Santōka Alarm
日本語EN

Toward Gonbei Pass.

where the streams meet here — the sound, the mountain cherries

nagare ga koko de ochiau oto no yamazakura

1939–1940 · Matsuyama, Issō-an hermitage
Sōmokutō · The Crow (Karasu)

Notes

Headed "toward Gonbei Pass." Two streams meet here and make their sound. Beside that sound, mountain cherries are in bloom. Waters coming together, and the pass's late blossoms.
