Kakemono: Japanese Sketches (Classic Reprint)

The great God Buddha Sits peaceful and still, a line of dark bronze against the blue sky, and the length of the garden is flooded with light. Two tall pink cherry trees drop blushing snowflakes on to his broad shoulders, and the sound of running water is a liquid prayer. Under his heavy-lidded eyes he looks as one who saw not, or saw too well, and his Slow smile is inscrutable and still. The mystery of it draws one nearer.
