英訳 新古今和歌集5 春
Shinkokin Wakashu-5 Spring
今日といへば もろこしまでも ゆく春を 都にのみと 思ひけるかな
皇太后宮大夫俊成 (藤原俊成)
(鑑賞) 今日は、遠く唐土(モロコシ)までにも及ぶといわれる立春だが、この都にのみ来たかのだと思ったのだった
It is the beginning of spring today, which is said to reach as far as China, inclusively.
Yet, I have thought as though it should come only to this capital of Japan, exclusively.
Toshinari, Master of the Empress Dowager’s Household (Toshinari Fujiwara)
