Nozawa Bonchō

1640-1714 / Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture

no wind at all

kiri no ki no
kaze ni kamawanu
ochiba kana

When no wind at all
disturbs the kiri tree—
the leaves that fall!

From the paulownia
without a breath of wind-
falling leaves

See ... the heavy leaf
on the silent windless day ...
falls of its own will
