Hanami is an important Japanese custom and is held all over Japan in spring. Hanami literally means viewing flowers, but it generally indicates cherry blossom viewing. It's said that the origin of Hanami dates back to more than one thousand years ago when aristocrats enjoyed looking at beautiful cherry blossoms and wrote poems. 

Gorgeous flowers are main attractions of the festivals, but a variety of traditional Japanese performing arts presented in many festivals. Tea ceremonies held under cherry trees is part of the festival. This is an opportunity for a lot of performing art events taking place. One such performing art is that of playing of the Koto. 

The Taisho-koto instrument was invented about 90 years ago. Koto are about 180 centimeters (71 in) length, and made from kiri wood (Paulownia tomentosa). They have 13 strings that are strung over 13 movable bridges along the width of the instrument. Players can adjust the string pitches by moving the white bridges before playing, and use three finger picks (on thumb, index finger, and middle finger) to pluck the strings, otherwise known as plectra.

Banks convey their purpose and intentions through many things apart from their work, which of course makes the Bank what it is. The name, the tagline, and the logo are a part of the Identity of a bank, and a simple graphic can convey a lot of meaning ... at times even without the accompanying words. The above image shows some logos of Banks across the world.

A "logo" ( abbreviation of 'logotype' from the Greek logos = word and typos = imprint) is a graphic identity or symbol commonly used by Institutions, organisations, commercial establishments and at times individuals to promote and aid public recognition. The design of a logo is a challenging exercise that has to fulfill the purpose of not only creating an identity for the establishment, but also being a good example of graphic design.

The accompanying image shows artist Ivan Albright at work, painting the title portrait for the 1945 film "The Picture of Dorian Gray" based on Oscar Wilde's novel of the same name. 

The novel, very controversial for its time, told the story of Dorian Gray who sells his soul in exchange for everlasting youth. The moral degradation that he brings upon himself is reflected in his portrait, while he retains his youth and beauty. 

Ivan Albright was an American magic realist painter and artist, most renowned for his portraits and character studies. His realistic, but exaggerated depictions of decay and corruption made him very well suited to undertake such a project.
