Yukiko’s (由起子) sakura haiku (俳句) about the Kanda River (神田川)

@Haiku_in_Englis @haikunortham @tinywords @HaikuDiem @autohaiku

Five years ago this happened. I have shown other haikus before. This one I don’t get. Read literally it says something like “Kanda River, even read from the bottom, reads Kanda River”, but that isn’t true. Kanda River read from the bottom is River Dakan so what am I missing?
