When Lord Yoshinobu had gone to Ōharano, he met someone whom it seemed strange to find living in such a mountain retreat; when Yoshinobu asked him how he had come to be there:
世中を背きにとてはこしかどもなを憂きことは大原の里
| yo no naka o somuki ni tote wa koshikadomo nao uki koto wa ōhara no sato |
“The mundane world I will abandon,” I said and Came here, yet Still are there many sorrows In this estate at Ōhara. |
