History (Thomas W Hare):
| "Sode no tsuyu" means "dew upon the sleeve." It's an old poetic image which often implies a comparison between dew and tears, and envisions a subject speaking about his or her long silk sleeves bedecked with tears. The tears are often seen to reflect the image of the moon, which in its turn harbors a broad range of poetic and religious associations. |
