The First Cold Shower

Some time ago when researching haiku, I ran into this “Basho classic”:

the first cold shower

even the monkey seems to want

a little coat of straw

I imagined a drawing that could go with this and Mom could calligraphy. After reading later about the snow monkeys of Japan, I ended up making this:

  1. I will be happy to calligraphy this, if you would like. What do you mean that you “ended up making this”?
