| (imho): | If the breeze is caused by fan in your hand, there will be no grasses that won’t flow. |
| poet: | Nakatsukasa |
| in: | 10th century |
It is said that this poem was written on a fan which was a tribute to a emperor of the time. What an intelligent person that Ms. Nakatsukasa praised the emperor by quoting a passage from the Analects!
I wrote this verse on a piece of paper with Japanese anemone.
The Japanese anemone of my home also started to bloom. This grass will also flow in the wind of a saint.
