Proud and delighted that my haiku, inspired by a print from the exbition “Masters of Japanese Prints” of the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, was chosen to accompany the woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro in the section “Life in the City”.

Haiku
afternoon lightness
in a cup of tea
pauwlonia flowers
