Mount Asama (naviarhaiku579)

Recorded, mixed & mastered on 07 Feb 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Synths, reverb, echo.

This original version of "You Have A Candy Inside" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 579, Mount Asama.

Mount Asama
amidst its fumes and ash
fresh young leaves!

by: Yosa Buson

The event Bosun refers to is the eruption of Mount Asama in 1783, which instantly killed over 1,000 people. The toxic ash traveled 100 miles to Edo, making farmland useless and causing many more people to starve.

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.
