Samurai whose eyes are aiming at the cherry blossom

 Hello! 🌸

   So, this rare opportunity, which is an image of a man on my blog, has come. For this particular portrayal I chose a samurai. I accepted this challenge with a pleasure (lately One Piece increased my interest in japanese culture much more). I went through a huge brainstorm... Firstly I took pastels and made an undermentioned sketch.

To my own surprise this sketch was looking like a response to Sutekina tsuitachi o. There was a young lady sitting under the cherry blossom with an o-choko (a cylindrical cup which is used for drinking sake) in her hand.

Hanami but it is a collage poem

 Hello! 🌸

   I was wondering for a while where should I present my work - there or on my blue blog with poems (subjects of my blog are interchanging regardless). My hesitation came from usage of polish language in poem's arrangement. Few days ago I was doing some clearing-up in my drawer. I found the old papers, photocopies and flyers. 

   Between them I noticed a printout of my short essay concerning hanami - japanese custom which consists in watching flowers of cherry trees. With the beginning of the Spring, people listen carefully weather forecasts and their full pariculars in the matter of sakura zensen (cherry blossom front which is crossing through islands from South to North). Thanks to those informations people can appropriately prepare for hanami. 

They celebrate a subtle, ephemeral beauty of cherry blossom in the parks, in the palatine gardens or at the cemeteries. The last of the mentioned places actually correspond strongly with a symbolism of gentle flowers, associated with the passing.

   I've decided to cut some words from this essay and arrange a poem.

   Why not?

the Poetic Graphics: Once upon a time there was an idea

 Hello!

In today's post comes another part of cycle the Poetic Graphics. Below you will find an english version of poem concerning an idea which... Disappeared very quickly... 

Annoyingly enough. 😒

THERE you will find original poem.

the Poetic Graphics: Once upon a time there was an idea, graphic.

As for a background I wanted to use a blue colour and create an effect of gradual fading.

fading, graphic.

That's all.

Have a Nice Day!

I wish You a Happy Easter!
