"Journey in the dry wilderness"
The poem is an excerpt from Wakayama Bokusui's " Journey in the dry wilderness."
My straw sandals, are you finally worn out? Today, yesterday, the day before yesterday,I've worn these for three days.I'm good at wearing them,and you're a good worker. We crossed these mountains and rivers together.As I reminisce about the trail,I can't help but feel a longing for them.And I can’t throw away these nostalgic straw sandals.
