A friend of mine gave me some rare saké. I sensed a fantastic aroma when I opened the bottle, indeed. Then, I poured it into the glassware I got from another friend long ago, which looked marvelous.
Cleaned the glass bowl/
It is the time of cherry blossoms/

It is Valentine’s Day today. I remember something fun used to happen on this day when I was younger. But that kind of event seldom happens these days. However, the days are becoming brighter and warmer, which is just wonderful. I found on the internet a modern haiku of a combination of everyday scenes and this particular day.
We celebrate the Valentine’s Day/
With miso soup and vegetables pickled in saké lees/

If Mother would come back turning into a bird, it would be wonderful, or maybe it would not be a very fun event, though.

I remember picking bamboo leaves, making them boat-shaped, and throwing them into a nearby small river to race with neighborhood kids when growing up.
This children’s play is seldom seen these days.
Kids competed racing with their boat-shaped bamboo leaves/

幼い日、近所の友だちと家の近くで笹の葉を摘んで、笹舟にして近くの小川で流して遊んだのを覚えています。

I remembered the sublime sound of a pipe organ I heard in an old cathedral in an old overseas city last fall. Thus, here are Chinese translation of the word “pipe organ” and a modern haiku about the instrument.
Cords from an organ/
Raise the number of winter clouds/

Today marks the first day of spring. With a somewhat happy feeling, I searched the net and found this modern haiku of the spring season about water harps. A Suikinkutsu or a water harp placed under the earth that creates clear sounds for good is fantastic.
It is the beginning of the spring season/
Even the sound of Suikinkutsu/
Became colorific/

As today marks the close of winter, the tradition on this day of scattering beans to drive evil spirits away comes to my mind. Just like this modern haiku, my father survived his father.
Survived my father/
I scatter the roasted soybeans/
To drive demons away/

I had a strange but attractive dream where beautiful, clear sounds were heard at regular intervals. I only thought they were sounds made by suikinkutsu or a buried earthen jar that makes a sound when water drips into it. For, other settings of the dream are unknown.
O suikinkutsu/
I hear the secret sound of winter/
