灯火を見れは風あり夜の雪
tomoshibi o mireba kaze ari yoru no yuki

in the flame of my lamp
i see just a hint of wind
on a night of snow

Tr. Steven D. Carter


in the light of the lamp
I can see the wind --
snowy night

五月雨やある夜ひそかに松の月

June rain ?
one night, secretly
moon behind pines

ものいはず客と亭主と白菊と

nobody talks -
guests and host and
a white chrysanthemum

niemand spricht -
Gäste und Hausherr und
eine weisse Chrysantheme

quote- more haiku by Ryota:

割あまる都の外は桜かな

植なから松に凌くやはつしくれ

三弦も接穂時なり梅の花

鶯やしつまりかへる奈良の町

春の日や門ゆく梵論の罔両

高欄に鳥遠うして牡丹哉

菜の花爾長閑き大和河内かな

蝉啼や世の外ならぬ峰の松

蕎麦を見て夫から戻る花野哉

是にこそ煤もはき候花のはる

片枝は咲て止しか帰り花

二三尺たつ秋見たりをみなへし

みな塵ぞ雪に対しておもふ事

捨鍬に日永き水の行へかな

朝がすみ麥引立て晴にけり

参宮の留守の七五三あり春の風

もの書ばかつらに似たり白うちハ

筆取て向へば山の笑ひけり

人音の止時夏の夜明かな

足袋やからたひはいて出る初卯哉

馬かりてかはるがはるに霞みけり

琴ひとり雪を感る空音かな

打明て見せけり冬のすみだ川

新月やことしのけふのすみだ川

五月雨やある夜ひそかに松の月
all the rains of June
and one evening secretly
through the pines the moon

ものいはず客と亭主と白菊と
they spoke no words
the visitor, the host
and the white chrysanthemum

saying nothing
guest and host
and white chrysanthemum

at the candle's light
I look and yes -- there is a wind
the snow tonight...

the autumn squall
blows the eagle
over the edge of the crag

bad-tempered I got back
then in the garden
the willow-tree

Issa wrote for him:

今からは桜一人よ窓の前
ima kara wa sakura hitori yo mado no mae

from now on
alone with cherry blossoms
outside your window


This hokku is from 4/13 (May 30) of 1806, five or six weeks after the cherry blossoms have fallen, when Issa was in a river town north of Edo.
The elegy mourns the death of the mother of Issa's friend Sugino Suikei (杉野翠兄 1754-1813), with whom he corresponded and linked renku verses. His mother seems to have been Suikei's only remaining parent, and the personal tone of the hokku suggests Issa may have met her. She has died recently, and the hokku is addressed to Suikei and tries to console him. In the future Suikei will surely miss his mother very much during the time of the cherry blossoms, since she died during or just after this time, and the blossoms will make him remember his mother all the more. Issa wants Suikei to know his thoughts will be with him not only now but whenever the cherry blossoms Suikei and his mother loved so much bloom in the future.

On the same day Issa wrote a second elegiac hokku for the soul of Suikei's mother:

imashigata kono yo ni ideshi semi no naku

just now
a cicada entered
this world crying


The hokku is mysterious. It says the soul of the cicada, one of the first of the year to appear, has just arrived in this world from the other world, and it hints that the cicada's cries retain traces of the other world. Just as Suikei's mother was leaving this world the cicada was entering it, so Issa may be suggesting to Suikei that even though his mother is dead her soul may communicate with him in this world and that he should listen very carefully even to the cries of insects.
