Excerpt from “For the Fighting Spirit of the Walnut”
by Takashi Hiraide
translated by Sawako Nakayasu

- Things that rain, and things that grow.
- They are all that hold my interest.
- (Until the things that rain have grown, and the things that grow have poured.)
- Things that grow, and things that rain.
- (Until the things that grow cease to grow, and the things that
rain no longer rain a single drop.)
