Samurai (Senryu)

by Elapsed   Oct 30, 2007


The samurai end
A way of life swept a side
laws changing their life.

*The samurai officially ended in 1876, when the government passed a law stating that only members of the national conscript army could wear swords.*

    I do like the Senryu... a great form where you cram whatever you can in such a short space. What a great memorial to the samurai, a wonderful piece!
