Spring has gone and summer seems to have come — white robes are spread to dry, they say, on Mount Amanokagu.

Coming out onto Tago Bay and looking up, I see snow still falling on the white peak of Fuji.

Seeing the white frost settled on the bridge the magpies are said to build, I know the night has grown late.

If I pick one it will be by guess alone — the first frost has fallen and I cannot tell it from the white chrysanthemums.

At first light I took it for the dawn moon — the white snow that has fallen on the village of Yoshino.

Across the autumn field, where the wind keeps blowing on the white dew, unstrung jewels are scattering.

Rowing out across the wide sea and looking back, I cannot tell the white waves offshore from the clouds.
