Winter Passing


         The first snow;
Sounding it out,
       The moon over the bamboos.
                                                                --Buson



February Chicago 2 shaku snowstorm

Mori-san's snowshoe tracks


       Listening intently to the storm
We hear a thousand and one
      Different sounds.
                                   --Shiki (1894)
