When the Monk Jōjin went to China, his mother composed.
もろこしもあめのしたにぞありときくてる日のもとをわすれざらなん
| morokoshi mo ame no shita ni zo ari to kiku teru hi no moto o wasurezaranan |
Even Cathay Lies beneath the heavens Or so I’m told; The land where the blazing sun arises, Forget not. |
The Mother of the Monk Jōjin
