An Account of my Hut, choka, Fukuhara, Kamo no Chomei, Kyoto

Something so simple

as the capital changing

made everyone move,

except for the redundant.

Highly-prized estates

fell into rack and ruin.

Men were uncertain.

Suddenly they all shifted

right back to where they’d come from.

Well, Fukuhara

was found to be limiting.

You can bet your boots

old houses were not re-built

in terms of former grandeur.

Unique

Genji, Kiyoshi Saito, Murasaki Shikibu, Oigimi, Sanjo princess

(Kiyoshi Saito; Maiko Kyoto.

JAOD)

 

Although you can wear

the same clothing as others,

everyone’s unique,

even if they’re related.

You can’t summon up

individual qualities.

The Sanjo princess

did not quite reach his standard,

whatever she was dressed in.

She wasn’t equal

to Oigimi after all,

but he could train her.

She had a fair bit to learn.

He hoped she would not shame him.
