Among white plum blossoms
what remains is the night
about to break into dawn

Yosa Buson
与謝 蕪村

For winds
to blow clouds and mist
from the mountain moon

Hosokawa Fujitaka
細川 藤孝

At the full moon's rising
the silver-plumed reeds
tremble

Masaoka Shiki
正岡子規

First dream
even after awakening
the flower's heart the same

Chiyo-Ni
加賀千代

When hunted
it hides in the moon
firefly

Oshima Ryota
享保三年

Of this world
or the world beyond?
on the sea, the sunset glow

Tsuda Kiyoko
津田清

Fireflies
one by one
turn into stars

Ogiwara Seisensui
荻原 井泉水

In the water of the valley
the shadow of a nightingale
is reflected

Katsumi Jiryu
勝見二柳

The auroral dawn
is treasured
in the oyster

Goto Takatoshi
五島高資
