河童の恋する宿や夏の月
kawataro no koi suru yado ya natsu no tsuki

in a lodging
where the kappa is in love -
summer moon

. Yosa Buson 与謝蕪村 in Edo .


- quote
The Buson Zenshu has a rubi giving Kawataro for the pronunciation, usual for Kyoto. The editor/s imagine a sort of enchanted atmosphere with maybe a pretty maiden . . . Recalling Bassho's inn with the hagi plants also meaning mature women, I would not be surprised if it also hinted at the inn serving as a rendevous spot/getaway for kawatarou-kuge (a not so complementary term for nobles/kuge, as they, like kappa, were said to be weak in the presence of metal (money and/or weapons? or gold and/or silver -- not sure of these things)).

a kappa farting -
this too is the voice
of Buddha

a frog farting -
this too is the
voice of God

The second would be a Christian version of it.
