SKKS V: 536

When composing a fifty-poem sequence for Cloistered Prince Shukaku.

紅葉ばのいろにまかせてときは木も風にうつろふ秋の山かな

momijiba no
iro ni makasete
tokiwagi mo
kaze ni utsurou
aki no yama kana
To the scarlet leaves’
Hues entrusting their fate,
The evergreens, too,
Shift with the wind
In the autumn mountains!

Kintsugu, Supernumerary Master of the Crown Prince’s Household Office
