tomoo inagaki (1902-1980)

miniature sôsaku hanga
(image size 119 mm x 108 mm)

the cat waits

cold streets, empty thoughts,
hurried footsteps through the night;
hunting is a waiting game.

okiie hashimoto (1899-1993)

sôsaku hanga ('creative prints')
the new wave of japanese engraving
(early xx century)

the cat alone

as the cold light awakens
the wall reflects hurried steps
and memory eludes another night

in the heart of lisbon
