Synopsis
At the age of 33, Otagaki Nobu renounced a world that had visited great tragedy upon her (the death of two husbands and two infant children) and was ordained as a nun, taking the Buddhist name Rengetsu, or Lotus Moon. The rest of her long and productive life was devoted to spiritual pursuits, service to others and a multifaceted career as a poet, calligrapher, potter and painter. This is a selection of her finest waka poetry, presented in both the original Japanese and in English. Illustrated with reproductions of Rengetsu's pottery, painting and calligraphy, Lotus Moon is an invitation to commune with the soul of a remarkable woman and her artistic legacy.
