mu's avatar日本文化の愛 Nipponbunka no ai

つれづれの
ながめにまさる
涙河
そでのみぬれて
逢ふよしもなし

tsurezure no
nagame ni masaru
namidagawa 
sode nomi nurete
au yoshi mo nashi

Lost in idle brooding.
That swells with the long rains
A river of tears
That soaks only my sleeves
There is no way to meet you.

-Ariwara no Narihira

Art by Yoshitoshi, Narihira and Nijō no Tsubone at the Fuji River
