Through the window I see
on the plum tree
one blossom, one blossom worth

of warmth

Yamaguchi Sodo:

Through the window I see
a view of greenery
a wild cuckoo

the first bonito

Kaga no Chiyo:

Through the window I see
the autumn wind
resounds in the mountain?

temple bell

Masaoka Shiki:

how much longer
is my life?
[A brief night]


Masaoka Shiki:
Through the window I see

all I can think of
is being sick in bed
and snowbound.


Masaoka Shiki:
Through the window I see

this lone iris
white
in spring twilight
