▼Translation of the poem
===============
“The great camphor tree, the dog, and I — all caught in the drizzling rain.”

--------------
Kozaki Kan is one of Japan's leading woodblock artists, currently living in Nagasaki.
Kozaki Kan's woodblock prints are the result of his unique interpretation of the haiku of prewar haiku poet Taneda Santoka, which he then fuses with his own sensibility.
In addition to Kozaki Kan, many other artists have used Taneda Santoka's haiku as motifs to create woodblock prints.
However, it is also true that many of his woodblock prints have dark images, perhaps due to the influence of Taneda Santoka's destructive lifestyle.
Perhaps this is due to Kozaki Kan's generous, cheerful, and humorous personality, but none of his woodblock prints are dark; they are somehow light-hearted and cute, and also exude a sense of nostalgia.
