三島江の玉江の薦を標めしより己がとぞ思ふいまだ刈らねど

misimae no
tamae no komo wo
simesi yori
wono ga to zo omopu
imada karanedo

At Mishima Bay’s
Gemmed expanse wild rice
Shows the way;
Mine, it is, I think,
Though I have yet to reap it…

komo Mishima Bay mishimae wild rice

Man’yō Botanical Gardens

There are 37 botanical gardens throughout Japan devoted to displaying the plants and poetry of the Man’yōshū, of which 27 are open to the public. In July 2016, I visited ten of these for research purposes, in various parts of Japan’s main island, Honshu, and one of its others, Shikoku. Read More about “Man’yō Botanical Gardens”…
