Otagaki Rengetsu (1791–1875) was a Japanese poet, calligrapher, and potter, renowned for her contributions to Japanese literature and art during the late Edo and early Meiji periods. One of her notable works, "White Chrysanthemums," exemplifies her mastery in blending poetic expression with visual artistry. Rengetsu, whose name means "Lotus Moon," was a Buddhist nun, and her spiritual insights deeply influenced her creative endeavors.

"White Chrysanthemums" is a poignant example of Rengetsu's tanka poetry, a traditional Japanese form consisting of five lines with a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable pattern. Her poems often reflect themes of nature, impermanence, and the beauty of simplicity, drawing from her personal experiences and Buddhist philosophy. The white chrysanthemum, a symbol of purity and mourning in Japanese culture, serves as a powerful motif in this work, evoking a sense of ephemeral beauty and quiet reflection.

Rengetsu's poetry is characterized by its delicate and evocative language, capturing the essence of a moment with profound clarity. In "White Chrysanthemums," she employs vivid imagery and subtle emotion to convey a deep sense of reverence for the natural world and the transient nature of life. Her ability to infuse her verses with layers of meaning and emotion has earned her a lasting place in the canon of Japanese literature.

In addition to her literary achievements, Rengetsu was also a skilled potter, often inscribing her poems onto her ceramic works. This unique fusion of poetry and pottery allowed her to create tangible expressions of her artistic vision, further cementing her legacy as a multifaceted artist. "White Chrysanthemums" remains a testament to Rengetsu's enduring influence and the timeless beauty of her poetic voice.
