Haiku about Autumn (27)

 
 



島見ゆる仙巌園や菊祭
 
shima miyuru   senganen ya   kiku matsuri
 
 
Sakurajima over there
here is Sengan-en --
Chrsanthemum Festival

 
 
Notes:
 
The Sengan-en was built in 1658 by the 2nd lord of the Satsuma feudal clan (19th generation of the Shimazu family).

The garden uses a traditional garden design technique called ‘borrowed scenery’,  incorporating both Sakurajima and Kinko bay. The garden is said to have been loved and frequented by Shimazu Nariakira and Atsuhime. The Sengan-en also includes a villa that was used as a rural retreat of the Shimazu family, whom to this day, owns the Sengan-en.
