Composed for Prince Niitabe (son of Tenmu. 673-730) by Kakinomoto-no-Hitomaro Our lord who rules in peace Prince of the high-shining sun Above the prospering palace Snow comes and goes Dispatched by an immemorial heaven And like the snow May your rounds continue Indeed forever Man'yoshu 261
Yatsuriyama's stand of trees Nowhere to be seen What fun of a morning To dash through madly falling snow Man'yoshu 262 |
