Wonderful wisteria block prints. I'll have to go back to the exhibit of prints at the art museum and see if there are any prints with wisteria. It seems like such a natural subject for Japanese prints. . . so graceful and flowing.
The first image of an arch bridge framed by the wisteria is most lovely. A long while ago, I embroidered a scene of Japanese ladies under the wisteria. I love creepers and wish wisteria can be planted in tropical locales.
Lovely post, Delwyn. I'm guessing that austral wisteria is blossoming about now. I love it when it blossoms here in the spring about 6 months from now.....
Hi, I am still in Montana but the workshop is over and I fly home later today. The haiku is beautiful, and your images of the stroll along the Noosa River are wonderful.. I wish I could be there.
It is lovely to see the wisteria calmly overhanging. This haiku is perfectly fitting for the peaceful atmosphere with the pale purple・・・wisteria. The drum bridges, which we call Taiko bashi in Japanese, are also very lovely. Have a good day.
That first card is a thing of beauty and peace. I could stare at it for hours. I planted some wisteria for the first time this year, and now, I can't wait till next spring!
I can never quite accustom myself to the upsidedownness of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Our wisteria vine is bare now, and we are all about the falling leaves. But in May . . .

Hi Delwyn:
ReplyDeleteI love wisteria. Does it grow in Australia? I am especially captivated by paths under a tunnelled ceiling of the cascading blooms.
Lovely images to accompany the haiku.
kawase hiroshige and buson. they created the deepest and richest renderings of people and nature. truly beautiful delwyn! steven
ReplyDeleteLovely, Delwyn. I know so little about Japanese art, yet I love these exquisite paintings.
ReplyDeleteOh I love these. I love wisteria.
ReplyDeleteBeen missing you.

ReplyDeletealways liked that vine...might have to look into getting a bit of it for the garden

ReplyDeleteHi, nice to meet you, Delwyn. I've come to know your blog by Wanda's introduction. I do love your photography, your choice of haiku and images.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it that you're in Australia, the weather seems to be like May in my place when wisteria both cultivated and wild bloom fragrantly.
Recently the scent of fragrant olive, which comes nowhere, delights me.
A poem of longing, Delwyn. Nice to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Wisteria is so pretty when in bloom. This poem would sound the same with honeysuckle inserted. Nice.

ReplyDeleteHi Delwyn. I love the wisteria theme! We have a wild, indigenous tree wisteria that flowers around about now in Botswana - quite stunning!
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to catch up on your past blogposts (have been offline for way too long!) there is just so much to read, but I'm enjoying it all :)

ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteWe have a wisteria growing on a pergola in our courtyard..it's my favorite! I wish it smelled better, though! LOL!
It is lovely to see the wisteria calmly overhanging.

The drum bridges, which we call Taiko bashi in Japanese, are also very lovely.
Have a good day.
I love haikus. Saying so much in so little words. Thank you for this one, and the pictures! Love from Germany!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing beautiful ukiyoe.
ReplyDeleteBeutiful images - thanks! :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog you have here: soft colors, lovely pictures, quiet words.
ReplyDeleteI love wisteria. We used it have it completely covering a deck.
ReplyDeleteYou have provided wonderful artwork with the haiku. Such sensory appeal.
ReplyDeleteI love the artwork you've presented here; it has a quality of purity and innocence about it.
ReplyDeleteWisteria is one of the things I miss about Louisiana. We don't have a lot of that here in New Mexico.
Nice.

ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteIt is elegant ukiyoe...
There seems to be a lot of time there.
Thank you.
