Yugao dana noryo zu. Cooling beneath a evening glory canopy. A couple in the country with a child and a teapot, sitting on a mat beneath a trellis covered with yugao vines, enjoying the full moon. Since ancient times the Japanese have contemplated the combination of snow, flowers, moon, and the beauties of nature. And not only have they contemplated such scenes, they've also made them favored themes for paintings and poetry.
