SIS I: 49

On a folding screen for the Kamo Virgin, for the place showing people going along a mountain path.

ちりちらずきかまほしきをふるさとの花見て帰る人もあはなん

tiritirazu
kikamaFosiki wo
Furusato no
Fana mitekaFeru
Fito mo aFanan
Are they scattered, or not, is
What I would ask, but
The ancient estate’s
Blossom having seen and returned–
Those folk I would have you meet.

Ise
