Azuma dance and more
Geisha Dances in Japan

In line 1, I use the word THIS on purpse, to strengthen the idea of this special one, which I saw on TV the other night.
THIS can be used to translate a cut marker, and here it would be YA at the end of the line.
It is not just any dancer (Azuma dancer, an Azuma dancer, the Azuma dancer) ... as line 1 would read otherwise.
After the cut, the haiku continues with the same image. It is therefore in the "ichibutsu jitate" tradition of Japanese haiku.
