about

...There's this precious blog by Ad Blankestijn that features so very beautiful translations and rich commentary of the Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each)!

Here's the link to blog post dedicated to Poem 11, "Wata no hara" (わたの原) by Ono no Takamura (小野篁, 802--853):
adblankestijn.blogspot.com/2016/03/hyakunin-isshu-one-hundred-poets-one_12.html

And here is Ad Blankestijn's translation:

"That I have rowed out
over the broad sea plain,
towards the innumerable isles,
please tell that to my beloved,
you fishing boats of the sea-folk."

This is my humble musical rendering of that immortal poem, part of my "living album" dedicated to the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.

"Eidon put ook uit mathrock, minimal music, jazz, etnische muziek... Hij zou perfect passen als support van Gogo Penguin, Battles of Dijf Sanders en kan op termijn misschien wel een plaats veroveren op zowel Rock Werchter als Gent Jazz of Couleur Café. Benieuwd hoe hij dit live brengt"
