KYS I: 50

Composed at the Poetry Match held at the Residence of the Uji Former Grand Minister.

山ざくらさきそめしより久かたの雲井にみゆるたきのしらいと

yamazakura
sakisomeshi yori
hisakata no
kumoi ni miyuru
taki no shira’ito
Since the mountain cherries
Have begun to bloom,
The eternal
Clouds seem
Threaded with a waterfall of white.

Lord Minamoto no Toshiyori

A kuzushiji version of the poem's text.
