「涼しさや　ほの三日月の　羽黒山」

21. The Idewa Shrine, The Mount Haguro

The haiku was composed for the holy ground of Mount Haguro shining under a crescent moon.

The expression of silence is part of his admiration to the mountain.

Su-zu-shi-sa ya        (Coolness !)

Ho-no-mi-ka-zu-ki-no   (under a dim crescent)

Ha-gu-ro-ya-ma        (The Mount Haguro)

“How cool the Mount Haguro is under a dim crescent.”

Season word: Suzushisa =coolness (Summer)
