かわず
old word for frog
 |  |  |
|---|---|---|
かわず | The kanji for Frog is 蛙. Both the old kawazu and the modern kaeru pronunciation use this kanji | かえる kaeru - the modern, non-samurai frog [B] |
It isn't easy being green. Or poetic.
SUGGESTED USAGE:
古池やかわず飛び込む水の音。
furu ike ya / kawazu tobikomu / mizu no oto
an old pond / a frog jumps! / the sound of water
Today's suggested usage is not from my imagination, but from Japan's most well-known poet, Basho furu ike - old pond
- 古池 furu ike - old pond
- 飛び込む tobi komu - to jump in, plunge
- 水の音 mizu no oto - sound of water
