Here is my rather loose translation of a winter hokku by Yasui:
In all the whiteness,
Not one thing moves;
The frosty night.
Perhaps it reminds you of another winter hokku by Chiy0-ni:
In field and mountain,
Nothing moves;
The snowy morning.
In two days comes the Midwinter Solstice and the shortest day of the year and the longest night. Then the days will slowly begin to grow longer. and the new cycle will begin.
