- - - Station 35 - Kanazawa 金沢 - - -


Across the mountains of Unohana-yama and the valleys of Kurikara-dani, I entered the city of Kanazawa on July the fifteenth, where I met a merchant from Osaka named Kasho who invited me to stay at his inn.

There was in this city a man named Issho whose unusual love of poetry had gained him a lasting reputation among the verse writers of the day. I was told, however, that he had died unexpectedly in the winter of the past year. I attended the memorial service held for him by his brother.

Move, if you can hear,
Silent mound of my friend,
My wails and the answering
Roar of autumn wind.

A visit to a certain hermitage:

On a cool autumn day,
Let us peel with our hands
Cucumbers and mad-apples
For our simple dinner.

Tr. by Nobuyuki Yuasa

金沢
卯の花山くりからが谷をこえて金沢は七月中の五日也。爰に大坂よりかよふ商人何處と云者有。それが旅宿をともにす。

一笑と云ものは、此道にすける名のほの%\聞えて、世に知人も侍しに、去年の冬早世したりとて、其兄追善を催すに

塚も動け我泣声は秋の風

ある草庵にいざなはれて

秋涼し手毎にむけや瓜茄子 - aki suzushi te goto ni muke ya uri nasubi


途中吟

あか/\と日は難面もあきの風 aka aka to

秋涼し手毎にむけや瓜茄子
aki suzushi te goto ni muke ya uri nasubi


'I was invited to a certain grass hut'

autumn is cool
let each hand set to peeling
melons and eggplants

Tr. Barnhill
Barnhill notes that an earlier version goes like this:

残暑しばし手毎に料れ瓜茄子
zansho shibashi tegoto ni ryoore uri nasubi

summer heat lingers,
let's set our hands to cooking
melon and eggplants




[headnote] - - - 'Invited to a Certain Grass Hut'

autumn coolness
each peeling with our hands
melons and eggplants

Tr. Reichhold
