題自畫（大正四年十一月）

机上蕉堅稿

門前碧玉竿

喫茶三盌後

雲影入窓寒

An Inscription on My Painting (November, 1915)

Shōken’s manuscript on top of the desk,[1]

Emerald green bamboo before the gate.

I sip on tea, and three cups later,

Shadowy clouds are cold in the window.

[1] Shōken is the pen name of medieval Zen poet Zekkai Chūshin (1336-1405).
