Nature

The storms, which round Mount Mimuro

by Tachibana no Nagayasu dates unknown

Translated by William N. Porter (1909) · From A Hundred Verses from Old Japan (Hyakunin Isshu), poem 69

Nature

The storms, which round Mount Mimuro
Are wont to howl and scream,
Have thickly scattered maple leaves
Upon Tatsuta’s stream;
Like red brocade they seem.
