in the manner
of a mountain retreat
"I have seen MURATA SÛSHOS' teahut, one really has the impression of a mountain retreat, but in reality it can be described as a hidden corner middle in the city."
Washinoo Takayasu (1485 - 1533)
A never ending story: retire to silence - return to every day's life

ukaramu toki no
kakurega ya
miyako no uchi no
matsu no shita io
Even when in the mountains,
my sorrows do not diminish,
my refuge in the middle
of the city
is a hidden corner under
the pines.
Toyohara no Muneaki
(1450 - 1524)
