Birds sing and the valley cries
A vaguely blurry peach dream
Grasses get wet after the rain

鳥が囀り谷が鳴く
ぼんやりとした桃の夢
雨立ち上り草濡れる

Feels like quite long time has passed
Walking down the street while looking up the moon in the cold air
Another year has passed by

とてつもなく長い時がたった気がする
道を歩きながら寒空に浮かぶ月を見上げる
またもう一年

アートスペース研究の一環で仲町の家に遊びにいきました。朝１０時の待ち合わせまで少し時間がありましたので、ちょうど入口前にあった仲町氷川神社ですこし休憩。池の水音、朝の街音、電車の音等が聞こえます。東京下町の朝のしっとりとした雰囲気に聴き入ります。

TOKENアートセンター高村さんにお話を聞きに曳舟まで行きました。駅東口の上海楼で昼食を食べみんなと別れた後、腹ごなしも兼ねて少し街を歩くことにしました。もう一つのアートスポットの方面に向かって歩いているはずが反対方向にあるいていました。ちょうど町内で行われていたお祭りに遭遇しました。東京下町のお祭りは５月－６月にと少し早めの開催です。むかし、八丁堀にアトリエのあった大学の先生から話があり、町内の水掛け祭り神輿を担いだ若き日の街の匂いを思い出しました。

Marco from Naviar Records couldn't find any information about a haiku poet whose pen name was Senjo. He came across this poem in The Penguin Book of Haiku, but there's no mention of his/her life or other works. However, he liked it so much that he decided to share it anyway and hopes you'll find it inspiring, too.

If anyone else has more information on this mysterious haiku poet, please get in touch with Naviar Records and they'll update the description.

Winter Moon - 冬月 [naviarhaiku578]

quiescence!
touching not the blossoms,
temple bell's voice

by: Fuhaku
Kawakami Fuhaku was a tea master and the founder of the Edosenke, a school of tea ceremony. He was also an accomplished haiku poet.

Touching Not  - 時鐘 [naviarhaiku580]

A sweet side of coldest morning ...
Not everything is frozen yet
Here i come here we come

plunging my hand
into the lake...
billowing clouds

Among the four great masters of Japanese Haiku, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 Haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several Haibun.

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-melquiades-morning-breeze

"Morning Breeze" is as gentle and languid as the title suggests. Blissful piano chords and floating synthesizers drift somnolently over a steady, mid-tempo pulse: it's the sonic equivalent of a Sunday morning lie-in.
