naviarhaiku607 – Winter waterfall
August 20, 2025

Winter waterfall
a rock untouched
by sunrise or sunset

by: Setsuko Nozawa

Setsuko Nozawa (1920–1995) was a poet from Yokohama. Inspired by the works of Bashō and Rinka Ōno, she started writing haiku in the 1930s, joined the magazine Shakunage in 1939, and later moved to Hama in 1946. Later in life, she dedicated herself fully to poetry and ikebana, and in 1971 she founded the haiku magazine Ran, later directed by Kōzaburō Wada.

I wanted to make something simple, yet elegant and thought provoking. The suspended quiet spaces add more to the track and speaks volumes... as always "more music to come..." Cheers Sean
