Brilliant moon,
is it true that you too
must pass in a hurry?

is it true that you too
must pass in a hurry?
Issa
Above the veil
of mist, from time to time
there lifts a sail.
Gakoku
Nine time arisingto see the moon
whose solemn pace
marks yet only midnight.
Basho
Kisa Lagoon--
the morning sun rising
autumn dusk

Brother of W. Corwin Chase. The brothers taught themselves the art of the color woodcut in the mid 1920's using Frank Morley Fletcher's manual and produced magnificent color woodblocks for only about ten years.
