COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Fabrizio Frosini 14 September 2016

'' The custom of 'airing out' is done in summer to prevent kimonos, books, scrolls, and so on from being eaten by insects and mold. Here, there is also a subtext of frustration, probably stemming from the suppression of women in Edo society. '' from 'Chiyo-ni: Woman Haiku Master', by Patricia Donegan & Yoshie Ishibashi
