A Haiku for Hokusai's Nakamaro Watching The Moon From A Hill/Abe no Nakamaro (Chao Heng)

Contemporary Haiga


poetic

longing for ones homeland

capitulation


(The Waka that accompanied it, translated read)
"When I look abroad
O'er the wide-streched "Plain of Heaven",
Is the moon the same
That on Mt Mikasa rose,
In the land of Kasuga?"
