Issa Spyglass
Perhaps Heidegger was misled by his Japanese aristocrat student: Issa did not say "telescope". He was speaking of a "spyglass".
He must have waited his turn with his 3 coins - but what was he expecting to see as if near? Fuji-san?
That three-kanji combination is now archaic, but was not in 1790.
