Explanation

tide shio しお (潮／汐)
..... ushio, choo うしお (潮)

quote
Tides are the rising of Earth's ocean surface caused by the tidal forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on the oceans. Tides cause changes in the depth of the marine and estuarine water bodies and produce oscillating currents known as tidal streams, making prediction of tides important for coastal navigation.

Tides may be semidiurnal (two high waters and two low waters each day), or diurnal (one tidal cycle per day). In most locations, tides are semidiurnal. daily inequality changes with time and is generally small when the Moon is over the equator.

Moon tides, lunar tides
The word "tides" is a generic term used to define the alternating rise and fall in sea level with respect to the land, produced by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun. To a much smaller extent, tides also occur in large lakes, the atmosphere, and within the solid crust of the earth, acted upon by these same gravitational forces of the moon and sun.
When the sun and moon are aligned, there are exceptionally strong gravitational forces, causing very high and very low tides which are called
spring tides,
though they have nothing to do with the season.
When the sun and moon are not aligned, the gravitational forces cancel each other out, and the tides are not as dramatically high and low. These are called neap tides.

葛飾北斎 Katsushika Hokusai 潮干狩図 Shiohigari
In the Edo period, the Ooshio 大潮 tide was on the third day of the third lunar month, when Shiohigari begun.
Here is a painting with Mount Fujisan in the background. People would go out as far as possible on a boat and then work their way back to the beach. The best catch was
アサリ Asari and ハマグリ Hamaguri.
They would also take home small fish from the tide pools.


- quote -
Thirty-six enjoyments of Edo: Suzaki Shiohigari
Shiohigari(Shellfish gathering at low tide) which was one of the beach activities for the people in Edo, could be seen as an annual event in March on the beaches such as Shinagawa, Shibaura, Fukagawa Suzaki.



Among all 洲崎　Suzaki was especially crowded with many people as a famous spot for shellfish gathering.

HAIKU

- - - Kobayashi Issa - - -

汐干潟雨しとしとと暮かかる
shiohi-gata ame shito-shito to kure kakaru

low tide
in a soft, soft rain...
darkness coming

The season word ("tideland at low tide": shiohi-gata) suggests that there are people in the scene, hunched over, searching for shellfish. The day is growing dark, and rain is falling. Issa evokes a slice of life, with a world of feeling and implications, with a few deft strokes of his writing brush.



汐干潟しかも霞むは女也
shiohi-gata shikamo kasumu wa onna nari

low tide--
the mist wrecks my view
of the women

Or: "the woman." The women (or woman) are gathering shellfish at low tide. As Shinji Ogawa explains, shikamo in this context means, "why on earth" or "oh well." Issa doesn't like the spring mist that obscures his view, interfering with his girl-watching.
