tatutayama
mitutu koekisi
sakurabana
tirika suginamu
wa ga kaperu to ni
On Tatsuta Mountain:
While crossing it, I did gaze
Upon the cherry blossoms:
Will they all have fallen
When I go home again?

Hello!
May I ask who is the author of the entire English translation of Man’yōshū? I’m doing a presentation about waka poetry and my professor asks for the names of translators, if they are known.

Thank you!
All the translations here are by me.
