Title: Freesia in Spring

These beautiful yellow flowers Have been picked from the garden In the very morning on Sunday As the sweet fragrance has instantly  Spread across the tatami-mat room.

What a relaxed moment To put lovely freesias  Into a bowl of Hasamiware, Then observe the scene With no attached idea in silence.

今朝摘み取った フリージアの花を波佐見の器に。 春の薫りが部屋中に優しく広がった。

春本番までもう少し。

Title:Morning Glory With Mino Ware

A morning glory in white Gives off light softly In the darkened tatami-mat room With its long arm in green Reaching now to the nothingness.

Summer will surely come When morning glory flowers Appear everywhere in town And shine brilliantly Till the end of the season.

[observationsandreflections]

The traditional house is so strikingly modern because it contains perfect solutions, already centuries old, for problems which the contemporary Western architect is still wrestling with today; complete flexibility of movable exterior and interior walls, changeability, and multi-use of spaces, modular coordination of all the building parts, and prefabrication.
