| Kawase Hasui - Night at the Pond Edge [Shinobazu Pond] (1932) |
I wrote this haiku during my
first trip to Japan in October 2003. The accompanying shin-hanga prints by Kawase Hasui and
Tsuchiya Koitsu, both from the 1930s, capture the scene almost exactly as I remember it, only the
trees weren’t yet quite so bare of their leaves.
