Buson - Poem Card -The sea at Spring

 #Harunoumi #Buson #haiku 

This was posted to my #patreon  JVartndesign in 2019 but no one claimed it as an reward. It will still be available as  apost card or download when I decide to move it to my Red Bubble or DeviantArt or both. My rule is anything thats be up for longer than a six months or a year gets deleted since I figure no one is going to scroll down that far!

Its a haiku by Buson Note that for the repeated verb notari the tari part is a suffix !

Ume ga ka ni - 3 Haiku

Here are 3 translations of #haiku on the #ume ga ka ni theme.

#Basho

Ume ga ka ni notto hi no deru yamaji

 Plum blossom fragrance
Suddenly the sun rising
On a mountain path

You can smell the fragrance  KA before you see it.

Basho or Yaba his pupil

Ume ga ka ni mukashi ichiji aware nari

Plum blossom fragrance
Just the character mukashi
invokes nostalgia

#Mukashi means once upon a time or formerly or long ago and can be written as one KANJI

The phrase ume ga ka ni was first used in Japanese poetry by the Heian waka writers.

Finally a haiku by #Buson who was also a noted painter

Ume ga ka ni yuugure hayaki fumoto kana

Plum blossom fragrance Early Twilight on the foothills

Fumoto can be either the foothills or lower slopes of mountains.

Birds by Buson.

#buson #painting #japanese #nanga #bunjinga

I've shown you birds by masters of Chinese flower and bird painting and Japanese masters of #ShinHanga  #Rimpa and #Ukiyo-e . For a change here's a Japanese #NANGA or #Bunjinga style work by Yosa Buson also a creator of Haiku.

The monochrome coloring adds to the drama of the paired scrolls featuring two crows and what may be a hawk or an eagle on the right. Note the balance of curves and diagonals rendered by expressive broad brushstrokes.
