MATUO BASYO'S HAIKU


I introduce Matsuo Bassho's Haiku.
Since it is winter, I chose haiku with winter season words.

"Hitotuyumo kobosanukikuno koorikana"
   一露も こぼさぬ菊の 氷かな
★Translation★
Chrysanthemum have monernig dew in late autumn.
As if chrysanthemum thinks that this ice is a gold coin and will never give it up.
"Kamewaruru yorunokoori nezamekana"
  瓶割るる 夜の氷 寝覚め哉
