“Thought of thousand things

fill me with melancholy

as I gaze upon the moon,

but autumn`s dejection

comes not to me alone.”

                           By Oue senri

                           Peter macMillan

 

This melancholy lyric poem is ”百人一首“

(One Hundred Poets One Poem Each)

It`s very old collection of Japanese poem.

But now we are still familiar with it as the card game.

Reciter read these poems lyricaly as singing a song.

The players compete to get the picture cards.

I love the moon poems.

So, I do my best to get moon cards without romantic mood.

 There are 12 “月moon” cards

 

20″×14″

silk kimono cloths,

piece work, hand quilt ,embroidery
