori.

This extraordinary baby (christening) dress is knit by Sarah Ann Cunliffe in Saffron Walden, Cambridgeshire in 1851. It resides at the V&A museum. This extraordinary baby's gown won third prize in the hand knitting section of the Great Exhibition. 🧶 #knitting #knit #knitsky #VandA #antique #museum

Found some cats from 1967! The postcard called the cats Sisters. @catsofyore.bsky.social #cats #antique

two orange kittens sitting on a chair covered by a granny square blanket

The back of the postcard with the post stamp reading Jun 21 PM 1967. Dear Miss Hoopes, Saw this cute couple and each time we see a kitten we think of Toby and the good times we had while in the trailer with you. We are just relaxing and having fun. See you soon. Love Anne & Pete Beth Pete Jr.

This little painting (and the frame) was found years ago at my local thrift store. It was $3.99. I still love it. Treasures can still be found, I find them all the time. #thrift #thrifting #thriftstore #bargain #bargainhunting #treasure #treasurehunting #antique #art #painting #vintage #found

Can you imagine doing all that embroidery by hand? THIS is why I collect white embroidery work. It's stunning. I use it.......sparingly. But I care for it for the next generation as well. #antique #antiquelinen #linen #embroideredlinen #embroidered #embroidery #whiteembroidery #sew #stitch #sewing
