Sorrow & sympathy for Japan...

Hoping for the quickest possible recovery in Japan...

Dedicated to Japanes friends...

From time to time

The clouds give rest

To the moon beholders...


Katsushika Hokusai, The Great Wave of Kanagawa, print (1826-1833)

Japanese Haiku

Matsuo Basho
(1644-1694

Moonlight slants through

The vast bamboo grove:

A cuckoo cries


Ah, summer grasses!

All that remains

Of the warriors dreams.


Along this road

Goes no one;

This autumn evening.


From time to time

The clouds give rest

To the moon beholders..


The butterfly is perfuming

It's wings in the scent
