nunoko

Issa 一茶 1821

卯の花に布子の膝の光哉
u no hana ni nunoko no hiza no hikari kana

David’s English

the deutzia blossoms
light up
my lap

Not translated: the subject of the haiku is wearing padded cotton clothing (nunoko).

sakuo renku & renga


初夏に綿入れ病疑う
syoka ni wataire yamai utagau

in early summer
wearing cotton cloth
Are you sick?
