Strong in the Rain poetry book: poem by Kenji Miyazawa, translated by Roger Pulvers, and illustrated by Lisa Erickson
sold on etsy Lisa Erickson; $10
I am an artist and have created a booklet of sumi-e style paintings to illustrate a famous poem that is being sent around Japan after the tsunami/ earthquake 3.11. A friend who taught and lived in Japan sent me “Strong in the Rain’ in March stating that this poem was circulating Japan as a positive reminder of Japan’s inherent strength. I decided to illustrate the poem turning it into a small booklet to sell and try to send some money to Japan to help.
This book has 14 pages with 28 original sumi-e style illustrations. The craft card cover is letterpress and measures 11” x 4.25”. The inner pages have a deckle edge and are printed on beautiful hand pulled paper with a deckle edge. Each book is numbered and signed with my hanko and signature and is sent in a sturdy cardboard mailer.
Profits from the book will be sent to Ashinaga an organization that helps children who have lost one or both parents from a natural disaster. Ashinaga has built Rainbow houses which provide a place where children can receive grief counseling through play. Ashinaga broke ground on a new Rainbow house in Tohoku the region of the tsunami in April 2011.
