STEM ≥ Prussian Blue in the Art of Japan
#art #ukiyo-e #pigment #chemistry #chemie #metallurgy #metallurgie
HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY IN JAPAN -- PRUSSIAN BLUE
Prussian blue or Berlin blue is the oldest modern synthetic color. It has been in use since its discovery in Berlin in 1704. The pigment is made from ferric ferrocyanide.
CASE STUDY. The history of the use of Prussian blue in Japan is an illustrative example of a process of rapid acceptance. The effects of the use of this synthetic pigment in Japan is a case study in the history of technology.
A "NEW" COLOR. This "new" powdered pigment was imported to Japan from Holland in the 18th century. -- see JAANUS (Japanese Architecture and Art Net Users System), "Beronin-ai" ベロリン藍
This hue of blue was used by Katsushika Hokusai in 1831 in his most famous woodblock print, "Under the Wave, off Kanagawa," also known as "The Great Wave." Hokusai's popular artwork was the first to exploit the pigment, which had recently become cheaply available from China.
- see British Museum, "Making Waves"
- see Wikipedia "The Great Wave off Kanagawa"
- see Prussian Blue in a close-up detail of Hokusai’s Great Wave:
In Japan, the success of Prussian blue caused a vogue for blue colors in ukiyo-e prints of the late 1820s and 1830s.
- see Wikipedia "Aizuri-e"
- and see JAANUS, "Azuri" 藍摺
QUESTION: Does the story of the introduction and expanding use of Prussian blue provide a good example of STEM-focused evolution? Is it possible that this could become a teaching tool?
QOTO = Question Others to Teach Ourselves?
Editor's Note : This blog post is being prepared to celebrate the research work of our fellow QOTO.org user Chikara, @Chikara@Qoto.org , who has been sharing the fruits of his curiosity and study of the evolution of Technology, Arts and Science in Japan.
I had meant to suggest to him that his posts would look wonderful in a Blog format, and be preserved, made easier to find for anyone interested in following them.
Upon seeing his post of the Prussian Blue history, and the beautiful gravure of the Great Wave, I knew the moment was now.
Thank you, Chikara, for sharing with us all of your findings.

Nations to try again to confront world's 'spiraling' #plastic #pollution
Nations gather in Geneva Tues to try to complete a landmark #treaty aimed at ending the #PlasticPollution crisis that affects every #ecosystem & person on the planet.
It’s the 6th time negotiators are meeting & they hope the last. A key split is whether the treaty should require cutting plastic production, w/powerful #oil-producing nations opposed; most plastic is made from #FossilFuels.
#UnitedNations #Environment Programme Executive Director Inger Andersen said the issues are complex but the crisis is “really spiraling” & there’s a narrow pathway to a #treaty. She said many countries agree on redesigning #plastic products to be #recycled & improving #waste management, for example.
Between 19 million & 23 million tons of plastic waste leak into #AquaticEcosystems annually, that could jump 50% by 2040 without urgent action, according to the #UN.
The only way to reduce plastic pollution is to reduce the production of plastic and to place the financial burden of cleaning up plastic pollution on plastic manufacturers.
About 300 businesses that are members of the Business Coalition for a Global #PlasticsTreaty — companies such as Walmart, the Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, & L’Oréal—support reducing production along with increasing recycling & reuse. The coalition includes major food & beverage companies & retailers who want an effective, binding treaty with global rules to spare them the headaches of differing approaches in different countries.

»Sie sagen: Für viele Israelis ist das Töten inzwischen normal?«
»Etwa 30 Prozent der Bevölkerung, würde ich sagen, sind offen dafür – sie sprechen von Zerstörung, Auslöschung, ohne Umschweife. Die Mehrheit dagegen will einfach nicht genau hinsehen. Wenn sie morgen hörten, dass die Palästinenser nach Kanada „ausgewandert“ seien, würden viele nicht einmal fragen, wie das passiert ist. Das ist das Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Dehumanisierung.«

We spend a lot of time talking about AI's technical capabilities: what it can do now, what it might do tomorrow, what it will never do. But AI is only secondarily a tech phenomenon; it is primarily a *financial* phenomenon, hundreds of billions of dollars in investment capital in search of a return.

"Israel is starving Gaza. It’s genocide. It’s a crime against humanity. It’s a war crime. I have been repeating it and repeating it and repeating it" - Michael Fakhri, UN special rapporteur on the right to food
"We have never seen a civilian population made to go so hungry so quickly and so completely, that is the consensus among starvation experts … Intentionally depriving people of food is clearly a war crime. Israel has announced its intention to destroy the Palestinian people, in whole or in part, simply for being Palestinian … this is now a situation of genocide." (quote from February 2024)

Pire encore, cette politique de #Trump – qui interdit le versement de fonds d’aide aux sinistrés à tout État ou ville américaine boycottant #Israël – s’applique uniquement à Israël.
