The recent Mizerable promotion here sent me scurrying to my Mizerable photobook, where I found something to match a piece of classical Japanese poetry about pillow love and the reason for a misty moon!.  So, for shinimegami21, a night scene.

HA! I was right! I WIN!

what, no Gackt crack? :/ It would be two full moons in one post! XD

But seriously, lovely poem! I really like that moon!

Yes, you win! If I had a prize, I'd give it to you.

Hmm. You wanted more? That's quite enough moon as it is, I think - there's a limit to what 400 pixels can stand!

Yes, the poem's nice. Buson is more visual and literal (less philosophical, less image-based) than some of the other well-known writers (e.g. Basho) from the little I've read. I'm still reading so my view may change, of course.

I think that's me and moons done now. Pleased that the theme amused you. It felt like quite a nice tribute to Gackt because he's used the moon imagery so much himself - it was fun to think of putting a moon in where he hadn't!

Awww, that's very appropriate for that stage in Gackt's life. Nicely done.

Thank you; I'm glad you like it.

I've enjoyed looking at the older pictures, not least because I only "discovered" (became infected with?) Gackt in late 2007, so think of all the things I've missed!
