Haiku 26: Toshigami

Here is today's haiku:

とし神やことしも御世話下さるる

And in romaji:

toshi-gami ya ko toshi mo o-sewa kudasaruru

And English: "New Year god: I humbly beg your help this year too."

This is a haiku by Issa, humbling invoking the help of the Shinto god, kami, of the New Year, toshi: 年神, toshi-gami. He needed help last year, and this year too: も, mo. You can read more about Toshigami at Wikipedia.
