   wax forsythia in snow  |
| * * * * * * * * * heavy snowfall - gray in gray the whole day   |
 snow snow snow - the cats sleep in the kitchen  Haiku Kun peeking  O-Tsu |
 long icicles - the frogs frozen in mid-air  |
 midnight - the icicles grow steadily  ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo  early morning meditation in snow and sunshine |
 icicles - the joy of catching the right moment  with my foxes  with my badger Tanuki  |
 winter evening - the snowclouds hide my mountains  empty bird branch - so cold and wet and wintery  |

Basho Memorial Day (Basho-Ki) Japan
It is cold and rainy outside today, but I fell like christmas and new year have come again with this wonderful Basho Daruma find !!
Now Lary tells me:
Indeed, the year has not yet drawn to its close if Christams and New Year's Day have come again! I am reminded of a haiku of Basho's, and a haiku in response by Buson:
toshi kurenu kasa kite waraji hakinagara
The year draws to its close:
I am still wearing
My kasa and straw sandals.
Basho, trans. Blyth
bashoo satte sono nochi imada toshi kurezu
Since Basho left the world,
Not yet has
"The year drawn to its close."
or
Basho left us,
And since then,
The year has not drawn to its close.
Buson, trans. Blyth
年暮れぬ笠着て草鞋はきながら
toshi kurenu kasa kite waraji hakinagara
