Seasonal haiku

Shimogamo –
First signs of
the new year

Displayed inside the entrance gate is an ema board for the coming year of the snake

 

Winter sunshine
Clear crisp air –
a new year beckons

The River Kamo in Kyoto

 

Slipping, squeezing
Through narrow openings –
Winter solstice

Sacred space at Iwafune Jinja

 

Winding stream
of yellows, reds, and browns –
forgotten memories

The woods at Shimogamo Shrine
