I have reprinted the set of bookmarks featuring seasonal poems from eighth century Japan, paired with apposite images, with those for Spring and Autumn given a dab of painted floral colour. The poems are from the oldest extant collection of Japanese poems, the Man'yoshu. There are a few slight differences, not least the resetting of the poem for winter, which I also made as a separate print, on 280gsm Arches BFK Rives cotton paper, in which the white background can serve as the snow.
