" The ginkgo tree in the temple  
     Stands as if sweeping the stars- 
             Frost at midnight " 

                           (Butsuryo Yoshino)

This haiku was composed by Hideharu Yoshino (haiku-penname Butsuryo), who was born in Wake-cho, nearby district and one of the disciples of Toyojo.

This haiku-monument was established on 27th October 1971, the previous day of the 8th anniversary of Toyojo's death and also to commemorate the establishment of the haiku monument "Migrating cranes - / Piercing through / The sunset clouds" by Toyojo on the same day in this temple.
