tsukumogami 付喪神 Yokai of old household items

. Yosa Buson　与謝蕪村 .

古池に草履沈みてみぞれかな
furu-ike ni zoori shizumite mizore kana

In an old pond
a straw sandal half sunken --
wet snow!
Tr. Shiffert


Straw sandal
half sunk in an old pond
in the sleety snow. 　
Tr. Robert Hass


bake-zoori 化け草履　Yokai sandals

Buson was quite fond of 付喪神 Tsukumogami.
Someone had cast away the old sandal and the sleet gave the atmosphere of loneliness, even remembering Basho in the first line.

The cut marker KANA is at the end of line 3.
