Kokinshu #394
Wednesday, 22 May 2013 07:16 Written under the cherry blossoms when the Prince of Urin Temple had climbed the mountain for a memorial service and was returning.
If only the cherries
whirled about in disorder
in the mountain wind
-- you might then be detained in
the confusion of flowers.
