Round Five

Left

さやけさに又ことごともわすられてふた心なく月をこそみれ

sayakesa ni mata kotogoto mo wasurarete futagokoro naku tsuki o koso mire

In its pure clarity Still, all other things Are forgotten, With no divisions in my heart Do I view the moon!

Lord Suetsune

Right (Win)

いかで猶秋しも月のかかりけむみるほどあらじ夏のよならば

ikade nao aki shimo tsuki no kakarikemu miru hodo araji natsu no yo naraba

Why is it that always In autumn, above all, the moon Does seem to hang within the sky? There’s no time to see it, perhaps, On a summer night…

Lay Priest Sanekiyo

The Left’s configuration is entirely lacking in consistency and, in addition, fails to indicate a clear conception, so the Right must be declared the winner.
