Lot Essay
The first poem by Priest Zensho from the Shin kokin wakashu reads:
Hatsuseyama yu koe kurete ya o toeba
Miwa no hihara ni akikaze zo fuku
Climbing Mount Hatsuse, evening comes; I asked for accomodation,
the autumn wind blows in a dry field
Hatsuseyama yu koe kurete ya o toeba
Miwa no hihara ni akikaze zo fuku
Climbing Mount Hatsuse, evening comes; I asked for accomodation,
the autumn wind blows in a dry field
