autumn wind...
I am stringing

Kyorai was a Japanese haiku poet who first trained as a martial artist before he started writing and became one of Basho’s first disciples.

This is one of Kyorai's most famous poem, and one that Natsume Sōseki used as an example of great haiku poetry when teaching at a high school in Kumamoto.

A 'bit' conceptual this one ... You're hearing 1-bit sound at the beginning of the piece ... all the way up to 16-bits by the end ... Enjoy!

Fog clears away:
the waterfall shows up
bit by bit.
 
Undoubtedly one of the most important Japanese novelists in modern history, Natsume Sōseki began his career publishing haiku and renku poems in a number of newspapers and periodicals. Early in his career he met Masaoka Shiki, who encouraged him to become a writer and tutored him in the art of composing haiku.

Between 1900 and 1903 he studied at the UCL in London, but this proved to be quite a dramatic experience for the young Soseki. Despite this, when Soseki returned to Japan, he exploded into prolific writing activity.
