- Abstract:
- English translation of a famous but unorthodox haiku by Masaoka Shiki in the late 19th Century, with photos and references for further research on the pilgrimage island of Shikoku.
- Notes:
- The author has done much translation between Japanese and English since 1979 in graduate school. In 1983-84 he worked and researched in Matsuyama, publishing many haiku in Japanese and English around that time. This translation may be controversial in diverging from the literal meaning of 150,000 koku of rice to convey the spirit of the haiku poetically. Let the bilingual beholder be the judge.
