浮世カ心
"Fall in love, maidens—before the crimson bloom fades..."
A reminder from "Gondola no Uta," the timeless poem featured in Kurosawa’s 'Ikiru.' Transience, youth, and the beauty of the moment live in every line.

The poems she records are crystalline moments of awareness that vividly recall the past. This new translation of the Kagero Diary conveys the long, fluid sentences, the complex polyphony of voices, and the floating temporality of the original. It also pays careful attention to the poems of the text, rendering as much as possible their complex imagery and open-ended quality.
oto ni nomi
kikeba kanashi na
hototogisu
koto katarahamu to
omofu kokoro ari
Only to listen
to your sound alone is sad,
cuckoo bird,
would that I could speak with you,
this is what my heart longs for.
The Kagero Diary
Just updated the old post with this haiku
三日月にひしひしと物の静まりぬ
mikazuki ni hishihishi to mono no shizumarinu
at the crescent moon
the feeling
of silence
