Unohana saseru / Adorned with deutzia flowers
Kuruma hikisute / the cart is left abandoned
Kito'

The aspect of an empty ox cart of the kind used by Heian-period nobility, decorated with deutzia flowers and abandoned somewhere, gives a refreshing impression. (Terouka). It is probably with a feeling of regret that one abandons the decorated cart here, and this interacts with the uneasiness of the moon in the short summer night (Nomura). The use of Deutzia flowers relate the poem to the mature beauty of summer season. The RENKU sequence was composed in the spring of 1778 under the name of "Lamenting Spring". On the ninth day of the third month this year, Buson and Kito', who both lived in Kyoto, departed on a short journey southward to the bustling commercial city of Osaka. After several changes of locations and some days later, on the thirteenth, they met with Tairo, who had moved to Hyogo five years before. It was on this occasion that this piece of Renku was composed, starting with Kito's HOKKU. Both Kito' and Tairo belonged to the most talented of Buson's disciples, but at this time they had become independent poets with their own groups of followers.
