Jesus probably has a strong disdain for figs and fig leaves. Sin is not meant to be covered in our own strength, but brought into the light of Christ. His blood, death on the cross, and resurrection are the only things that can cover sin, wash us clean, and bring life.

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. ‭‭-Genesis‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ ‭(NKJV‬‬)

- Nakahara Chūya, “Fig Leaves”, The Poems of Nakahara Chūya: Songs of the Past, Translated by Paul Mackintosh and Maki Sugiyama

Translator’s Note: “…the main priority in translation has been to produce versions of Nakahara’s poems which function as tolerable English verse; generally by concentrating on the progression of imagery and argument at the expense of metrical and sound values. This has done particular violence to the syllabic basis of the verses, generally held to be one of Nakahara’s great poetic strengths… Some of Nakahara’s images and metaphors may strike the Western reader as strange… But this strangeness is not a product of any culture gap, nor of the translation process. It is Nakahara’s own.”
