Chūgū nyōbō uta’awase 6

秋風のをぎの下葉を吹きみだるそらにみちつるひぐらしの声

akikaze no
ogi no shitaba o
fukimidaru
sore ni michitsuru
higurashi no koe
The autumn gusts
The underleaves of cogon grass
Blow into confusion,
All filled with
Sunset cicadas’ songs…

6[i]


[i] Motozane-shū (65) with the headnote ‘Sunset cicadas’ (higurashi 日暮).
