SKKS XIX: 1912

Composed at Hiroshi Marōdo Shrine, recalling a visit to Shirayama, when he was Governnor of Kaga.

としふともこしの白山わすれずはかしらのゆきをあはれともみよ

toshi futomo
koshi no shirayama
wasurezu wa
kashira no yuki o
aware tomo miyo
The years have passed, yet
The mountains white at Shirayama in Koshi
Never will I forget!
So, The snow above my brow,
O, behold with pity!

Master of the Left Capital Office Akisuke
