ほっかりと曇天ともす街灯の鶸色（ひわいろ）にして芽桜に添ふ lightly floating ... street lamps in vernal color lighting up the cloudy sky accompany buds of sakura ©2019Rika Inami稲美 里佳 --------------------- 香山望海有叹》 文/田宇 四表光华生万象，波澜只望复何如？ 云中有限空劳雁，海上无穷不足鱼。 日月为风真可远，乾坤乃气实堪虚。 新人故夜清寒句，未入桑田竟入书。 【<Looking at the Sea in Xiangshan City> Author/Tian Yu The prosperity on all sides makes people feel surging. But what if the endless waves can't be in my hands? As far as I can see, the clouds in the sky are not as high as a goose. Although the sea is endless, it is not as good as swimming fish swimming far. The sun and the moon can be seen as a gust of wind and light farther away. Heaven and earth are just like air. A young man like me wrote poems on an ancient land. I don't want it to be immortal. I just want someone to understand it.】 ©田宇 -------------------------- 街灯の灯りは薄く鶸色で溶け込む街に桜の若芽 ©Ryuuji Suwa ---------------------- night fell on the streets.. filled the world with d...

各々の 選 よ りし場に 発 た つ彼岸明け一期一会のやさしさに満ち finishing higan -- each leaves for the place where each chose … filled with tender heart of once-in -a-lifetime chance ※ Higan is the equinoctial week in spring and autumn in Japanese. In this work, it means "Vernal Equinox". ©2019Rika Inami 稲美 里佳 ----------------------- 《答友有题》 文/田宇 纵剪幽光同璧月，繁华破艳与流尘。 三尊酒对无知己，一笑萍逢是故人。 寂寞常嗟难过日，芳菲每叹错容身。 当头请趁相停处，落杏违期自看春。 【<Answer a Friend's Question> Author/Tian Yu Even if the quiet moonlight is sheared to the heart, It's just that it's too short to last long. Judging friendship by the amount of alcohol you drink, It's not as emotional as the old knowledge I met in other places. When lonely, people always want to be quiet. Where is the time flowing to our youth? Now that we meet, we don't have to cover up any more. Let's be happy in spring, a season of flowers.】 ©田宇

春彼岸 精進膳をそなへむか先祖に一つ無縁に一つ offering  shoujin-zens  during vernal equinox week -- one is  to my ancestors' spirits the other is to the deserted's  ※ "The neglected" is the spirit who has no living relatives. ©Rika Inami 稲美里佳 この歌は以前お盆の歌の初句を変えて春彼岸にしました。 It is Spring Equinox Week March 18 to 24, which is one of the most important events for Japanese Buddhists.

Chokai for the first time in a while during winter.　 However, it was while driving.  I was so fascinated with it that I backed to the place to enable me to take pictures of Mt.
