Reflections From a Murky Pond

😆 In some ways, this is so very Arcimboldo. He’s somewhat famous for his reversible paintings [rotate your screen], though more so for his grotesque parodies. And, to add to the fun, some art historians claim that Arcimboldo was a Renaissance artist while other say he was one of the early Mannerists. Hence, Arcimboldo, himself is somewhat reversible. 😛

I love and laugh at this, though I’m fully cognizant of how few people will understand why I find this funny, or why in the world I titled it “Vintage Japanese Prison Porn.”

So, let me explicate…

Why Vintage Japanese Prison Porn

• The art style is a fusion of Western Cartoon and Japanese Ukiyo-e, which also influenced Western art;
• She’s obviously a high-ranking Yakuza, probably an oyabun, given her level of tattooing;
• The origin of Yakuzas’ tattooing is from 17th-19th Centuries Japanese practice of irezumi kei (tattoo penalty), where criminals were tattooed as part of their punishment;
• She’s tied up Shibari or Kinabku style – you pendants can argue about which term is right – which was derived from Hojōjutsu, a method of restraining, torturing, and displaying prisoners in feudal Japan.

So, there you have it – why my humor and snark was engaged by this image and why I’ve titled it here as “Vintage Japanese Prison Porn.” 😉

Lil Bobby found out the hard way that not everything is art in the eyes of modern art teachers. Lil Bobby also found out that the school had a zero tolerance policy and was almost brought up on Hate Crime charges. Fortunately, Lil Bobby chose at that moment to identify as a Black Lesbian Woman, resulting in charges immediately disappearing and “her’ being put in for an award. 😉

Currently, the Biden White House is considering adding Pankakke to the White House’s artworks as part of their push to include more BIPOC LGBTQ artworks.

Women As Art

Women as art has almost always been focused upon. There’s neither point, purpose, or benefit in denying that. After all, women’s bodies are some of Heaven’s best work. Failing to internalize that and enjoy it is, more than likely, a sin – for whatever value of sin your faith has. 😉
