International Haiku Poetry Day

 

Dew drops drip

Wanting to rinse away

The dust of this world.

-Matsuo Basho

International Haiku Poetry Day

 

We cannot see the moon

And yet

The waves still rise…

-Masaoka Shiki

This world of dew

Is a world of dew

And yet… and yet…

- Kobayashi Issa

National Haiku Poetry Day

 

The sincerity

Of snow, the moon, and cherry blossoms

Is the truthfulness of art.

-Uejima Onitsura
