haiku #485: The rain is over: / South Mountain puffs out / Spring clouds.

unterdessen in nicht ganz ruhigen Gefilden

Goodbye Mister Ryūichi

I'm so sad for this great lost. Ryūichi Sakamoto was one of my favourite artists ever. One big source of inspiration when I use piano into my tracks. This is my little personale tribute.
Have a good trip, Mister Sakamoto!

Spring Mountain (naviarhaiku485)

The rain is over:
South Mountain puffs out
Spring clouds.

(Tr. Sōiku Shigematsu)

One of the most influencial modern Japanese writers, Natsume Soseki’s literary career started in 1903, with a series of haiku and renga published on various literary magazines. Between 1900 and 1903 he studied at the UCL in London, but this proved to be quite a dramatic experience for the young Soseki:

“The two years I spent in London were the most unpleasant years in my life. Among English gentlemen I lived in misery, like a poor dog that had strayed among a pack of wolves.“

Despite this, when Soseki returned to Japan he exploded into prolific writing activity.
