A renowned writer of the Meiji era, Natsume Sôseki (1867-1916) had a profound impact on Japanese literature. At the end of the 19th century, well before writing his famous novels Botchan and I Am a Cat, Sôseki, through contact with the famous poet Shiki, carved out a place for himself in the unique world of haiku. He offered a refreshing and modern vision, choosing to free himself from a number of codes previously attached to this poetic form.
Sometimes marked by humor, sometimes by gravity, but always with a powerful singularity, his poetry is a true ode to the present moment. This book offers a selection of haikus by Sôseki, carefully chosen by the artist Izumi Kohama, a talented calligrapher and specialist in Shodo Art, and translated with Claire Briant. Going beyond the codes of traditional Japanese calligraphy, Shodo Art is an artistic practice that.
she too, frees herself from commonly accepted rules. Fruit of a breath of freedom, Izumi's magnificent works echo the poems of Sôseki, in a single movement that transports the reader to a dreamlike elsewhere.
