Ashita to ashita no tame no tanka (tanka for tomorrow, and tomorrow)
A fog-covered pond
Blinking for just a moment
Blessed swan alighted
Subtle motions of heaven
The slow rising sun breaks through
watashino jinsei ni ko wo egaku
shoshite watashi wa kumo kara kiita “Oute!” toiu koe wo
ima wa watashi no bandesu…
I drew a circle around my life
from the cloud I heard a voice say “Check!”
now it’s my turn
