Hi all, I'd like to share with you a poem that was written by Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933) seventy-three years ago today (November 3). It's probably the best-known poem in Japan. I learned it at school when I was in third or fourth grade and instantly liked it. I hople you'll like it too. (Those who can display Japanese on their computers, use UTF-8 to read the original text version.)
