Uemura Shoen Poem Valentine Birthday CC0384 Card

Greeting card inspired by a delicately beautiful artwork by Japanese artist Uemura Shōen (1875–1949). The painting, titled Composition of a poem (1942), shows a beautiful woman, wearing kimono and a set of hairpins. She's depicted in a traditional Japanese style. Her head is turned sideways, but her gaze seems unfocused and thoughtful. You can easily imagine that she's looking for inspiration for a new poem. In her hands she's holding a pen and a piece of paper. The greeting card can be used for any purpose, but I do have some ideas. What kind of poem would you like the woman to be writing? Perhaps a haiku poem? Perhaps a love poem for Valentine's Day? Perhaps just a simple rhyming poem for an upcoming birthday? Then add your favourite poem to the inside of the card.
