Asian Women Daily Life - general discussion
"Rouged lips" is a verse from Chiyo's best and most memorable realization haiku:
Rouged lips
forgotton --
clear spring water.
This haiku, written at age sixty-two, shows her forgetting her rouged lips (the makeup which was so important to women of her time) while drinking the fresh water.
