- # Speaking of Hitomaro, here is the english translation of one of my

- # In the autumn mountains
- # The yellow leaves are so thick.
- # Alas, how shall I seek my love
- # Who has wandered away?
- #
- # I see the messenger come
- # As the yellow leaves are falling.
- # Oh, well I remember
- # How on such a day we used to meet--
- # My lover and I!
- # -- Kakinomoto Hitomaro
