Ikkyu Sojun (1394-1481)


Bamboo Flute

My solitary shakuhachi sings of bitterness almost beyond bearing.
I'm like a barbarian in a remote place, blowing upon a reed-wrapped flute.
Even at the crossroads (the capital), does anyone understand my music?
Indeed, within the school of Zen, Ikkyu has few friends
