Dear followers,

Literary Revelations is thrilled to let you know that Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony and Power in Japanese Art by Hikari and Gabriela Marie Milton is now live on Amazon!

It is a superb album of painting and poetry that highlights perspectivism in art. Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony and Power in Japanese Art by Hikari and Gabriela Marie Milton brings together Japanese and Western traditions.

I want to thank, from my heart, my fabulous co-author, Japanese artist Hikari, for presenting us with 88 new paintings, unseen before. (I used 2 of them for promotion). She has worked for months on these new paintings, and I will always be grateful to her.

You are getting an exceptional album of poetry and art:

88 new paintings never seen before

Tanka for each painting written by Hikari.

My perspective on Hikari’s paintings is expressed in my haiku that accompanies every painting.

One of the most beautiful gifts for the season.

AMAZON DESCRIPTION:

Experience the enchanting collaboration between Japanese artist Hikari and American poet Gabriela Marie Milton in Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony and Power in Japanese Art. This stunning poetry and art album gracefully bridges Eastern and Western sensibilities, inviting readers on a vivid journey through tradition, perspective, and creative imagination.

Hikari’s masterful paintings immerse you in the splendor of Japanese art, each brushstroke echoing the beauty of cultural heritage and the depth of historical narrative. Her tanka, deeply rooted in Japanese traditions, transports readers to landscapes and moments of spiritual introspection.

In contrast, Gabriela Marie Milton’s evocative haiku offers a fresh, Western perspective—crafted in direct response to Hikari’s artwork. Her concise yet profound verses highlight the magnificence and subtlety captured on canvas, creating a dialogue between image and word that transcends borders. This unique approach allows readers to view the same artwork through two distinct cultural lenses, underscoring the rich possibilities of artistic perspectivism.

Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony and Power in Japanese Art is more than a collection; it is a celebration of cross-cultural dialogue, artistic harmony, and the transformative power of words and images. The album dazzles with miraculous colors and powerful, lyrical language, making it a must-have for poetry lovers, art enthusiasts, and anyone yearning for inspiration.

Let poetry and art fill your soul—discover this splendid album and embrace the fusion of East and West. You won’t regret it.

Hikariの絵画は、読者の皆様を「和の静謐」の世界を表現しています。筆の線、色の一つ一つが、文化遺産の美しさと歴史物語の奥深さを映し出しています。そして、日本の伝統に深く根ざして詠まれたHikariの短歌は、読者の皆様を精神的な内省の瞬間へと導きます。

一方、ガブリエラ・マリー・ミルトンの詠んだ心に響く俳句は、Hikariの作品に直接呼応するように創作され、新鮮な西洋の視点から書かれています。ガブリエラの、簡潔でありながら深遠さを内包した俳句は、絵画から捉えられた物語の壮大さと繊細さを際立たせるとともに、国境を越えたイメージと、言葉による対話を生み出しています。
この二つの視点という独自のアプローチにより、読者の皆様は同じ作品を、二つの異なる文化からのレンズを通して鑑賞することができ、芸術的視点主義の豊かな可能性を見出すことができます。

『俳句と短歌：和の静謐、桃綾（とうりょう）の力』は、単なる画集ではありません。
