However, he was still not satisfied... It's said he was the most successful person in Japan.
But his death poem says: 露と落ち 露と消えにし 我が身かな 浪速のことも 夢のまた夢 (My life and all that I have done in Osaka is just a dream in a dream, like a dew I came, like a dew I go).

You know, we can't take anything that we possess in this earth when we pass away. But our desires are endless.
Now rainy season here in Japan, you even hear the sound of dew drops from hydrangeas.
Although we speak different languages, we live on the same earth!! Visit JAPAN!! All Japanese people welcome you!
