Tut`s string beans

Tut`s string beans
open the floweres
Spring in my garden

I raised the beans called Tut`s beans this spring.
it came from Egypt. the seeds were discovered from Tut`s grave.
Mt friend gave me the descendant seed



the hull were purple
the taste is sweet Egyptian dream

an autumn festiual

thanks for the rich year

calls the next happiness

an Autumn festival

white foxes and maskes men danced on the float

with the festval sound, wooden flute and Japanese drum

after the festival

a cold wind blows from mountains

like a messenger of winter gods

haiku sprits

Basho said that "Chinkonnohen"is a seed of haiku

What does mean" kennkonnohen"It means variation in the universe.

For example,there are coming birds, blooming blossoms, birth anddeath of human beings, feeling and thinking comes and goes in ourminds.

All of them are " kennkonnohen"our mind moves according to changes of the universe.

It is colled "MU"in Buddhism.By Dr Oomine ( leader of Shinn Haiku assosiation)

Atsushi Azumi was leader Syuntou haiku association after MantarouKubota.( He is my Haiku master Shu Mayuzumi`s teacher)

he said that

Haiku is concerned with nature and humans

Look at a picture by Maurice Utrillo

There are no people in his picturethere are only dusty road tree,

smeared white wall, remote road and ashuttered house ,

empty church in his paintings.

I noticed something else.

there are no people outside,

but there arepeople inside the houses.

a mothere and her child talking,

wife and her husband hear a warmfireplace.

A priest must be reading Bible.

Thinking so when we look at his picture.

A good old memory will rushinto our mind,

it is seeds of haiku

Dr Omine taught that haiku is universe

Atsushi Azumi taught that the most important is human in haiku

Borth are my masters

I study HAIKU road
