Basho Again
A form of Basho is in front of the JR Shinshirakawa Station. I came here yesterday, with my young friends, to take an automobile to Ten-Ei Mura British Hills. The automobile was on the other side of the station.

More about the Hills
20060418_131732.jpg Hills are small mountains.

 British Hills in fact
 are not hills or mountains.
 They are a sort of hotel
 on a mountain,
 with a special purpose.

 Nearly everything in
 this hotel
 is British or English.

 The building and the
 14 houses
 are copies of old ones in
 Britain.

Most of the workers are able to give talks in English
though some have Australian sounds.
 
Streets are clean with no automatic soft-drink machines.

Who Is It Again?
20060429_137021.jpg This is the one seated in
 front of the British Hills
 office building.
 This person has a
 short growth of hair
 on the upper lip.
 So this is a man.
 He has little hair on the
 top of his head but has
 long hair on the back.
 He is in short
 bag-like trousers and
 pointed shoes.
 He has a roll of paper in his
 left hand.

Now you may see who he is.
He is the most note[d] English writer of verse and plays.

The Pub
20060512_144279.jpg
"Pub" is a short form of "public house."
It is a place for
talks and drinks.

British Hills
have their pub among
other houses.
Do you see its signboard
in this picture?

The name of this
public house
is "Falstaff."
It is to be sounded
like "fall-staff."
It was named after
Sir John Falstaff,
the very fat man of humor
in plays by Shakespeare.
