WUZ MARUTAMACHI

During a twilight hour, the poet Shiki Masaoka walked along his daily path -the Marutamachi street of Kyoto. The fragrance of plum and cherry blossoms filled the air, and a serene silence permeated the atmosphere. He wrote:

“山川草木の　花の匂を　あまり深く　思うところある　人の心體”

The natural essence and tranquil ambiance caused his soul to settle, deeply moving him and awakening a reverence for nature.
