#Haiku Happenings #3: Japanaibunka presents Ariwara no Narihira!
つれづれの
ながめにまさる
涙河
そでのみぬれて
逢ふよしもなし
tsurezure no
nagame ni masaru
namidagawa
sode nomi nurete
au yoshi mo nashi
Lost in idle brooding.
That swells with the long rains
A river of tears
That soaks only my sleeves
There is no way to meet you.
-Ariwara no Narihira
Art by Yoshitoshi, Narihira and Nijō no Tsubone at the Fuji River
