Rowboats and yachts are enjoyed in summer.

TOPICS for haiku

Atakemaru 安宅丸 Cruize Ship of the Shogun

- quote -
In the Edo period, many feudal lords in the Kyushu region are said to have sailed the Seto Inland Sea with 30 to 40 ships to and from the area around the current Yodo River in Osaka for Sankin Kotai (alternate attendance). Ships used by these lords on these occasions are called "Gozabune." These Gozabune ships with dynamic and gorgeous interior and exterior decorations were used as a private luxury liner by feudal lords.



One of our ships was renamed "Atakemaru" as a replication of a Gozabune boat in the Heisei era to offer luxurious cruising with a traditional feel to customers mainly from Tokyo (Kanto region) in the Tokyo Port.

"Parade of Lights"
kigo for winter

Each Christmas there is a "Parade of Lights" in our town. I think it is commons around the US, where boats are decorated in lights for the holidays and they have a parade on the water.

With many sails:

白き巨船きたれり春も遠からず
shiroki kyosen kitareri haru mo tookarazu

A great white ship
Is entering the harbour;
Spring cannot be far off.

大野林火 Rinka, trans. Blyth

Blyth notes that "harbour" is not in the haiku, but since Rinka lived in Yokohama, Blyth concludes this is about the harbour there. Kyosen 巨船.

Great ocean liner
setting out on a voyage
becomes a mirage.


山口誓子（やまぐちせいし） Seishi,

Note: "Season Word: 'shinkiroo', 'mirage'. Spring, celestial phenomena."
