quote
The rose hip and rose haw, is the pomaceous fruit of the rose plant, Dog Rose, that typically is red-to-orange, but ranges from dark purple to black in some species. Rose hips begin to form in spring, and ripen in late summer through autumn.

Rose hips are used for herbal tea, jam, jelly, syrup, beverages, pies, bread, wine, and marmalade.
A few rose species are sometimes grown for the ornamental value of their hips, such as Rosa moyesii, which has prominent large red bottle-shaped fruits.

Rosa canina (lit. Dog Rose)
is a variable scrambling rose species native to Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia.
The plant is high in certain antioxidants. The fruit is noted for its high vitamin C level and is used to make syrup, tea and marmalade.
During World War II in the United States Rosa canina was planted in victory gardens, and can still be found growing throughout the United States, including roadsides, and in wet, sandy areas up and down coastlines.

Other old folk names include rose briar (also spelt brier),
briar rose, dogberry, weet briar, wild briar, witches' briar, and briar hip.

In Russian, its name is шиповник (translit: 'shipovnik'), which translates as "thorn bearer."

Before the advent of air conditioning, people had to endure the hot summer.
Now many homes have at least one aircon and buildings and department stores are fully cooled.
When you enter a cooled room after spending some time outside, this is indeed a feeling of relief.

The Japanese units for air conditioning have developed quite a bit during many years.
The units do not only cool but have to cope with the great humidity of the Japanese summer.

Some offices are cooled down so much that the office ladies wear sweaters and blankets on the knees to keep from "air conditioning illness" 冷房病.


To save energy, many offices keep the temperature at 27 or 28 degrees centigrade since 2005.

Natural air conditioning in former times was simple:
a room in the shade where the wind could blow through, so the homes were constructed with many windows and blinds before them.

Thick tiles or roofing to keep the direct sunshine out.

Air conditioning
is the dehumidification of indoor air for thermal comfort. In a broader sense, the term can refer to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation, or disinfection that modifies the condition of air. An air conditioner (often referred to as AC or air con) is an appliance, system, or machine designed to stabilise the air temperature and humidity within an area (used for cooling as well as heating depending on the air properties at a given time), typically using a refrigeration cycle but sometimes using evaporation, commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and motor vehicles.

Futon bedding

***** Location: Japan
***** Season: Various, see below
***** Category: Humanity

*****************************
Explanation

Futon is a typical Japanese way of bedding for the night.

Nowadays, the stuffed mattress (shikibuton) and the blanket (kakebuton) are together called a "futon".



The futon set can easily be stored away in a special oshiire alcove and the room used as a living room.


The people during the Edo period, especially the poor, did not use bed covers as we have them nowadays. They only had a stuffed matress shikubuton 敷き布団 or some kind of woven mats to lie down on. Sometimes the bare planks of wooden floor would have to do, maybe covered with some straw.

And they wore warm night clothes (yogi) to keep the cold out.
Poor people, especially in the colder northern regions, slept near the fire and used anything to keep them warm, even dried seaweed was put into quilts (documented from Akita in 1789, for example). Hemp and straw and hulls were also used for quilts.
Poor people even slept in straw bags, one couple in one bag.
A poor family used to sleep close toghether to use the body heat for warmth.


. . mugura 葎 (むぐら) cleavers 　 　　
Since kana mugura カナムグラ（鉄葎） Humulus japonicus is of the hemp family, it might well have been used for stuffing a quilt of the poor.

. Bedtime quilt (yogi) as KIGO 　



The shikibuton in the towns ranged from lavish ones to poor ones, called like a thin rice cracker
senbei futon 煎餅布団 "rice cracker matress"
and had only little cotton stuffing.
In Edo, futon usually ment the matress, whereas in Osaka (Kamigata)they began to use kakebuton quilted blanket covers a lot earlier.

There is a famous haiku of a disciple of Basho
Hattori Ransetsu 服部嵐雪:


ふとん着てねたる姿や東山
futon kite netaru sugata ya Higashiyama

looking like a person
covered by a quilt -
Higashiyama

被き伏す蒲団や寒き夜やすごき
kazuki fusu futon ya samuki yo ya sugoki

to lie down
with the futon pulled up - the cold
of this night - dreadful
Tr. Gabi Greve

Written in winter of 1688, 元禄元年冬
The wife of his disciple Rika 李下, who was also one of his haiku students, had died in the autumn of this year. This hokku is in her memory.
How lonely poor Rika must feel now on this cold night without his beloved wife.

This hokku has the cut marker YA in the middle of line 2,
and another YA in the middle of line 3.
Here the cut markers carry the feeling of "stress and continue".
It helps to emphasize the last word he uses:
sugoki, sugoi 凄い,　which is a rather strong emotion.


Rika 李下 is famous for helping Basho plant the bananas (bashoo) at the Fukagawa hermitage.


Lying down,
the futon pulled up:
cold, desolate night

covered I lie
the qulit: so cold

Perhaps here YA can be read as the abrupt form of the plain copula rather than the end-stopping exclamatory.

Michael Dickman's Poetry Month Pick, April 2, 2010


"Having Reddened the Plum Blossoms"
by Yosa Buson (1716-1783)
translated by Robert Hass

Charles Simic says that the short poem "is a match flaring up in the dark universe".

One poem that comes to my mind as a match, or even a book of matches, flaring up in the dark universe is a three-line poem by Yosa Buson:

Having reddened the plum blossoms
the sunset attacks
oaks and pines.

I think this is a small and meditative poem about summer that is also somehow a large and raucous poem about bloody desire. It is, to be sure, a poem that asks us to take in and make sense of a great deal in a very short amount of time. The poem moves slowly. But our minds have to race.
We need to make sense of, among other things, plum blossoms turning a color they don't usually take on— by what we're not sure until the second line. We find out it is due to a sunset, but a sunset that attacks, that has martial qualities, and which turns to redden the oaks and pines next.
In its way it is a very fast and violent poem, leaving the reader to wonder if there will be any end to the "reddening." The poem keeps opening out after its final period along with the sunset. Almost cinematic in its jump cuts, the images move in wide circles inside of the world. They start in the miniscule; a blossom, then move out to the grand sweeping sunset and then back to something that lives in-between the two: trees. Buson does this in three lines. Eleven words.

About the effect of images there is the famous comment made by a student of Tu Fu's: "It's like being alive twice", he said. Part of what I think the student means is that thinking in images renders us alive and present to the actual world. And reading poems like this one will leave us gasping for breath, amazed, and lit up like a match.

About Michael Dickman:

Michael Dickman is the author of The End of the West (Copper Canyon Press, 2009). He was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The American Poetry Review, Field, Tin House, and Narrative Magazine, among others.

* * * * * *

This is not a frequently-translated poem of Buson's. Doing a quick search of various books of translation, I found it in only two places: Hass's Essential Haiku, and Blyth.

Here is Blyth's translation:

紅梅や入日の襲う松かしは
koobai ya irihi no osou matsu kashiwa

Red plum-blossoms:
The setting sun assails
Pines and oak trees.

Here is Blyth's comment:
The level rays of the sun strike on the oaks and pines above the plum-tree, and flood them with a strength and depth of colour that surpasses that of the obscurely red blossoms. There is here no attempt on the part of the poet to unite himself with nature, to live his own life into nature. Buson makes himself a 'tabula rasa' upon which to portray the scene which somehow or other disturbs him.
It is true that we can find subjective elements here, as everywhere, the contrast of the masculine pines and oaks with the feminine plum-tree, the use of the word "assail" which which really expresses the poet's own feeling of being overwhelmed by the rich colour of the rays of the setting sun.

* * * * * *

It appears that Hass mistakenly believes that the plum blossoms are white, and are being reddened by the setting sun, along with the pine and oak.

Larry Bole
Translating Haiku Forum




sunset and red plum blossoms

..........................................................................


Here is another comment based on the translation by HASS,

haiku have no verbs at all,
and so the tense is left ambiguous:

Having reddened the plum blossoms,
the sunset attacks
oaks and pines.

Here, I see a commonly used format of: "after this, this"
Still the speaking of haiku moment is occuring in the present, but directly after something else has happened.
Showing the passage of time, but still in a designated moment in present time.

My Comments copyright 4/6/1999 by Wendy C. Bialek - Shiki Workshop

* * *

Again we are remainded of the weight a translation has for a reader who does not understand the original and is left to speculate on an English version, that might lead him/her to conclusions that are NOT implied in the Japanese at all.

The humidity and heat of Japan is quite something, and in olden times without airconditioning, getting naked was the easiest way to cope with it.

Men and women would just wear a small piece of cloth to cover the private parts, see below, fundoshi.





In many rural hot springs people enjoyed the bath naked and all together (konyoku buro 混浴) but with the advent of Western "civilization" this habit has been almost gone out of practise. The hot bath is still taken while naked, but now men and women are separated in different pools.
