Blanket (moofu 毛布)




Detail of the little Daruma



I found this on my daily walk in the neighbourhood, hanging outside to air out. The pattern is of Daruma san and temari, small balls.


Temari and Ryokan San
Ryookan 良寛, 1758-1831

.
mgrains of rice
pecked by birds...
my futon

meshi tsubu o tori ni hirowasuru futon kana

.飯粒を鳥に拾はするふとん哉

by Issa, 1814

Or: "pecked by a bird." Issa has eaten on his futon and, lucky for the bird(s), spilled some cooked rice.
