A supporter of Kobayashi Issa, Kubota Shunko was the husband of the more famous Kubota Seifu. He was responsible for preserving one of his master's works: Last Days of Issa's Father (父の終焉日記, Chichi no Shūen Nikki), a poignant account of his father's final days. The text was passed down by generations of Shunko's descendants.

There Is No Down  (naviarhaiku558)

experimental musician/soundmaker from Apuliae
Born in 1978

Welcome here to everyone.

I hope what you'll hear inspires you.

For your growth or fall
Through the cathartic world of sounds 
that I try to propose. 

A test area 

A search for meaning 
Of this passage for ours.

Sound as a primordial frequency
Before any acquired significance

If what you hear resonates with your tuning fork
A like and a repost would be of great support.

May your journey be pleasant and constructive
in this sea of instants called life

The eternity of our days.
