Young leaves The sound of a waterfall Heard from far and near.

Lighting one candle
from another -
Winter night

In pale moonlight / the wisteria's scent / comes from far away.

What you want to acquire, you should dare to acquire by any means. What you want to see, even though it is with difficulty, you should see. You should not let it pass, thinking there will be another chance to see it or acquire it. It is quite unusual to have a second chance to materialize your desire.

Grasses are misty, The waters silent- A tranquil evening.

In the water bucket a melon and an eggplant nodding to each other

I came to the flowers; I slept beneath them; this was my leisure.

Calligraphy of geese
against the sky-
the moon seals it.

in my garden I pick a musk melon feeling like a thief

The spring sea rising and falling, rising and falling all day.

The sea at springtime.All day it rises and falls,yes, rises and falls.

The end of spring- the poet is brooding about editors.
