FathomHQ's Favorite Links: September 26, 2015 – Masterful Japanese Craftsmanship

FathomHQ s Favorite Links: September 26, 2015 – Masterful Japanese Craftsmanship

What we're clicking on and talking about this week at #FathomHQ.

I could spend all day watching this beautiful four-minute video on loop of a Japanese craftsman making a traditional wooden Kokeshi doll, and this site spotlighting master craftsmen in the Sendai region is probably my favorite find ever. – Becky, assistant editor

I love the energy of Dolce & Gabbana's "Italia Is Love" Spring/Summer 2016 fashion show from Milan Fashion Week: the kitschy and colorful collection (watch the video of the show), the Instagram selfies from the runway and backstage, the sheer flower power of it all. – Pavia, founder

One other moment of fashion week madness: Series 3, an exhibition now showing in London, is Louis Vuitton's overproduced homage to its fall collection. Impressive if ridiculous, and I wish I could see it. – Pavia

Photography lessons by Annie Leibovitz, writing classes by James Patterson? Sign me up. Masterclass is touting themselves as easy access to genius, and I think they might be onto something. – Berit, editor

Between NASA, the European Space Agency, and multiple private organizations sending data-collecting spacecrafts in orbit, there's more photos of outer space than ever before. I love The Atlantic's photo album of Pluto closeup. – Becky

Israeli artist Zemer Peled is wowing me with her intricate ceramic creations inspired by the natural world. – Berit
