THE FLOATING WORLD

"The Floating World" (5-3-14 2004ev2) was recently fussed out of a very old photo. The title popped into my mind as I started entering the pic info in my notebook for future reference. Then I vaguely recalled that "the floating world" references some philosophy or art movement so Googled the term. And found that it's "a genre of woodblock prints and paintings that flourished in Japan from the 17th through 19th centuries." That sort of fits with my sense that this pic might do well with an accompanying haiku. Maybe it's due to the somewhat parchment paper color overall.
