in Kataoka surely
the autumn leaves have changed now.

Original author unknown. Kataoka ("side hill") is in what's now Kitakatsuragi District in the mountains southwest of Nara, but Ashita (usually "tomorrow" but at the time also "morning") is unknown, even though it became a poetic toponym.kiri tachite
