KKS VII: 362

A poem written on a folding screen with paintings of the four seasons, created as a backdrop for the fortieth birthday celebrations of Lord Fujiwara, Major Captain of the Right, by the Principal Handmaid – Autumn.

秋くれど色もかはらぬときは山よそのもみぢを風ぞかしける

aki kuredo
iro mo kaFaranu
tokiFayama
yoso no momidi wo
kaze zo kasikeru
Autumn has come, yet
To the never changing hues on
Evergreen Mountain
Distant scarlet leaves
The wind has lent!

Sakanoe no Korenori

SKKS V: 536

When composing a fifty-poem sequence for Cloistered Prince Shukaku.

紅葉ばのいろにまかせてときは木も風にうつろふ秋の山かな

momijiba no
iro ni makasete
tokiwagi mo
kaze ni utsurou
aki no yama kana
To the scarlet leaves’
Hues entrusting their fate,
The evergreens, too,
Shift with the wind
In the autumn mountains!
