I really appreciated the youtube link, it's so great to hear poetry read. I always have issues on where to break up Japanese sentences even in prose, so thank you for this! and I love your translation!
Yes, and it’s a very beautiful book. I think I got a copy at Kinokuniya in New York or online. I think you’re going to love it because of the photographs. They remind me of yours!
I hope you love it as much as I do! The images remind me of your photography so much with the beautiful closeup pictures of flowers. Quite a beautiful book I think! Xoxo
Aces, Leanne. And there is no "better" just "various shades" of interpretation. ;)

The flower moon appeared,
its cloister of petals open to shining
move below Mt. Fuji.
Wonderful piece, Leanne!
This is so beautiful!! Thank you, Sally!
Could you remind me (because I think we touched on this before): Is the original version of the 中西進 book 美しい日本語の風景?

I ordered it from Amazon Japan!
