On April 23, 2022, five Towpath poets met at the Freer Gallery of Art to appreciate the special exhibition on Mind Over Matter: Zen in Medieval Japan and to write poems. The photo below is taken with the backdrop of a painting, by the Japanese artist Kaihō Yūshō (1533-1615), on the Four Accomplishments: music, painting, calligraphy, and go. A group haiku sequence is forthcoming.
