When worlds collide: as my followers may know, almost every day, I post a) a picture of a species of frog; b) a Japanese art print; and c) a daily blog post in which I translate a sentence or two from a Japanese book.

In the book, I encountered a most important word: 蛙, pronounced "kaeru" or "kawazu"; in English, "frog."

This combines a) and c). So, to include b), here's a Japanese art print of a frog.
