#落柿舎 — Public Fediverse posts

One of the loveliest features of the hut is a small box, 'tōku-bako' (投句箱), for posting your poems...keeping the original purpose of the thatched cottage alive.

Mukai named his hermitage 'Hut of the Fallen Persimmons' (落柿舎 'Rakushisha') in the autumn of 1689.
40 persimmon trees stood in the cottage grounds, and he sold the fruit in advance to a merchant. Shortly before harvesting a storm struck, and Mukai awoke to find the trees stripped.

the persimmon's astringent-
the crow, too, knows
and passes on
渋柿と烏も知つて通りけり
-Kobayashi Issa (小林一茶), 1820.
