mushroom's umbrella

1795

Issa
五月雨や借傘五千五百ばん

samidare ya kashigasa go sen go hyaku ban

David’s English
Fifth Month rain--
the five thousand five hundredth
rented umbrella

sakuo Renku
茸の傘が家に溢れる
kinoko no kasa ga ie ni afureru

mushroom’s umbrella
full in the house

sakuo Comment
Issa showed his special ability to figure play.
Fifth momnth
five thousand and
five hundredth

Those large numbers and repeating give us gloomy mood of long rain.
