When Lord [Minamoto no] Tameyoshi was posted to Mikawa as Governor, the party dismounted at the crossing of Sunomata, and while gazing at Misaka in Shinano, Nôin composed this.
白雲の上より見ゆるあしひきの山の高嶺やみさかなるらん
sirakumo no uFe yori miyuru asiFiki no yama no takane ya misaka naruran |
Clouds of white: Above them one sees, Leg-wearying, A high mountain peak: Misaka, I’d say. |
The Monk Nōin
