世の中は
何にたとへん
山彦の
こたふる聲の
空しきがごと
Our life in this world -
to what shall I compare it?
It's like an echo
resounding through the mountains
and off into the empty sky.

such exquisite taste
ReplyDeletethis is one thing one can always be sure of when it comes to the japanese :-)
Deletelove the composition of shapes, hues, patterns, light. the pot reminds me somehow of "kintsugi" - the ancient art of fixing broken pottery with gold, turning ugly brakes into beautiful fixes as i read somewhere. such a delight to my eyes and soul. thank you!
ReplyDeleteyes, i know that, and they look wonderful, those gold-repaired bowls! i will never get accustomed to the fact that such delights exist in japan at every street corner, so humbly...
DeleteDid you ever notice how close the word pottery is to the word poetry?
ReplyDeleteactually no, but it is a wonderful observation. we call it "ceramica" in sicily :-)
Deletemi se pare ca seaman cu un strajer,nu? adica stiu ca pozitionarea florilor al demonstra contrariul, insa florile sunt cele strajuite mereu,cred, iar intrebarea mea esentiala este: vaza este goala sau nu?...poate doar asa am afla rolul fiecareia in configuratie:)
ReplyDeleteas trai in mijlocul acelor pasteluri luate din vise.
si eu, da, o astfel de lume chiar exista...
Deletediese bilder sind wünderschön, ja wunderschön und sie strahlen erhabenheit aus. unwahrscheinlich wie diese menschen das wissen um die wahre schönheit entwickelt haben.. lieb grüsst dich renée, nachdenklich und lächelnd
ReplyDeleteunvorstellbar, nicht wahr, dass ein volk sowas entwickelt hat, wie du es so schoen ausdrueckst...
Deletegute erholsame nacht dir, meiner sanften wolkenprinzessin :-)
sunt de acord cu pensum. exquisite taste and amazing grace. ;-)
ReplyDeletedaaa
Delete:-)
hello dear Roxana,the lines in the first photo are beautifully symphonic.and I love this" quiet glaze' which leads me to dream about the quiet daze of the soul on the beautiful apparent brokeness of the time worn. is this where you stayed in Japan.
ReplyDeleteHUGS.
no, it is somewhere in a temple precinct, i think...
ReplyDeletethe quiet daze of the soul on the beautiful apparent brokeness of the time worn - this is so beautifully put that i want to say it loud, many many times, like a poem, a mantra...
hugs back :-)
There is a seemingly tactile quality to many of your pics, but particularly in this first one. So many textures, so invinting to feel them. Great series!
