Current senryu challenge
Volume: Husbands
- 評判の愛妻弁当自作です
I love this one! I don’t think any hints are necessary, but an image search for 愛妻弁当 might be informative.

Online tools like dictionaries, sentence databases, and even AI translation engines are fair game and can be extremely helpful. Yomichan is particularly handy if you use the Chrome or Firefox browser. The 語源由来辞典 is also an excellent resource for researching the etymology of various words and expressions.
