The lantern (Ischnura elegans) is a 30 to 34 mm tall lady that is found in almost the whole of Europe, except in Spain and the Mediterranean islands. The species is very common in the Netherlands and Belgium. The lantern feels at home in all freshwater and often comes to ponds, but it is also sometimes observed in brackish water. The larva can withstand water pollution quite well, which is a major advantage over other species. The racing season runs from May to September with peaks in late May and early August.
Het lantaarntje (Ischnura elegans) is een 30 à 34 mm grote juffer die in vrijwel heel Europaalgemeen voorkomt, behalve in Spanje en de eilanden in de Middellandse Zee. In Nederland en België komt de soort zeer algemeen voor. Het lantaarntje voelt zich in alle zoetwater thuis en komt vaak bij vijvers, maar ook in brakwater wordt hij soms waargenomen. De larve kan vrij goed tegen watervervuiling wat een groot voordeel is op andere soorten. Het vliegseizoen loopt van mei tot september met toppen eind mei en begin augustus.

Wajima lacquer style (Wajima-nuri)
The most famous lacquerware in Japan is “Wajima-nuri”. Most Japanese people know the word, “Wajima-nuri”, even those who are not familiar with lacquerware.
Wajima-nuri is lacquerware made in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Ishikawa Prefecture is famous as a production region of lacquerware. Yamanaka lacquerware is also well known in this region in addition to Wajima-nuri.
Lacquerware has been produced in Wajima, Ishikawa, since olden days. Jūzō Shrine in this city is known to have the oldest example of the Wajima-nuri style that exists today. This shrine has a door that was coated with vermillion lacquer in the year 1397.
The soil in this land is something that supports the Wajima-nuri style lacquerware. In Wajima City, there is a mountain called “Jinokoyama” where soil that is perfect for this style of lacquerware is obtained.
In the lacquerware making, the process called shitaji (undercoats) is necessary. Performing shitaji creates a hard and durable lacquerware. Lacquer is applied onto the shitaji undercoats, so one can consider shitaji as “the base of lacquer layers”.
A mixture of powder called “jinoko” and lacquer is used for the shitaji undercoats. “The soil from Jinokoyama” mentioned earlier is used for this jinoko powder. The soil from Jinokoyama in Wajima City is called “Wajima jinoko”.
Wajima jinoko is known as high-quality soil for the shitaji undercoats. Due to this type of soil, it became possible to produce durable lacquerware, which is difficult to create in other locations.
Wajima-nuri has been noted for its durability with the use of this special soil, but it is also known for its elegance.
Sometimes, decorations are added to lacquerware after being coated with lacquer. In the case of Wajima-nuri, “chinkin”, which rubs gold into the grooves, and “makie”, which draws a picture with powdered gold or silver, are well known. In addition to the fact that it is strong, the beauty of decorations is also a signature of Wajima-nuri style lacquerware.
It is said that the Wajima-nuri technique was established during the Edo Period (From 1603 to 1868). Some techniques such as chinkin and makie were consolidated during this period.- Traditional Culture of Japan
