ryokan (1758-1831)

Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices
I, too, quietly
Turn clear and transparent.





 Ryokan's hut

legacy

   My legacy -
         What will it be?
               Flowers in spring,
                        The cuckoo in summer,
                          And the crimson maples

     Of autumn ...
