“Poems for Watanabe Seitei” – Various Artists (eBook PDF Edition)

Description

Watanabe Seitei (渡辺 省亭, 1851 – 1918), also known as Watanabe Shōtei, was a Japanese Nihonga painter who was one of the first Japanese painters to visit Europe, attending the 1878 International Exhibition in Paris and being awarded a medal. He blended Western realism with the delicate colours and washes of the Kikuchi Yōsai school, introducing a new approach to kachōga (bird-and-flower painting).

In late 2023 we challenged poets to create work based upon the artwork of Watanabe Seitei, and the poems they produced were simply stunning.

Poems for Watanabe Seitei is a beautifully produced anthology that is both beautiful and full of beauty, featuring a selection of poetry from 21 poets, alongside some of the work that inspired it.
