APR 20, Japan Visit: around Matsumoto


 

a small shrine on a steep hillside


poem inscribed on a boulder


a tiny spring drips into this grotto


another poetic offering
  

good wishes from the afterlife


central portion of Honshu, Japan's main island,
as 'covered' in our trip









 CLASSIC JAPANESE HAIKU, in translation

o, snail

climb Mount Fuji

but slowly, slowly!

Kobayashi Issa
