Summer clouds
Tatsuko returns into human
here in Innai
夏の雲院内の地に辰子生る
The garden
waiting for Tatsuko
summer flowers
主待つ辰子の庭や夏の花
Yellow partinia
whose name is Ominaeshi
Tatsuko’s flower
在りし日に辰子の植えし女郎花
Homecoming
breaks for a while
summer flowers
里帰りしばし佇む夏の花
White azalea
in Tatsuko’s pond
colored carp
躑躅咲く辰子の池や錦鯉
Hydrangea
reflecting themselves
on the pond
紫陽花や池面に映る七変化
Green breeze
Tatsuko in recollection of
her maiden days
緑風に来し方思ふ辰子かな
Fish swimming
in the Innai stream
a good memory
なつかしや魚の泳ぐ院内川
Picking bracken shoots
in Mount Innaidake
another good memory
わらび採り良き思い出や院内岳
In cold winds
snow camellia bud
opening
寒風に椿の蕾開きけり
Snow camellia
blooming in Camellialand
Tatsuko’s paradise
雪椿辰子遊びし椿台
Fawn lilies
in the home mountain
along the path
かの山へ片栗の路登りけり

Thank you for sharing these beautiful haiku and photographs Mr Hidenori Hiruta and many congratulations for creating this wonderful book! Warm regards, Xenia
Such beautiful scenery! “White azalea” is a lovely haiku on its own, but the photograph makes it even more interesting – I wouldn’t have imagined azalea growing in the pond!
