Description

Behold the tranquil world of "Sumi-e Frog & Basho's Haiku: Sound of Water." This wabisabi design combines sumi-e art and Basho's iconic haiku to capture a moment of pure serenity.

古池や、蛙飛びこむ、水の音

furuike ya, kawazu tobikomu, mizu no oto.
Old pond / A frog jumps in / Splash! / Silence again.

This may be Basho's most well-known poem. The poet wanted to emphasize the stillness of the air before and after the frog's splash. Hence the “silence again."

  • 古池(ふるいけ) old pond [This sets the tranquil, timeless scene]
  • や a particle indicating exclamation or emphasis [commonly used in poetry and classical texts]
  • 蛙(かわず) frog [かわず is an archaic reading for “frog”. In modern Japanese, “frog” is かえる]
  • 飛(と)びこむ to jump in; to leap into [This is the act that disrupts the tranquility; it is made of 飛ぶ (to fly; to jump) and こむ (into; to go into)]
  • 水(みず) water [part of the setting]
  • の modifying particle [links the water to its sound; it isn’t just any “sound” but the “sound of water”]
  • 音(おと) sound [The sound created by the frog's action]
