uncertain prospects

The background to this is a 1,000 year-old church near Hereford, which has a wooden statue of George and the Dragon ... You can get a flavour of the place and enjoy the visualisation of this track at https://youtu.be/ogYz27JAOuE

You can also see the church in real life at https://maps.app.goo.gl/f9DGotayt1daEMcg8 ... it's worth a visit! 😎

The coming of autumn
determined
by a red dragonfly

Kaya Shirao was born in 1738 in Fukagawa, Edo, now part of Tokyo.

He ran a school in Edo during Spring and Autumn, but in Summer and Winter, he would move to the countryside to teach thousands of aspiring poets from throughout the Shinano province (now Nagano Prefecture). He's considered one of the first established haikai writers to help spread cultural forms from national to regional urban centers.
