He sits on an old tree and if a child has done something bad, he pulls it up (in a bucket).<br />Tengu also like fire. If someone walks alone at night and sees a flame, he is surely fooled by the Tengu. <br />(painting by Mizuki Shigeru)<br />.<br />https://heianperiodjapan.blogspot.jp/2017/10/tengu-legends-07-fukui.htmlGabi Greve - Darumapediahttps://heianperiodjapan.blogspot.jp/2017/10/tengu-legends-07-fukui.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27162317.post-11557485352106443442018-02-02T20:19:04.044-08:002018-02-02T20:19:04.044-08:00釣瓶落し tsurube otoshi

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.<br /><b><br />night falls<br />the sun pulls the horizon<br />over its head </b><br /><br />Thanks for keeping this site running and as always a very interesting and informative one.<br /><br />Dr. Gerald Bravi / briccone <br /><br />.Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27162317.post-52752547044268374362016-08-09T22:04:50.725-07:002016-08-09T22:04:50.725-07:00tsurube otoshi 釣瓶落し

Is he saying that the leaves on the mountain are so bright and red, the setting sun has returned to the sky? <BR/><BR/>My earlier translation was freer: the mountain's red leaves unset the sun <BR/><BR/>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." <BR/><BR/>Based on this theory, he translates: the mountain's red leaves return the sunbeam to the sky <BR/><BR/>In his more literal French version, Jean Cholley has the mountain maples make the setting sun "remonter" ("go up again");<BR/> En village de miséreux: Choix de poèmes de Kobayashi Issa (Paris: Gallimard, 1996) 35.<BR/><BR/>Tr.
