Latest newsletter: "Fireworks"

July 26, 2019

Here is a Tanka, Japanese traditional poem in "The ISEKI Takako diary"
who was a poet in 18c.

"Ofuneno tsukutano okini aguru hino Sorani nokorite tsukito kagayou"

Interpretation:
The fireworks are being set off from the big boat into the sky on Kojima
offshore. They stay in the sky for a long time and shine like the moon,
which makes them well suited to their name "Zangetsu (morning moon)".
