Trips will likely be mired in mechanical difficulties and delays of all types. You’ll get to your destination eventually, but you’re going to have to be patient. If you’re heading to the airport, be sure to bring a book – a long one – to make the wait more bearable. If you’re just heading across town, bring along your favorite music to keep your spirits up.: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch

Article of the Day:
Portrait of Madame X

American painter John Singer Sargent, at one time the world’s most famous and highly paid portrait painter, is best known for his portraits of American and English social celebrities. In 1884, before he had achieved acclaim, a scandal erupted when he exhibited Portrait of Madame X in Paris. In it, socialite Madame Gautreau is shown wearing a low-cut gown that critics deemed erotic. Paris was offended, Gautreau refused the painting, and Sargent moved to London. Where is the painting today? More…: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch

Unpainting…a perfectly painted tableau

( ©poetic thought by GeorgeB @euzicasa)

Everyday I…I efface another color

of my perfectly painted tableau,

accomplishment of the day past…

I aim for a unicolor, a pure black or white, I can’t make up my mind…

So, every morning, seated at my easel, I use the widest paintbrush, and chose, today will be white over black, to cover the painting behind, to hide yesternight hard work, to start anew,

a new memory, painted over an older one,

no holidays,

weekends,

only Monday Mornings,

nonstop,

in perpetuity,

forever Amen!

Takeshita Shizunojo was one of the few women haiku poets to appear in

for nearly all domestic matters. With a husband and five children, home

Takeshita Shizunojo (jap. 竹下 しづの女;

* 19. März 1887 in Yukuhashi; † 3. August 1951 in Fukuoka),

eigentlich Takeshita Shizuno (竹下 静廼), war eine japanische Haiku-Dichterin der Vorkriegszeit.

Leben

Takeshita Shizunojo wurde am 19. März 1887 als erste Tochter des
Dorfschulzen Takeshita Hōkichi (竹下 宝吉) und dessen Frau Fuji (フジ) im Dorf
Hieda (heute ein Teil der Stadt Yukuhashi), Präfektur Fukuoka geboren.

Aufgrund der Stellung ihres Vaters erhielt sie eine gute Erziehung.
1903, 16-jährig, besuchte sie die pädagogische Frauenlehranstalt in
Fukuoka und wurde dort von Suematsu Bōyasu (末松房泰) in Prosa-Literatur,
japanischen Waka und chinesischer Dichtung unterwiesen.

Nach ihrem Abschluss wurde sie nach Station an der Kubo-Grundschule in
der Provinz Miyako und der Hieda-Grundschule schließlich an der
Kokura-Pädagogikschule Hilfslehrerin.

Im Jahre 1912, als sie 25 Jahre alt war, heiratete sie Mizuguchi Hanzō
(水口伴蔵), der zugleich in die Familie Takeshita aufgenommen wurde, und
zog nach Fukuoka, wo ihr Mann Hanzō an der Landwirtschaftsschule als
Lehrer beschäftigt war. Sie schenkte fünf Kindern, zwei Söhnen und drei
Töchtern, das Leben.

1919, als sie 32 Jahre alt war, begann sie, Haiku zu schreiben, und
wurde von Yoshioka Zenjidō (吉岡 禅寺洞), dem Herausgeber der Zeitschrift
Amanogawa (天の川, dt. „Milchstraße“, wörtl. „Himmelsfluss“) unterwiesen.
Später wurde sie die Schülerin von Takahama Kyoshi und als neues
Mitglied im Kreis der Haiku-Zeitschrift Hototogisu vorgeschlagen und
aufgenommen.

1933, als Shizunojo 46 Jahre alt war, verstarb Hanzō plötzlich an einer
Gehirnblutung, woraufhin sie ihre Kinder als Bibliothekarin in der
Präfekturbibliothek versorgte. Nach dem Verlust ihres Mannes widmete sie
sich mehr noch als zuvor der Haiku-Dichtung.

1937 leitete sie die von ihrem ältesten Sohn Yoshinobu (吉信) während
dessen Schulzeit ins Leben gerufene Zeitschrift Seisōken (成層圏, dt.
„Stratosphäre“). Später nahm auch Nakamura Kusatao an der Leitung der Zeitschrift teil, die Kaneko Tōta und andere große Talente auf den Weg brachte.

Im 14. August 1945, als der Zweite Weltkrieg auch für Kaiserreich Japan
mit einer Niederlage endete, starb Yoshinobu im jungen Alter von 31
Jahren an Tuberkulose. Shizunojo war zu diesem Zeitpunkt 58 Jahre alt.

Zudem verlor sie einen großen Teil der Felder, die sie von ihrem
Großvater geerbt hatte, durch Bodenreformen. Um das noch verbleibende
Land, das etwa fünf Hektar umfasste, zu bewahren, errichtete sie eine
kleine Hütte auf dem Feld und widmete sich dem Reisanbau. Den geernteten
Reis sandte sie ihren Kindern nach Fukuoka und kümmerte sich zugleich
um ihre altersschwache Mutter.

1949 begann sie, die Haiku-Gemeinschaft der Universität Kyūshū zu
leiten, eine Tätigkeit, die sie bis zuletzt fortführte. Sie starb am 3.
August 1951, 64 Jahre alt, im Universitätskrankenhaus von Kyūshū infolge
der Verschlechterung einer Nierenkrankheit, das der sie bereits lange
Jahre gelitten hatte.

Ihre letzte Ruhe fand sie bei ihrem Ehemann und ihrem ältesten Sohn. Auf
dem Grabstein sind die Worte Ryokuin ya (緑陰や, dt. „Oh, der Schatten des
Grüns“) zu lesen.
