A grenade, a lethal weapon used on the battlefield, is small in size and contains explosives. Detonating by pulling the fuse can be so powerful that it can destroy enemy fortifications or cause heavy casualties. The sound of explosions, smoke and debris often strike fear into the hearts of enemies. In war, grenades are important combat partners for soldiers, carrying the hope of victory and the burden of life.
In 1938, an Associated Press reporter was taken to a village to see which grenades were produced.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Chinese people smoked a lot of cigarettes and ugly pictures. Looking at these smokers and looking at these environments, I feel that smoking a big cigarette at that time was the fifth most elegant thing after qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

See the ukiyo-e exhibition at Today Art Museum. Unlike the ethereal and transcendent artistic conception of Chinese painting, Japanese ukiyo-e is steamy, vibrant, lustful, and eerie. Full of the tension of life.
