#Haiku Happenings #2: Japanaibunka presents Sōjō Henjō!
天津風
雲の通ひ路
吹き閉ぢよ
をとめの姿
しばしとどめむ
Amatsukaze
kumo no kayoiji
huki tojiyo
otome no sugata
shibashi todomen
Oh stormy winds, bring up the clouds
And paint the heavens grey;
Lest these fair maids of form divine
Should angel wings display,
And fly far far away.
–Sōjō Henjō 遍昭
Art by Kano Tan’yu
