images that haunt us





Hiroshi Watanabe :: Octopus, no date (although it doesn’t seem like a H. Watanabe picture it is credited as his all around the web. Nevertheless, a really lovely pic: the woman in silhouette seeming to be collecting shells, the quiet sea, the octopus hanging, drying in the foreground… it’s up to you to reckon them as good o bad omen) / Thanks to

In Japan, octopuses are caught in the summer, and stretched and dried under the sun. When it is dried and hardened, the shape is retained and it looks like a kite. People shred it and bite into it for taste and flavor. It is a Japanese version of beef jerky in the US. Octopus in Japanese is ‘tako’ and the word also means “kite”. quoted from source.
