The stories behind the coins are what really bring them to life. While I don't have any coins of Mexican Emperor Maximilian I, but knowing his story, certainly brings life into those coins (I mean, not to him of course, his life as of was short lived :) )

Green and more green: the season of new leaves in Japan. At Kyōto Imperial Palace (京都御所) I went into the former residence area of Emperors. Plus, from the northernmost subway station in the city, I walked around Treasure Pond (宝ヶ池公園), where I spotted a shy doe, oh deer!

It was during this season that my haiku in Japanese was published in the national Asahi Haidan, with a circulation of about eight million households at the time:

若葉には 枝に世界が 回るやう (全国版朝日俳壇)
To young leaves
The world seems
To spin on a branch

For criteria on making or judging real haiku in languages other than Japanese, read:

Download my published haiku, the Bilingual Haiku Scroll (和英俳句の掛け軸), with some of my best Kyōto photos representing the four seasons:

Treasure Pond in northernmost Kyoto City. It's amazing to step out of the subway into an environment like this.
