A poem from the Poetry Contest held by the Empress Dowager during the Reign of the Kanpyō Emperor.

年をへてもゆてふふじの山よりもあはぬ思ひは我ぞまされる

toshi o hete moyu chō fuji no yama yori mo awanu omoi wa ware zo masareru

Through all the passing years Burns Fuji; Far more than the mountain, Not meeting you, the flames of passion, Burn brightly in me.
