CD : 520 Bunson 4



Sumizumi ni nokoru samusa ya ume no hana

in nooks and corners
cold remains:
flowers of the plum

© Yosa Buson (tr. RH Blyth)

fresh fallen snow
reflects the light of the full moon -
first plum blossom blooms

© Chèvrefeuille

last winter chill hangs
icicles melting off of
the plum tree branches
