rain shower--
the grave's shikimi branches, too
are summer trees

murasame ya haka no shikimi mo natsu kodachi

.むら雨や墓のしきみも夏木立

by Issa, 1821

Branches of the shikimi tree are placed on Buddhist graves. In my vision of this haiku, the rain is causing these branches to bud. Shinji Ogawa doubts that Issa intended the above reading of shikimi.
He writes that shikimi can mean "threshold" (usually pronounced shiki-i). He visualizes the haiku in the following way: "Viewing the grave as a house, Issa saw the summer tree as the threshold."

In rural Japan, shikimi trees are planted next to the family graves in front of the home.
They look fresh and green all the time.
