SOUNDBITE (English): ANTONIO GUTERRES, UN Secretary-General "Hunger is overwhelming the Horn of Africa. Millions (of people) across Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia are confronting the worst drought in nearly half a century. Four rainy seasons have failed to materialize, and now a fifth will likely fail, too. Starvation is already a terrible reality for many, and famine looms.

28 Fukuroi - Coolies resting by a wayside shelter, while a large kettle, hung from the branch of a tree, is boiling; a woman stirs the fire, while a coolie lights his pipe at it. Close against the tree stands a road direction post, and on the right is a bird perched upon a wayside noticeboard; behind are rice fields, at the edge of which stands the village. In this vicinity the highway passed through desolate fields and it was uncomfortable to journey along during the summer months. However, this district was renowned for its strong winds in winter when kite flying was a popular local pastime. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858).

21 Mariko - Two travellers having refreshment at a wayside teahouse, from which another traveller has just departed, and a woman with a child on her back waiting on them. Beside the teahouse grows a plum tree, just bursting into blossom against the rosy sky; behind rises a grey hill tinted with brown. Here, travellers enjoy grated yam broth, the local speciality, while appreciating the green leaves and plum flowers of the early spring. Basho, the most famous haiku poet in Japan, praised the scenery and the broth in one of his haiku poems. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858).

A teahouse and girls,Mukojima

The English title is Wayside Resting Place. This is probably the endai bench at a teahouse on the Mukojima embankment. The kimono style of the three dressed-up girls indicates that they are geigi (young geisha). The food on the bench appears to be manju sweet buns. Sakura-mochi (cherry cake), which people ate in the cherry-blossom season, is said to have been created by Yamamoto Shinroku, the gateman at Chomeiji Temple in Mukojima during the Genroku Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number85‐35‐0]
