Yamanashi 3,843 Posted January 22, 2019 In honor of the new movie about the poet Kitahara Hakush ("Konomichi"), here is a tanka poem about this basho: "Make your muscles big! Good for shoving and pulling; Make your body fat! Good for pushing and staying; Hope you never hurt your knee." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
