Description
Line of a poem from Taneda Santoka, was born in Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1882.
生まれた家はあとかたもないほうたるほうたる
雨ふるふるさとははだしで歩く
かすんで重なって山がふるさと
ひとりの火の燃えさかりゆくを
うれしいこともかなしいことも草しげる
The house where I was born has no trace left
I walk in the rain in my bare feet in my hometown
The mountains are my hometown, hazy and overlapping
A lone fire burns brightly
the grass is shaking with both happiness and sadness
