even in Kyoto--
I long for Kyoto
a hototogisu
Of Bashō's poem, Shūson says: "The first Kyoto in the poem is the real city; the second is the city that lives yet in ancient poetry and fiction."
The hototogisu is a bird known for its song and, in Japan, associated with the coming of the summer months as well as mourning, longing, and melancholy.

I'm so happy I bought a copy of this. It has an index of the haiku. Do you know...how rare that is.
