In other day, i met a pheasant rooster crossing a street on my walk.
I felt spring season. On the other hand, i wanted to cheer for the bird living hard in a wooded area that is being eroded by urban development.
I met this verse in such timing.
This verse was created in Edo period, pheasants would still have lived easily.
Only honk of a pheasant and sound of swinging a hoe must have been echoing in the world.
The dresing of this works was imaged a shining of feather of a pheasant rooster and sunlight reflected on the hoe.
