Akashi is a river of clouds fluttering in the Awaji River.
Ah, the white boat at Matsuozaki is clearly visible above the pine trees.
A song by Setsu Nagatsuka about Awaji
These are two poems that Nagatsuka Setsu (1879-1915) wrote in Akashi in 38 (Meiji 1905).
Awaji Island is my mother's hometown, and I also spent the first three years of my career in Higashiura Town (Awaji City) about 40 years ago, before the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge was built.
