wongkk.livejournal.comWe have a public holiday here today so I have time to do something with a haiku by the 18th century priest issa. Issa can be funny, ironic and poignant; his eyes (and his pen/brush) see with his soul - as you might expect from a priest.
The background photo is c. 1860 by Felix Beato and shows yoshiwara with Mount Fuji behind (scan courtesy, I believe, of the Smithsonian Institute). The image of Gackt is from joetsu coverage in 2010 and the humble snail is provided by the BBC gardening webpages!
