Kitagawa Utamaro, 1754–1806
Tanka for the Full Moon of the Snake Year
Sign of good fortune,
a rainbow snake bites its tail
and rings the full moon.
May it lick our ears in sleep
that we might dream of singing.

Tanka para la luna llena del año de la serpiente
Signo de la buena fortuna,
una serpiente arco iris se muerde la cola
y rodea la luna llena.
Que nos lama los oídos en el dormir
para que soñemos en cantar.
Katsushika Hokusai 葛飾北斎, 1760-1849)
