noun
homesickness; dreaming of one's hometown
Literary word for nostalgic longing for one's hometown, often appearing in poetry or classical prose. The second gloss 'dreaming of one's hometown' is a more literal reading of the kanji, but in practice the word conveys a general sense of homesickness.

His poems are tinged with a feeling of homesickness.
旅先で見た夢は、まさに郷夢だった。
