In the moon light
“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
