Composed on wisteria hanging from a pine tree, when I had a diorama of the Ōi River constructed as a stimulation for an archery meet.

たちかへりみてもわたらん大井川かはべの松にかかる藤なみ

tachikaeri mitemo wataran ōigawa kawabe no matsu ni kakaru fujinami

Let me rise and return To gaze across The River Ōi— From the pines upon the river bank Hang wisteria waves.
