The winter sun
breaks ―
Mt. Taihei
*
The rice fields
hibernate ―
snow cover
*
Swan grooming
by the reed bank ―
on the way
*
Migratory swans
stay anywhere free
expecting guests
*
In the snow
too cold for the lute
into silence
*
The old bear
dreams of eternity
a bamboo grove
*
The old pond
reflects winter sky
carp unmoving
*
Garden viewing
snow sits on the bench
evergreens
*
A cup of tea
keeps us cozy ―
snowy garden
*
From Heaven\'s hand
do snowflakes spill
falling stars

*
From Hindu skies
does the wild goose carry
Bonten
*
The first Bonden
rushing into the shrine
Coming-of-age Feast
*
Sending out steam
dedicating Bonden
New Year\'s Festival
*
A lost man
in such a blizzard
snow fairy
*
Candles lit
where does she blow to
snow fairy
According to Edo Period(1603-1867) folk legend, the yuki onna(snow woman) is the apparition of a beautiful, but terrifyingly seductive lady who mysteriously appeares only when it snows.
After the storm passes, her victims are often found dead. She is thought to be a form of deity of the New Year who visits people at the end of the year.

The winter tide
flowing near in front ―
this river
*
The spring tide
flowing far behind ―
that river
*
The bronze man
in yearning ―
spring skies
*
The snowman
in rejoicing ―
winter skies
