Check out the renga link in the top post & let me know in the comments if you'd like to play, or if you have any questions. If there's enough interest, I'll kick off a game. xo

昔から、百人一首のファンなんだけど、日本語で覚えていない。でも、最近競技カルタに関係しているので、やっと頑張るようにしました。最初の踏みば一番難しかったけど、先週から、10首も覚えてきました。

I’ve been a fan of the Hyakunin Isshu poetry anthology for a long time, but I never memorized the verses in Japanese. However, lately, I’ve been inspired by Karuta competitions to finally learn it. The first step is the hardest (and scariest), but already after 1 week, I’ve memorized 10 poems out of 100.

💠 A beautiful by Tachibana Hokushi. Whether his house literally burned down or is metaphorical, it is both tragic and incredibly beautiful. 💠

Ice that sealed the rock gaps
this morning starts to melt—
under the moss
water trickles
seeking its way

— Saigyō (12th century Japan, translated by Meredith McKinny in *Gazing At The Moon* [Shambhala, 2021])
