. Yosa Buson 与謝蕪村 in Edo .

三径の十歩に尽きて蓼の花
sankei no jippo ni tsukite tade no hana

with ten steps
the three garden paths are done -
smartweed flowers.

"In an utterly neglected garden there are three paths, each is only a ten-step walk ending with tade blooming in the weeds.
The three paths are a path of pine trees, a path of chrysanthemums and a path of willows."
Sasaki Sanmi

Buson makes a reference to a poem by his favorite Chinese poet
. Tao Yuanming 　陶淵明 .

Weeds are all over the garden paths
Pine and chrysanthemum are unscathed.
