Yosa Buson and the Sunset

At sunset
The sound of pheasant shootingl
Near the spring mountainside.



Having reddened the plum blossoms,
The sunset attacks
Oaks and pines.

mountain's red leaves
the setting sun returns
to the sky

yama momiji irihi o sora e kaesu kana

山紅葉入日を空へ返す哉

by Issa, 1792

Literally, Issa says that the autumn foliage "returns the setting sun to the sky" (irihi wo sora e kaesu). Is he saying that the leaves on the mountain are so bright and red, the setting sun has returned to the sky?

My earlier translation was freer: the mountain's red leaves unset the sun

Shinji Ogawa has also mulled over this haiku. He suggests that perhaps "the red leaves reflect the rays of the evening sun to the sky; that is why the sky glows so red."

Based on this theory, he translates: the mountain's red leaves return the sunbeam to the sky

In his more literal French version, Jean Cholley has the mountain maples make the setting sun "remonter" ("go up again");

tsurube otoshi 釣瓶落し
a legend from Fukui 福井県
tsurube otoshi 釣瓶落し "throwing a well-bucket"
Once there was a large Zelkova tree and when someone passed it by night, a well-bucket fell down from the tree top and hurt the person. So to our day it is called the "Well-Bucket Throwing Tree" and people do not dare to pass here at night.

Hi Gabi...
We haven't talked for quite some time. I am still writing, in many format, but haiku is still one of my favorites and I often use non-seasonal topics. This is one I wrote this summer about our Canadian prairie sunsets.

night falls
the sun pulls the horizon
over its head


Thanks for keeping this site running and as always a very interesting and informative one.

Tengu legend from Fukui
Sometimes there is the sound of something coming from above, that is the Tengu. He sits on an old tree and if a child has done something bad, he pulls it up (in a bucket).
Tengu also like fire. If someone walks alone at night and sees a flame, he is surely fooled by the Tengu.
(painting by Mizuki Shigeru)
