Tsukimi - Moon Viewing

Poem

Jiku - Master Kidō

掬水月在手　

Mizu o kiku sureba/ tsuki te ni ari

I scoop up water and the moon is in my hands

Enlightenment Poem - Chiyono: also known as Mugai Nyodai (1223-1298)

tonikaku ni/ takumishi oke no/ soko nukete/ mizu tamaraneba/ tsuki mo yadorazu

With this and that I tried to keep the bucket together, and then the bottom fell out. Where water does not collect, the moon does not dwell

- Translation, Merle Kodo Boyd, 2013.
