I am tired

David's English
evening sky--
the buzzing of mosquitoes
pretty

-Issa, 1811
49 years old, he lost his last teeth. Next year he will return to
Kasihabara. He has gotten the upper class in the haikuist ranking of
Japan.

一茶
夕空や蚊が鳴出してうつくしき
yûzora ya ka ga nakidashite utsukushiki

sakuo remark
At this time Issa is in desperate condition.
He was loosing to be young. He lost his haiku friends.
He could not get his father's asset.
