Santōka Alarm
日本語EN

when it rains there's the sound of water — how the grass thrives

fureba mizuoto ga aru kusa no shigeriyō

1937–1938 · Late Gochū-an period
Sōmokutō · Persimmon Leaves (Kaki no ha)

Notes

When it rains the sound of water is born, and the grass grows ever thicker. Alone in the hermitage, listening to the rain, he simply watches the grass's vigor. A rainy day, in its own rainy-day way — the world keeps turning properly. Even a morning you cannot go out is not so bad, if you listen closely.
