Japan Sound Portrait JAPAN SOUND PORTRAIT Created by BBC radio broadcaster and DJ, Nick Luscombe, this project tells the story of one of Japan’s most important waterways through a series of poems by 17th Century Haiku master Matsuo Bashō, set against present day recordings of activities along Tokyo’s Sumida river. There are five different poems located at different points along the Thames. To hear them simply scan the QR code. Each Haiku is read first in Japanese, followed by the English translation.
