Astro Boy Student
- from Astro Boy Diverse Life
- by Pop Mart
What a stunning little figure. This Astro Boy toy from Pop Mart wasn't commercially released in my country (due to licensing agreements) so I was very lucky to find a few blind boxes locally.
I love the variations in textures and paint finish, it really evokes the fabric on metal look - and the big glossy boots. And great gesture sculpting.
It's a beautifully unique toy of a classic pop culture icon.

Yamaguchi Momoe, 70s showa idol.
One thing i love about that generation is their "bookmark" format photos. As you can see all of these photos are longer than wider, and they hav some sort of text below. I like to call it the "bromide" format, like a poster basically. This could be easily printed out, laminated and then sold as bookmarks, especially in Korea. It was basocally the photocard of the 80s.
In Korea, American actresses Brooke Shields, Sophie Marceau, Phoebe Cates, Taiwanese actress Joey Wong (also known in Korea as Wang Jo-hyun), and other stars such as Isabel Azani were popular "bookmark goddesses". While on the international side, they were held to a more mature beauty standard, the Korean "bookmark goddesses" were picked based on how innocent and youthful their looks were.
The most famous ones are singer Lee Ji Yeon, actresses Lee SangAh, Ha Heera, Kim Hye Soo, Lee Mi Yeon, Choi Soo Ji, Chae Shi Ra, Choi Jin Shil and a lot more.
Maybe I'll post a few bookmarks on here later!

Autumn Persimmons
In the garden of the elderly lady who lived next door before she died, her house and big, beautiful garden was torn down and plowed under, and a new 8 floor concrete "mansion" (apartment) building replaced it. She used to put a box out front and give many away to anyone who wanted them.
Small Town Tokyo: Kakinokizaka (Persimmon Tree Hill), Himonya.

Rainy season humidity, neon lights clash with last light, before mimicking the day, laughing away suppressed mirth, of an ailing Mother Earth
