A PROPOSITO DI PIOGGIA

Pioggia sferzante a Shono di Hiroshige Ando



Indovinate da dove vengono questi versi? (Vi aiuto, vengono da una canzone, non italiana)...

Non abbandonarmi
......
......
Io ti offrirò
delle perle di pioggia
venute da un paese
dove non piove mai

VENTO FORTE ( Fukinagashi)

Fukinagashi, vento forte, i rami allungati

Da una sola parte.

(Il maestro Nakamura ha detto ,in occasione di un seminario dedicato a questo stile,

  che una pianta è bella quando spinge colui che la guarda

a fare il gesto di tenersi il cappello sulla testa )
