Re-Reading Genji #3 うつせみ (空蝉 / Utsusemi)
No wonder Japanese is so challenging!
Very nice, indeed.
This is my only contribution to the genre. (kunimi)
山常庭 I Yamato land
村山有等 berg och åter berg som syns
取与呂布 där sig torna upp
天乃香具山 Himlens berg - Kaguyama
登立 om man klättrar upp
国見乎為者 och spanar ut mot nejden
国原波 landet vitt och brett
煙立龍 rökpelare sig reser
海原波 spegeln ifrån sjön
加万目立多都 måsar måsar överallt
怜可国曾 fulländat vackert
蜻島 Trollsländetrakten
八間跡能国者 Yamato är landet här
Dear Hans-Goran,
I was so surprised you had heard of kunimi. I had never heard of it before. My own studies were my focused on the kokinshu (and Izumi shikibi nikki). I think kunimi is assoiated with Manyoshu times? Many years ago, Kyoto Journal did a special issue on satoyama. There was also a famous documentary and recently I noticed a new book called kuni https://www.amazon.com/Kuni-Japanese-Practice-Urban-Rural-Reconnection-ebook/dp/B09QPTFNQY/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1677008633&sr=1-1 I love it that you collected these terms!!
