Tanka ...Flowers in Autumn Field 秋の野花a

思ひ草 あはく散りばめ 竜胆（リンドウ）の 青色かげる野路の秋かも

thoughtful asters

faintly here and there

blue of a gentian 

waving out of a break 

... the autumn field might be

*****

cutting out of the beauty sun

the four seasons dancing

fallen leaves

gratitude for this gift

its just a change

*****

an empty branch
casting shadow
on the pale wall
autumn asters
sway in a soft breeze

sway in a soft breeze
golden maple
loosing its leaves
one by one ----
friends leaving

Laughing waters (C)2018

stars all around
aster blooms and on the balls
nature and art

幾重に糸巻き友作ってくれし御殿毬愛でし乙女の頃

spooling and spooling

my friend made it for me

... I loved 

a goten-mari 

when I was a girl

Goten-Mari
stars of my younger days

Kimono in Air 着物の虫干し

These days I air out Kimonos in the drawers when it is sunny. The kimono in the photo is called Furisode.

最近、お天気の良い日に着物の虫干しをしています。

Tanka...Harvest Moon 仲秋の名月a

恋ふれども 叢雲に坐(ま)す 月読(つくよみ)の 今宵のおもひ 如何にあらむや

although

my wish is to see you --

Tsukuyomi

in gathering clouds tonight

what do you intend to do?

※Tsukuyomi is Moon God of Japan.
Tonight is the harvest moon.
It is cloudy.  Probably I will not be able to see the harvest moon.
月読は日本の月の神様です。今日は仲秋の名月ですが、
残念ながら曇っていて見ることができそうにありません。
