糊こはき帷子かぶる昼寝哉
nori kowaki katabira kaburu hirune kana
David’s English
his starched summer
robe his blanket...
siesta
by Issa, 1803
Katabira refers to a light summer garment made of hemp. The napper is either wearing the garment or using it as a cover. For my translation, I picked the latter. An alternate version: wearing his starched summer robe... siesta
