Blackberries

Blackberries
they have survived the heatwave,
they seem to be stained
with the depths of the days
that have passed.

Blueberries 2025

Blueberries have grown
with their lingering scent of rain,
they bring back sweet memories
with my family
coming in waves

A pheasant appeared

A pheasant appeared
from a flowering Jerusalem artichoke bush
suddenly,
as if it was trying
to convey something.

A thrush flies

A thrush flies
from the green grass
to a tree branch
and cools off
in the shade.

At Shinobazu Pond

I walked alone,
passing through the atmosphere
of the festival,
gazing out at the lotus flowers
blooming at Shinobazu Pond.

Agapanthuses rooted

Catching rainy memories,
Agapanthuses rooted
here
the future resides
quietly

Cornus kousa

Cornus kousa,
they display their white shurikens
in shade trees,
as if offering prayers
towards the sky

Cornus kousa,
they spread out
their fresh green branches and leaves
they lined up their white shurikens
like waves
