Tsukimi – Moon Viewing

Poem

Jiku – Master Kidō

掬水月在手　

Mizu o kiku sureba/ tsuki te ni ari

I scoop up water and the moon is in my hands

 

Enlightenment Poem  – Chiyono: also known as Mugai Nyodai (1223-1298)

 

tonikaku ni/ takumishi oke no/ soko nukete/ mizu tamaraneba/ tsuki mo yadorazu

 

With this and that I tried to keep the bucket together, and then the bottom fell out. Where water does not collect, the moon does not dwell

– Translation, Merle Kodo Boyd, 2013.

菊の露 若ゆばかりに 袖触れて

花のあるじに 千代は譲らむ

 

Kikunotsuyu waka yu bakari ni sode furete/ hana no aruji ni chiyo wa yuzura/ mu

Chrysanthemum dew

I brush my sleeve to gain a little youth

But let she who owns the flowers have the thousand years they bring
