Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

Adolfo Farsari

The Man Who Shot Japan
In the 1880s, at a time when most Europeans were denied access to the Japanese interior, Italian photographer Adolfo Farsari (1841-1898) managed to capture many images of Old Japan. These were then beautifully and realistically hand painted and serve as a remarkable record of a world long since disappeared.
