wounded deer
by Issa, 1821
This image of a fawn lying next to his dying mother (wounded by a hunter's arrow), is one of Issa's most tragic.

On 1765, at his age 3, his mother dies.
It was the beginning of his tragedy and became the foundation of his haiku.

Issa was a supper haikuist, using popular phrase.
As you said, his jutaposition way is skilful.
Thank you Gillena san for your sharing.
sakuo.
