SKS IX: 276

When he was travelling to perform his devotions, he rested beneath some blossoming cherries.

このもとをすみかとすればおのづからはなみる人となりぬべきかな

ko no moto wo
sumika to sureba
onodukara
Fana miru Fito to
narinubeki kana
When beneath the trees
My dwelling place is, then
Without meaning to
A blossom-viewing man
Have I become, alas!

His Majesty, Former Emperor Kazan
