Enami (1859-1929) before on Flickr, but Pink Tentacle just posted a bunch of them that were made into animated GIF’s - really bringing the images to life!  The following are a sampling from the collection amassed and posted on Flickr by Okinawa Soba (who has an incredible collection).

You can follow the links under each animated GIF for background information.

Over the years I have received a number of peculiar submissions about website lording…

Shiseido’s Elixir product page from 2004:

BoA is a J-Pop group from the Avex label:

Unfortunately these have all been corrected since, so it is good to archive here. Please let me know if you find any other ‘Lording’ sites.
