The Way of the Sword
a sharp metaphor for life
adversity-forged
whetting the mind, heart and soul
better than the day before
The Way of the Sword
a sharp metaphor for life
adversity-forged
whetting the mind, heart and soul
better than the day before
The light of morning,
a dispassionate witness
reveals character
Life becomes messy
When you don’t want it to be
Uncertainty makes
the pain feel unbearable
Help comes with the horizon
Tonight there is joy
The music of the city
is alive and well
in the hearts and minds of men
cherishing partners always
This deep autumn day
brings new possibilities
on a gentle breeze
reminiscent of your touch
to keep me warm in winter
It is a still night
Our lanterns burning softly
to remember you
Painting in the blood
Hokusai’s cherry blossom
Katsushika Oi
The flash in the pan?
Sharaku flaunts tradition
blaze your own trail now
Western kosen-ga
Kiyochika who persevered
the last of his kind
Beautiful women,
Shadows of Yoshiwara
Kunisada’s light
