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.

« Prière pour notre terre » pour piano, bande magnétique et récitant (Ma nouvelle composition)

ここには一度きたことがある
地底に広がる大工場
溶けた鉄を砂型にそそぐ
コークスで真っ黒の男女
砂型の湯口が崩れ
燐のにおいが立ち込める
火炎がうねり
火の粉が爆ぜるキューポラ
おまえは深淵の縁に立ち
地底に呼びかける
「ヤッホー」
その影がトンネルの壁に映り
影絵のようにうつくしい

I feel like that I had once come to this place.
A big foundry in the bottom of the abyss.
Men and women dirty with cokes pours the melted iron into the sand molds.
The sprues of the sand molds collapse.
The smell of phosphorus spreads.
The cupola furnace emits fire.
Sparks leap.
She stands at the edge of the abyss and looks down at the bottom.
She calls to the factory persons working in the bottom. "yoo-hoo!".
Her shadow falls on the wall of the tunnel.
It is beautiful like a shadow picture.
