Today we’re drawing from Chapter 19 of the Tale of Genji and Kokinshu 832.
Sources:
Poem from Royall Tyler’s translation of The Tale of Genji:
“O cherry trees upon Fukakusa Moor, if you are kind, just for this year, I beg, blossom in gray!”
Poem from Seidensticker’s translation of The Tale of Genji:
“If you have hearts, o cherries of Fukukasa,
This year alone send forth your flowers in black.”
Poem from Washburn’s translation of The Tale of Genji:
“If the cherry trees on the plains of Fukakusa have any feelings at all, for this year only let them put forth blossoms of mourning gray.”
Poem from Kokinshu: A Collection of Poems Ancient and Modern translated by Laurel Rasplica Rodd
oh cherry trees of
Fukakusa Field if you
truly have a heart
this year at least you’ll be dressed
in blossoms dyed inky black
