Notes About The Poem

Winter Comes to Japan

Winter Comes to Japan (Kyoka)

Aki’s “Koharu
Biyori” is overwhelmed
by Fuyu Shogun’s
mofubuki, but Japan
enjoys the hatsuyuki.
               ***

Yuki: Winter
Aki: Autumn
Koharu Biyori: Little Spring Weather (Indian Summer)
Fuyu Shogun: Winter General
Mofubuki: fierce snowstorm
Hatsuyuki: first snow of the season
