i wonder how those

Cornish banana plants are;

and the sound they make

*

Note from The Five Hundred Essential Japanese Season Words by Kenkichi Yamamoto: banana plant (bashoo, all autumn). From which the poet Bashô took his name… A poetical subject because of the sound of its broad, fragile leaves in the autumn wind and rain.
