I like to post contemporary Japanese artists on this feed from time to time. Tetsuya Noguchi (b.1980) is known for his images of samurai in everyday situations. They are often really funny. This is his painting, "Warrior Takes Armoured Cat for a Walk".

"Don't be anxious. Concentrate on what you have to do. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being. Then do it, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy." --Marcus Aurelius, 2nd century C.E. Photo: Matheo JBT courtesy of @unsplash.com
