Composed on the conception of visiting distant blossom in the mountains, on a day when he was due to return after paying a visit to the residence of the regent.

たづねつる花のあたりになりにけりにほふにしるしはるの山かぜ

tazuneturu Fana no atari ni narinikeri nioFu ni sirusi Fa Faru no yamakaze

I have paid a visit to A place of blossom Here; Of their scent a sign is carried On the spring mountain breezes.

Former Emperor Sutoku
