I really like this choice of poem, Sakuo san. Perhaps I am in that sort of melancholy mood?
It says so much about loneliness and longing, and one might imagine the poet's life for oneself.
I think you have done well in capturing the mood in Masajo's facial expression-its in the eyebrows, I think, and the turn of her head.
Ahh! ...but who am I to judge?
Thank you for this rendering.

Bandit san,
thank you for your great words that encouraged me very much.
Your sincere observation makes me pleased.
Eyebrows and head turn are precious.
