Painting & Poem

This combination of a watercolor painting and a poem is an addendum to the documentation of 2022. The card was sent to Laura Pintus / Mail Art Sardinia in October.

The poem includes a reference to a haiku by the Japanese master Hōjō Dansui (1663-1711):

The scarecrow does not
doff his rain hat, not even
for the emperor
