An anonymous donor has pledged $50,000 to match any donations to Densho of $1,000 or more. In addition, Densho co-founder, Scott Oki will send to donors a personalized note inscribed in a limited collector’s edition of the book, Nirvana, which contains 225 of Scott’s haiku, each beautifully written in calligraphy by one of the world’s leading graphic designers, Tim Girvin.
A selection of haikus from Nirvana:
Three smooth and stacked rocks
In the middle of a pond
Waves emanate. How?
Colors, even gold.
Rainbows, a fascination.
Double rainbow, wow!?
Mourning her baby
Orca whale’s baby death
