Fortune
望禄応重山
花紅喜悦顔
挙頭看皎月
漸出黒雲間
In English
- Hope for fortune and it piles up like mountains
- red flowers bring a joyful face
- lift your head to see the bright moon
- slowly emerging from between dark clouds
- Meaning
- The promise hangs on one small act: lift your head, and the moon slowly comes out from between the dark clouds. It is easy to miss the red flowers and rewards around you while looking down, so keeping your chin up is half the work.
- What to do today
- Look up at the sky and take three slow, deep breaths.
- A word from the capybara
- Neck stretched out, waiting patiently for the moon to appear.
The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
