On the conception of fulling clothes.

みよしのの山のあきかぜさ夜ふけて故郷さむくころもうつなり

miyoshino no
yama no akikaze
sayo fukete
furusato samuku
koromo utsunari
On fair Yoshino
Mountain the autumn wind
Marks a brief night’s end,
For in this ancient place the chill
Carries the sound of fulling cloth.

The End of Winter

Left

したぎえのゆきまをみればふゆながらはるのけちかきここちこそすれ

shitagie no
yukima o mireba
fuyu nagara
haru no kechikaki
kokochi koso sure
Melting below,
Gaps in the snow, I see, so
Though ‘tis yet winter
Spring’s sensation closer
Comes, I feel!

Right (Win)

みよしののやまのしらゆきつもるらしふるさとさむくなりまさるなり

miyoshino no
yama no shirayuki
tsumorurashi
furusato samuku
narimasaru nari
On fair Yoshino
Mountain white snow fall
Drifts high, it seems,
For in this ancient place the chill
Grows ever stronger.
