out to the sea
bitter winter wind
has no place to return
bitter winter wind
has no place to return
This haiku by Yamaguchi Seishi inspired me to do this illustration.
Depicting a female figure draped in a kimono, the artwork captures the profound serenity and underlying sadness of the poetic text. Through delicate strokes and evocative colours, the illustration conveys an aura of nostalgia and contemplation, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the captivating and nuanced world of Japanese poetry.
