It turned a bit wet (Afloat in Hiroshige's rain storm)
Manage episode 438802977 series 2800955
Join us tonight as Erica a wends ‘snailward’ home through a heavy rain storm - recorded, aptly enough, during another heavy rain storm! Hear also about our adventures with a drowning pigeon.
Journal entry:
3rd September, Tuesday
“Cruising through a Hiroshige
Woodblock print;
Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge.
Even the reeds look like bamboo.
A heron pilots us home.”
Episode Information:
During this episode I read a short poem by Issa and read some of the lyrics from Finnegan Tui’s latest song ‘Old One.’
I also refer to Hiroshige’s woodblock print Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake, Cynthia Barnett’s (2016) Rain: Natural and cultural history, and an extract from Thomas Merton’s (2003) When the Trees say Nothing.
