ReplyDeleteYour poem explains the calligraphy beautifully.
ReplyDeleteR-I like that the kanji for sea is water-every. The global ocean is water everywhere - but as you say at once the same but always changing. Thanks for that insight. I also checked out the link you gave - interesting how the kanji for sea developed; and the order of the strokes. B

Etymology of 海 is so beautiful. Even though waves have rushed to the shore millions times since ancient times, never the same waves. One time one meeting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruma, have a great day!
So many truly lovely pictures of the sea, the shore and the distant horizon. I never tire of the beauty you bring us and the amazing characters the Japanese use to convey the words to use.
