The Tale of Time on Tatami - Art Print

Ode to Time on Tatami

Kamo no Chōmei
Chose this place of silence to stay,
The tale of Time on Tatami,
Here I find the peace and way.

I see the eternity of moments,
Spent alone on Tatami Mats,
Holding tightly to reflection,
Heeding nothing else but that.

Time passes on and so do I,
On the Tatami Mats, I lie,
My spirit remains in solitude,
Until I'm a speck in the night sky.

AI Kamo no Chōmei
