“What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.”
― from TO THE LIGHTHOUSE By Virginia Woolf, 1927

Hiroshige's struggles to become a successful ukiyo-e artist is supported by his devoted wife. Using a paint called Berlin blue, he pursues his passion for painting, but success comes at a price. Ep.3
This colourful scene by Hiroshige depicts the rocky and dangerous coastline at Satta on the Tokaido Road in Japan.
Satta was well known for its spectacular views of Mount Fuji. Until 1655, when a pass was made through the mountains, the road led directly along the shore at this point, and could only be crossed at low tide. Here travellers trudge up the steep slope of the pass, seemingly oblivious of the view and the dramatic sunset.

Mr. Foody runs Mercor, which provides automatic screening of résumés and A.I. job interviews. He established the company with two high school friends from San Jose, Calif., Surya Midha and Adarsh Hiremath. Mr. Midha, 22, is Mercor’s chief operating officer and Mr. Hiremath, 22, the chief technology officer.
In February, they raised $100 million, bringing Mercor’s total funding to more than $132 million and valuing the start-up at $2 billion. Investors include the venture capital firms General Catalyst and Benchmark.
