Statue of Kobo Daishi

I am thinking this was a statue of Kobo Daishi (774-835)
that we saw on the trip to Japan, but my journal is stored elsewhere;
perhaps it could be another holy traveler with a staff.


wisteria in bloom--
voices of pilgrims
voices of birds

flitting butterfly--
after dinner, a temple
pilgrimage

riding piggy-back
a butterfly too is a pilgrim...
