春夕焼今日の一日暮れにけり

 

haru yuyake  kyou no ichinichi  kureni keri

 

Spring sunset

everything all right

all day today

 

Notes:

The photo was taken from Shoheiji temple, the Ishiyama Peace Kannon temple.

You can see the estuary of the Omono River flowing into the Sea of Japan.

Haiku about Winter (33)

 

雪の日も観音祈る世の平和

 

yuki no hi mo  kannon inoru  yono heiwa

 

 

Snowy days too

Kannon praying for

world peace

 

 

Notes:

In Japanese, Guanyin is pronounced Kannon (観音), occasionally Kan'on, or more formally Kanzeon (観世音, the same characters as Guanshiyin); the spelling Kwannon, based on a pre-modern pronunciation, is sometimes seen. This rendition was used for an earlier spelling of the well-known camera manufacturer Canon, which was named for Guanyin.^[11]
