Come See Cherry Blossoms

On the way home I found this tree. I feel my Japanese background as I always seek #cherry #blossoms in a #spring and re-enjoy old Japanese poems. 我が背子が古き垣内の桜花いまだ含めり一目見に来ね “Oh, darling, in our old garden, the cherry blossoms have not bloomed out yet. Come over ; see them together.” Ōtomo no Yakamochi, #Manyōshū , Volume18, #4077 #poem In reply, the kind poem was sent to Yakamochi’s friend, Ikenushi transferred to Echizen. *literally the "Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves" in Japanese. An #anthology of ancient Japanese poems compiled c. 759 CE during the #Nara Period but including many earlier works. #万葉集 第18巻 4077 番歌 #大伴家持 やはり #日本人の#background を感じるのは, いつも #桜を #春 には 探します. 実は, 万葉集と #広辞苑が 私と共にこちらへ 参りました. あ, それと, 絵の具箱も. 時に, この 歌, あれっと 思いませんか, #恋文 のようですが, 家持は男性です. ン? その前に越前へ転勤した大伴池主からの 共に桜を見れない寂しさをよんだ歌へ #女仕立ての歌 を返しているのです. カンの良いかた は "ふふむ" にピンとくるかしら? Anyway, いつか, みなさんと一諸に"櫻" を見たいものですね. #水彩画 #a3
