一升でいくらが物ぞ露の玉

Issa is of course asking a rhetorical question. One answer, though, might be everything and nothing. Ordinary dew is not a commodity with monetary value. On the other hand, Issa is referring to three meanings of tama, the "drop" in "dewdrop": 1) a sphere, drop, bead, or ball, 2) a jewel or gem, or 3) a soul, spirit, or life-force. <br /><br />Dew is a very common metaphor for the shortness of life in Japanese literature, and dewdrops are often used to suggest souls. In fact, Issa may be alluding in this hokku to the famous chapter 6 in Ise Tales (Ise monogatari), in which a woman asks what a drop (tama) of dew is while not knowing that she will soon die and that her own soul (tama) will then leave her body. <br /><br />Since round, glistening dewdrops suggest the soul, and souls have infinite worth, half a gallon of them mocks the very notion of monetary value. Any attempt to measure the infinite roundness of the soul in a square one-shou wooden box, the way one shou was usually measured, would be comic in its inherent impossibility. <br /> <br />Chris Drake<br />.Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11660576.post-34002585646842199422013-06-14T10:54:06.875+09:002013-06-14T10:54:06.875+09:00Kobayashi Issa
