MT. IWATE
When I went on a trip to the Tohoku district last October, I saw Mt. Iwate for the first time in my life. The top of the mountain was partially covered with snow, which made the view all the more beautiful.
The tour guide told us about Ishikawa Takuboku, who composed a well-known poem about the mountain. It goes:
When I see the mountain
in my home village,
I have nothing to say to it.
I appreciate the mountain.
I had known the poem, but I did not know which mountain Takuboku composed the poem about. Now I know which one.
Iwate Mountain
Embraces Takuboku
Like his mother
