Description


DESCRIPTION
This is a print of an owl by Iwao Akiyama, a master of Munakata Shiko.
It contains haiku by Taneda Santoka.

Title: "Blue Mountain"
(Wakeittemo wakeittemo Aoi yama)

The poem is written as “Regardless of how much I try to separate, the blue mountain” in English. The translation implies the idea of constantly being within the mountains, even after advancing through them.

Personally, it could also convey the meaning of not being able to find important answers in life, no matter how much progress is made.
or...
It can be translated as “No matter how much I divide and subdivide, the blue mountain remains.”

This poem expresses the idea that no matter how much we analyze or break down the world around us, there are still aspects of it that we cannot fully understand or explain. The “blue mountain” represents this mysterious and unexplainable aspect of the world.


---Iwao Akiyama---
