  1.  

銀朱の躑躅を背にし今がわが旬と蕗(ふふき)の青々とのぶ

vermillion

azaleas behind them…

Akita butterburs

lushly growing, saying

“Now, my time”

2-

蕗の間の妖精見むと茎分けゆけば光差し緑さはだつ 

when I look

for fairies hiding among

butterburs

a ray of light shining through

freshening the greenery

3-

墓標裏しだるる藤の紫の風になびける回忌法要

behind the grave…

drooping purple flowers

of wisteria

sway in the breezes

on the memorial service day

4-

鏡田の水面おだしく朝日映ゆ我があらたなる一日(ひとひ)踏みそむ

rising sun

reflecting on the water’s surface

of the paddy

like a calm mirror

I start a new day today

5―

淡墨(うすずみ)に黄砂まどへる五月空めぐり来る気は拒みがたしも

May sky

with yellow sand drifting

in grey

it’s hard to reject the air

visiting by circulation

6-

ひたぶるに風にゆだぬる我が生に花の光(かげ)だに残りけるかな

although

my life is empty, being left

to the wind

only the sparkling of flowers

is still inside me

7-

揺れそよぐ下枝(しずえ)のもとにマーガレット白く際際一群に咲く

under swaying

lower branches of the tree

a family of Marguerite

blooms in white

knowing their own place

8-

われもまた地に生を享け個に生きむ牡丹の蕾さみだれに濡る

also, I’m born

on earth and must live

for an ego…

peony buds are

wet with early summer rain

9-

蔦もゆる野辺の木のもと紫のゆかりほのぼの菫ちりばむ

purple bond…

violets faintly blooming

and scattering

under the tree

that ivies are entwining

10-

たまちはふ不死鳥留まる桐の花ひろらなる野に紫にほふ  

graceful spirits…

paulownia, on which Phoenix 

alights

flowering in the vast fields

with purple fragrance
