On the conception of love on first meeting, from a hundred poem sequence at the residence of the Gohosshōji Lay Priest and Former Regent and Chancellor [Fujiwara no Tadamichi].
たのまずはしかまのかちの色をみよあひそめてこそふかくなるなれ
| tanomazu wa shikama no kachi no iro o miyo ai somete koso fukaku narunare | Unasked, Shikama’s fresh dyed Hues behold! Our first meeting’s indigo dyes Grow ever deeper! |
