http://cacrowley.blogspot.com/2014/11/more-autumnal-kikusha.html
Short Lyrical. Sometimes Funny. Teaching and reading classical Japanese literature, especially haiku. Sunday, November 9, 2014. Today I've got a very sad poem sequence, also from Kikusha.

Twenty years have passed and I have forgotten many moments. Since the spirit of travel beckoned me and I set out with just a single garment.

http://cacrowley.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-courtesan-kasen.html
Short Lyrical. Sometimes Funny. Teaching and reading classical Japanese literature, especially haiku. Saturday, October 25, 2014. Here are some hokku. By Kasen 哥川 (ca. 1716-1776). I'm sure I've read some of these wrong, but here they are anyway. Courtesans led tragic, frequently brutal lives. These verses, however, are very evocative and romantic. I tuned my koto. To the sound of spring rain. Snow does not gather on its branches. The plum tree itself blossoms. Her beautiful hair -. I too, await someone,.
