God and a Bee

There is a geography teacher at Kikugawa Jr. High who often copies for me random Japanese poetry, short stories, and articles pertaining to Japanese culture and history. Most of the time at least some of the things he copies are in English. Upon cleaning out a folder of unorganized lesson plans today, I ran across this lovely albiet simple poem. It's a shame my kanji is so terrible because I cannot read the author's name.

God and a Bee
A bee is inside a flower,
A flower is inside a garden,
A garden is inside a clay fence,
A clay fence is inside a town,
A town is inside Japan,
Japan is inside the world,
The world is inside of God.
And so, and so, God
Is inside a little bee.
