Kanikakuni Gazing

Toshihana gazing at kanikakuni (the stone memorial for Yoshii Isamu) in Gion.

 

"No matter what they say,

I love Gion.

Even in my sleep

The sound of water

Flows beneath my pillow"

 

Japanese:

"Kanikakuni

Gion wa Koishi

Neru toki mo

Makura no Shita no

Mizu no Nagaruru"

 

かにかくに

祇園は

こいし

寝るときも

枕のしたの

水のながるる
