'Land Snail and Giant Katydid'

by Utamaro, 1788

Poem Translation Land Snail (Kori Karinushi)

I am riled by love’s untruths, just like the
land snail lets out it’s horns when wet.
Giant Katydid　(Kashihon Furuki)
The giant katydid reminds
me of a noisy woman
who screams in jealous rage.

'Snail Bee and Snail Look for Snow'

Loek Koopmans:
'Snail Bee and Snail Look for Snow'

Frog knows all about water. Bee knows all about
the sky. And Snail knows all about the earth. So how
come none of them know about snow? Waking from
their winter sleep, the three friends are astonished to
hear of a thing called snow that fell from the sky.
Where is it hiding now? Determined to find out
all about snow, they set off on a journey of
discovery which takes them
through the seasons.
