Description

Little poem in old Japanese, written between the years 830 and 887 by emperor Koukou.
It's poem #15 from the Hyakunin-isshu: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogura_Hy…

きみがため 春の
野にいでて わかな
つむ わがころも手に
ゆきは ふりつつ

It means "While I'm picking spring herbs (haru no nanakusa en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanakusa… ) for you, the snow falls on the sleeves of my clothes."

The little red stamp is made by me and has the old kanji (甲骨文字 - kougoumoji) for '世' (se) on it.

Made in 2003.
