SKKS I: 29

16th November 2015 temca Leave a comment

As a spring poem:

あづさゆみはる山ちかくいゑゐしてたえずきゝつる鶯のこゑ

azusayumi
haru yama chikaku
ie ishite
taezu kikituru
uguisu no koe

A catalpa bow
Drawn – the mountains in springtime, nearby
I dwell,
Hearing endlessly
The warbler’s song.

Yamabe no Akahito
山部赤人

bush warbler catalpa bow uguisu Yamabe no Akahito 山部赤人

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”…
