Here's a dragonfly...

Borrowing an opening line from Bashō, here's my haiku (written in Japanese then translated into English).


Tonbō ya
Kyō, kyōyū shimasu
Akitsushima

Here's a dragonfly

Today, we share his namesake

Dragonfly Island


September 2024 - walking in Bashō's footsteps accompanied by dragonflies along the way.


'Akitsushima' (Dragonfly Island) comes from an archaic name for Japan used in the ancient Kojiki chronicle (also known as Furukotofumi), a book of myths and legends.
