幾重にも 縮緬の葉の 重なりて 葉牡丹咲ける 街角の冬


令和六年一月二十日


葉牡丹の縮緬の葉は幾重にも重なりて開きたり

先日都内を歩きおれば路の脇の植栽に葉牡丹植へられたり

冷たき風の葉を縮れさせたるか

寒風を避けるごとく幾重にも葉は重なりたり


Ornamental cabbage opens a lot of layers of crepe leaves.

The other day when I was walking in Tokyo, I saw ornamental cabbage planted on the side of the road.

Did the cold wind cause the leaves to be crepey wrinkles?

The leaves pile up and protect themselves from the cold wind.
