OK Matt - thanks.  I didn't notice this: 'First picture to show scale" so I thought the F/K was by Natsuo - but didn't look like his work. 

Bad day - very under the weather - doesn't surprise me at all.  lol

Ahhh, Pete, the company we keep!!  I'm not under the weather and I also thought "doesn't look like Natsuo's work".

 

Matt - the book is nothing short of a real gem.  I'm truly surprised it was let out of Japan.  The elemental simplicity of the drawings belies their masterclass quality.  I found myself involuntarily gasping at the sheer delight of the compositions.  Congratulations. I'd almost give anatomical bits for that book...

Thanks BaZZa.  I will remember that if I ever need a kidney...

Still blown away buy the kozuka. Before reading and understanding its the moon i was feeling three leaves of a water lilly plant i just added to my pond. One actually can see the movement of the water! Superb!
