Tanka...to Rogetsu's house 短歌 露月の家

露先生かげる玄関の大きなる電球玉の医の佇まひ

the shadow of

Dr. Rogetsu remains --

a large light bulb

at the entrance gives

the air of a medical house

青々と苔むす台の石碑なり露月したふる地の人おもふ

lush moss

on Rogetsu's stone monument

reminds me 

how his neighbors

...have loved him

※石井露月の職業は開業医でした。地域医療に尽くし、

腕が良かったので、村民によく慕われたということです。

Rogetsu was a skilled and local doctor, so he was loved by villagers.

'large light bulb'

shinin' bright through the night

a silent leader ...
