Update!

(15 August) The database should now be fixed, so there are no more stray funny characters... but there may still be glitches. I just discovered that all of the Peanuts puzzles had disappeared, because "artist=peanuts" was not matching "Peanuts"; so there is more to do in sorting out case-insensitive matching.

Database problem!

Apologies! A recent database upgrade has left lots of Japanese text corrupted, and also some variant characters, such as the e-acute in "Pokémon," not showing correctly. I am working to correct this but may take some days...

Monet's pond

In the mountains of central Japan is a pond, originally created as part of an irrigation scheme in about 1980, and not otherwise notable – except that a Mr Kobayashi from a nearby nursery took it upon himself to clean up the weeds with which it was infested, and locals introduced the carp. Eventually someone noticed that with the bridge in the background it vaguely resembled one of Monet's impressionist works, and this spread through social media. Now it's famous!

This puzzle does not show the bridge, and is a rather abstract derived image.

* This puzzle is printed with more ink colours for extra-vivid effect.
