It's a superb illustration and perfectly pitched advertising: beautifully executed and richly sentimental. http://www.antipixel.com/blog/archives/2006/09/02/osaka_steamship_5.html

They're sporting about it, and not unaware of the thrill of the hunt, bless their carnivorous little souls. I hope they prosper and multiply (within balance). http://www.antipixel.com/blog/archives/2006/08/13/specially_trained_attack_medaka.html

You'd expect the water and the rock to come to some pretty interesting arrangements over the millennia. On Yakushima they most certainly have, and negotiations are vigourously ongoing. http://www.antipixel.com/blog/archives/2006/08/13/vigourously_ongoing.html
