Masaoka Shiki 正岡子規 - koogan 睾丸

- Text by Aoi Tokugawa - Facebook -


Siki Masaoka made many Haiku of 睾丸(Kogan)

睾丸(kogan): See Tanuki 's photo




I 'll introduce some of his Kogan haiku
.......................................................................

睾丸を (koogan o)
のせて重たき (nosete omotaki)
団扇哉 (uchiwa kana)

I put my Kogan on Uchiwa ( round paper fan).
My Kogan was heavy.


------------------

睾丸の (koogan no)
大きな人の (ooki na hito no)
昼寝かな (hirune kana)

A man who has a big Kogan is having an afternoon nap..

----------------------

秋の蚊や (aki no ka ya)
玉の御膚 (tama no onhada)
刺しに来る (sashi ni kuru)

Tama (Ball) = Kogan

Autumn Mosquitoes bite my Tama

----------------------

夏痩や (natsuyase ya)
きん丸許り (kingan bakari)
平気也 (heiki nari)

Kingan = Kogan

I lost weight in summer, But My Kingan didn't lose weight .

-------------------------

永き日や (nagaki hi ya)
頻りに股の(shikiri ni mata no)
いらかゆき (irakayuki)

股(mata) = groin

Today , My groin itches.so itchy.

--------------------------

Why Shiki made Kogan 's Haiku ?
My thinking is;

Shiki got spinal caries. He died aged 34 years old .

Kogan is the man symbol.
Shiki thought that heavy and big Kogan is the symbol of tough guy who is healthy.
Or that He imagined himself to be health by watching his Kogan (Kogan is fine = He is fine.)

Stuggling against hard pain , Shiki was trying to put his Kogan on Uchiwa, it is one scene like cartoon, it makes me a bit smile ,
He didn't forget playful mind even if He was in hard pain .
I love his playful mind.

--------------

I have heard that
his pen name 子規(shiki) imply (or suggest)
死期(shiki / the time of one's death)


He knew his sick. He can not live long .
So He used Pen name that imply Death .
