A fan owned by His Highness, the Crown Prince, had upon it a picture of a cuckoo in flight across Mount Kurahashi, and when many people sent poems to accompany it:
さつきやみ倉橋山のほとゝぎすおぼつかなくもなきわたるかな
satuki yami kuraFasiyama no Fototogisu obotukanaku mo nakiwataru kana |
In the Fifth Month’s gloom, On Kurahashi Mountain A cuckoo Faintly Cries out. |
