Kinkai wakashū 109

Composed on wisteria hanging from a pine tree, when I had a diorama of the Ōi River constructed as a stimulation for an archery meet.

たちかへりみてもわたらん大井川かはべの松にかかる藤なみ

ōigawa
kawabe no matsu ni
kakaru fujinami
Let me rise and return
To gaze across
The River Ōi—
From the pines upon the river bank
Hang wisteria waves.

Egyō hōshi-shū 112

When various people went to view the scarlet leaves by the Ōi River in the Tenth Month.

大井河かはべのもみぢちらぬまはとなせのきしにながゐしぬべし

chiranu ma wa
tonase no kishi ni

On the Ōi River’s
Riverside the scarlet leaves
Have yet to scatter, so
At Tonase’s bank
I would linger long.

GSIS VI: 379

Composed in the Tenth Month of Jōhō 3 [1076] when the reigning emperor had made a progress to the River Ōi to go hunting.

大井川ふるきながれを尋ねきて嵐のやまの紅葉をぞ見る

oFowigaFa
Furuki nagare wo

arasi no yama no
momidi wo zo miru
The River Ōi:
This ancient flow
Have I come to visit, and
Around the mount of storms,
Scarlet leaves I see!

GSIS VI: 377

Composed when His Majesty’s gentlemen had gone to the River Ōi on the first day of the Tenth Month to compose poetry.

落ちつもる紅葉をみれば大井川井堰に秋もとまる なりけり

otitumoru
momidi wo mireba
oFowigaFa
iseki ni aki mo
tomaru narikeri
Fallen in piles are
The scarlet leaves – when I see them at
The River Ōi
The weirs and dams autumn
Have held in place…
