Drinking With Someone In The Mountains

by


Drinking With Someone In The Mountains
Ogata Gekko, Drinking sake with friends, an annual rite, 1897

As the two of us drink
together, while mountain
flowers blossom beside, we
down one cup after the other
until I am drunk and sleepy
so that you better go!
Tomorrow if you feel like it
do come and bring your lute
along with you!
