Tsukimi Kana

蔵焼けて
障るものなき
月見哉

kura yakete
sawaru mono naki
tsukimi kana

My storehouse burnt down,
There is nothing to obstruct
The moon-view.

A haiku by Mizuta Masahide (水田正秀).

Commissioned painting requesting a portrayal of this haiku. The calligraphy didn't work out too well since I wasn't using calligraphy ink or a calligraphy brush, and it was kind of small (plus some kanji I've never written before), but I think it's not too much of an ugly result? I don't profess to be adept at calligraphy, so I think it's better to think of rather as painted.
