Composed on the conception of the arrival of spring, when I was spending the turning of the year near Naniwa[i] on a pilgrimage.[ii]
いつしかとはるきにけりと津のくにの難波のうらを霞こめたり
itsushika to haru kinikeri to tsu no kuni no naniwa no ura o kasumi kometari So swiftly
[i] Naniwa 難波 lay near the mouth of the Yodo River in what is now Osaka. It was an important poetic location (utamakura ), referenced in innumerable waka.
[ii] Most likely to Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine (sumiyoshi taisha 住吉大社) and the Shitennōji 四天王寺 temple which were important religious sites nearby.
