sakuo remark
To personalize is Issa’s favorite . He overlapped himself on the butterfly parting from the crowd.
Was he sad a little at that time?

hi
you have a wonderful blog here that i frequently visit.
keep up the great work!
can i use your images on my blog? i will only source it from your blog and not upload a copy of it for myself, thus implicitly giving you credit.
i'll assume you have no objections until i hear from you, upon which i will promptly take it down.
thanks!
