Composed for a scene of the Chrysanthemum Festival for a folding screen on the occasion of the coming of age ceremony of the Sanjō Empress.
我が宿の菊の白露今日ごとに幾世積もりて淵となる覧
| wa ga yado no kiku no siratuyu keFu goto ni iku yo tumorite Futi to naruran |
At my house White dewdrops on the chrysanthemums: Today, above all, I would the ages pile upon each other And become a deep, deep pool! |
Motosuke.
