Kotaro Takamura's benchPosted by Hoshisato (Ealing, United Kingdom) on 6 July 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio. Close to Hanamaki in Iwate province, you can find the house and park of poet Kotaro Takamura. While we foreigners very much wallow in the haiku and other forms of very formalized Japanese poetry, it is important to recognize the importance of Kotaro Takamura who in the Chieko poems was one of the first Japanese to break free from fixed vocabulary, expressions and syllabic count. See here for more information. Thanks for all your comments, please keep them coming. You will do me a great favour and honour by visiting and commenting on »my black and white blog«.
