riches

Riches — in Sue’s mind because set up to write poems. —
Aha, but will you catch the fishes (words) or not? — says Chiyo.
This imagery of fishes standing for words, especially fishes (words) that will not be caught (found) occurs in Buddhist literature and in Chinese poetry*

Perfect challenge photo. The letters really stand out. You should enter this image in Leanne Cole’s http://leannecolephotography.com/2014/04/23/monochrome-madness-week-8/ posts. It’s perfect for that too.
thanks…I’ve enjoyed Leanne’s blog
The thought and photo harmonize beautifully. Did you set this photo up just for the challenge?
thank you…the challenge motivated me to pull out some of the stamps I had stored…the image is composed of books and stamps…I am glad you enjoyed Kago-no Chiyo-ni and Sue jo’s writing…it is one of my favorites
Excellent.

I love the ink, the wood, the grain. Beautiful take on the theme.

Very nice. Like how you used the letter blocks along with other forms of writing.
Thank you … It was fun rearranging the letter stamps with various books
I love how you set up this shot!
