this haiku is by Kikaku

And I did not find any hint of a similar one for Kyorai µîÍè in the
Japanese
WEB pages.

................................. as for the translation

> This snow is mine

I would rather change it to this version

> this snow is mine -
> thinking that way it seems lighter
> on my sedge hat

*yoroshi,* though, does not mean
lighter ...
