Encounter (Union) of wood and ink etc;


Another Exhibition I've seen which features the "Collaboration of Wood and Ink".  Literal translation from the Japanese might be "Meeting of wood and ink".  I wasn't sure which word will be appropriate, "encounter. union. collaboration. meeting" (^^;)
The left side work means "After night comes the day"

*I thought the color of swallow I found recently matches with ink:-) *

*Scenes around the Rice Paddy 
These are the pictures I took around the rice paddy few days ago.  These Domestic Ducks help farmers with eating weeds in the rice paddy.  This "Rice-Duck Farming. 合鴨農法" can be called "Earth-Friendly".
Gray Starling and fluffy white flower I found around the paddy.
My first finding of Skylark and flowers.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments.
Wishing you a wonderful new week; I'll start visiting you from tomorrow.

  1. Your posts are always visually so beautiful dear Miyako. I like very much the Japanese way how ink meets wood. The graphics are so elegant and simple. Is that tiny white flower an ordinary clover? Looks pretty, they grow here in Finland too. Wishing you a great new week to come.

  2. What a great exhibition! I like the translation "meeting of wood and ink." They make beautiful art together :-) The wooden apples and chickens are very cute!
    Those fluffy white flowers are very familiar to me. I don't know the name but I always found them alongside the road I walked for school. Rice-duck farming sounds great way to keep weeds out. Makes both ducks and humans happy :-) Lovely photos!

    Happy June, Miyako san. Have a great new week!

  16. I love all your pictures MIyako as always. Beautiful art exhibit... I love the elegant simplicity. But my favorite thing of all in this post is knowing that the rice farmers use ducks to help with weeding. That makes me so happy! Thanks for sharing that information.
