Departing Spring

$400.00

Departing Spring is named for a Bashō haiku as captured in his book, The Narrow Road to the Deep North:

departing spring
birds cry, in fishes eyes
are tears

On the 16th of May 1689, the haiku poet Matsuo Bashō set off on a 150-day walking journey from Edo (Tokyo) to the northern Provinces of Honshū, Japan. In 2021, I recreated part of Bahsō's walking journey for ten days.Departing Spring is one of ten paintings in The Narrow Road to the Deep North Spring 2024 Series.
