Autumn Night

Not one traveler
walking this deserted road
on an autumn night.

Harvest Moon Flowers

Harvest moon flowers
are only an illusion;
it's a cotton field.

One-Sided Love

Morning and evening
she waits at Matsushima:
it's one-sided love.

Ruined Temple

This ruined temple:
a sad tale best told only
 by a clam digger.

Bright Summer Moon

In bright summer moon,
and with softly clapping hands,
I herald the dawn.

                     * * *

An Old Cherry Tree

An old cherry tree
shows blooms with buds and flowers,
mindful of its youth.
