More than the color
I find that it's the fragrance
that moves me the most.
Whose sleeve was it that brushed
the plum blossoms by my house?

(Original author unknown.) Note that in the first half, it's not stated whether the color/scent of flowers or of clothing are compared, though the former is the likely initial interpretation until one gets to the second half. Again, I suspect an element of eroticism in the sleeves, especially given that fure can be read as "to wave/flutter" as well as "to touch."iro yori mo
