Description

This is a work in kana of the haiku
蔵焼けて 障るものなき 月見哉
kura yakete sawaru mono naki tsukimi kana

written by Mizuta Masahide 水田 正秀(みずた まさひで)

This is the translation by Blyth:
My storehouse burnt down,
there is nothing to obstruct
the view of the moon.

what an interesting way of looking at life...

perhaps the last line should say "the view of the moon". then it will have 5 syllables in english too.

BTW I like the way you wrote け. can you give any advice on writing this character? i have trouble with it.
