japanese poetry is known for its brevity. haiku is a 'modern' development, the older tanka (short poem) are 5-7-5-7-7. there's a rare form, the 'long song' or 'naga uta', of which hitomaro is the uncontested master. this is his lament upon losing his wife, which happens to be my favorite poem...

i actually started with a fishkit, a toolbox filled with aquarium related tools, to which was added gardening tools and now a few bonsai tools and a separate seed library. like everything of mine, it's old and has a history.
