RE: Showing My Hidden Side :: Haiku of Japan #49
Once again, such interesting info on this haiku! That’s a great print to go along with this haiku. FYI I’ve never heard of a death poem before.

You have now :)If you watch closely, sometimes old samurai films will show the samurai giving a death poem before going into battle if he expects to die. Some WW2 films will show the kamikaze fighters doing the same thing. I think the Clint Eastwood WW2 film, Letters from Iwo Jima, showed that.
Thanks for reading :)
Hmm, I will have to watch one of those films sometime!
