Undersea creature (ningyo or mermaid)

Author: Kawahara Keiga (Japanese, ca. 1786-1860)
Date: ca. 1828
Medium: Ink and color on Dutch paper
Location: Freer and Sackler Galleries, The Smithsonian’s Museums of Asian Art

Ningyo (人魚, “human fish,” often translated as “mermaid”) is a fish-like creature from Japanese folklore. Anciently, it was described as having a monkey’s mouth with small teeth like a fish’s, shining golden scales, and a quiet voice like a skylark or a flute. Its flesh is pleasant-tasting, and anyone who eats it will attain remarkable longevity. However, catching a ningyo was believed to bring storms and misfortune, so fishermen who caught these creatures were said to throw them back into the sea. A ningyo washed onto a beach was considered an omen of war or calamity.

Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
