When we visited Japan in Cherry Blossom Time, we were also in the time of Young Leaves.
(Remember to use the Yuki Teikei website at youngleaves.org)
Hiji shiroki so no karine ya yoi no haru
The white elbow
of a priest who is dozing!
Dusk in spring.
Buson
Kindachi ni kitsune baketari yoi no haru
Into a nobleman
a fox has changed himself--
early evening of spring
Buson
