Iro-wha?!

Practicing examples of 「浅き夢見じ営もせず」 from The Book (書道字典, Shodou Jiten) and かな精習 (Kana Seishuu). Just on pages of a telephone book, but I have a thought that I'll hang them along the loft wall upstairs and then maybe swap out the characters whenever I'm able to write them better. The trouble is that I'm attracted to so many styles and would like the series to be coherent, at least a little....

I'm thinking of breaking them up as

浅き (asaki)
夢 (yume)
見じ (miji, mishi)
営も (ei mo, wehi mo, yoi mo)
せず (sezu, sesu)

I've had a project of this kind in mind for years and have practiced variations with fude-pen, and ultimately I'd like to add the other parts of the Iroha throughout the house, but—especially with a text so important—I don't trust my aesthetic judgment. 頑張りましょうね。

I haven't blogged in a while—or at least hit "post" on anything I've been thinking of—but I still exist. In some form. :-D
