updating journal entries is a rare occasion, either in here or in my art account. i apologize, but i think each time i write something new, it should be something worth sharing.

something famous by our well-loved haiku master Bashou:

風流の初やおくの田植うた
_{fuuryuu no hajime ya oku no taue uta}
the origin of stylish elegance-
songs in the paddy field.

another one from 奥の細道oku no hosomichi.

the essence of good taste and culture lies not in elaborate poshness or padded extravagance.
it comes from simple pleasure and everyday experiences close to heart that gives us a true sense of satisfaction and happiness... from deep within.

i am going on a trip to 岐阜Gifu, Japan this month from 12th to 27th. it is the prefecture in central Honshu which is blessed by the richness of Japan Alps and the remnants of Japan's historical artefacts.
hopefully i will come across some of the fields, mountains and rivers that inspired Bashou to write his tour diary.
i may find something there too: the words of my yet-to-be-written haiku strewn about in those places.

please keep in touch!
