- Ushiro sugata no shigurete ikuka, Santoka (I wonder if my back is also being rained on by the winter rain) -
Sold Out
The wonderful woodblock print 'Ushiro sugata no shigurete ikuka, Santoka' ("I wonder if my back is also being rained on by the winter rain") is by Kan Kozaki (b. 1942) and is printed on delicate, tasteful Japanese washi paper. This print depicts the lonely back of a monk walking after rain at sunset. A large tree with almost no leaves is placed in the foreground, dwarfing the monk far away on the path and creating a sense of perspective that lends the work an even more nostalgic feel. The title is a haiku by Santoka Taneda, a revered poet of the early 20th century. This print is not only visually stunning but also carries deeper meaning. The haiku, also the title of this print, translates to English as: "I wonder if my back is also being rained on by the winter rain." To explain in a bit more detail, we cannot see our own back. Santoka was very conscious of "how others see me." In this poem, he is mocking himself as he imagines his back being seen by others.

- Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) -
$ 215.00
The lovely woodblock print 'Sakura' is by Kan Kozaki (b. 1942) and is printed on delicate and tasteful Japanese washi paper. The image depicts a woman surrounded by scattering cherry blossom petals, capturing the ephemeral beauty of the blossoms. The image part has very slight pink tint
Accompanied by a haiku by Santoka Taneda, a revered poet of the early 20th century, the print further conveys the transient nature of life and the sense of wanderlust evoked by the cherry blossoms. The haiku, "The cherry blossoms bloomed, and I am a traveler," poignantly reflects on the fleeting nature of the blossoms and life itself.
Cherry blossoms hold deep cultural significance in Japan, symbolizing love, beauty, and the impermanence of life. They have inspired poets, monks, and travelers for centuries, serving as a reminder to cherish the beauty in fleeting moments.
