Vox Populi of Asahi shinbun, June 21 told that the Marilyn Monroe’s dress was sold $4.6million. It referred to the wood engraving of the dressed woman carved by Sumio Kawakami and his poem. So I read his book ‘Hanga’ (Tohoshoin.) In this book I found the picture of the hanga and the poem. It was copied from his book ‘青髯 published in 1927. It differs a little bit from the engraving in1926 in Kanuma Municipal Art Museum of Kawakami. Now I want to show the poem in his collection ‘青髯.’“われはかぜとなりたや あのひとのうしろよりふき あのひとのまへにはだかる はつなつのかぜとなりたや”
The roses bloomed.
