Unbeaten by Rain

Miyazawa Kenji wrote the poem Ame ni mo makezu (Unbeaten by Rain) in a notebook in November 1931, while he lay ill. It was found after his death.

The poem begins with a wish not to be beaten by rain or wind, by snow or summer heat. It describes a person who is never angry and always smiles quietly.
