 Toro nagashi (Lantern-floating):
5 poems from the 13th-century Ogura Hyakunin Isshu,
from the Japanese Text Initiative, U. of Virginia Library.
Translation after MacCauley.

Yama kawa ni In a mountain stream

Kaze no kaketaru There is a tangled barrier
Shigarami wa Built by busy wind.

Nagare mo aenu Yet it's only maple leaves,

Momiji nari keri Powerless to flow away.
Harumichi no Tsuraki Harumichi no Tsuraki
Kaze o itami Like a driven wave,
Iwa utsu nami no Dashed by fierce wind on a rock,
Onore nomi So am I: alone.

Kudakete mono o Crushed and broken on the shore,

Omou koro kana Thinking of what used to be.
Minamoto no Shigeyuki Minamoto no Shigeyuki
Wata no hara Over the wide sea,
Yasoshima kakete T’ward its many distant isles,
Kogi idenu to Sailing to the door.

Hito ni wa tsugeyo Those ahead will lead me on;

Ama no tsuri bune. Heavenly fleet of stars.
Sangi Takamura Ono no Takamura
Se o hayami Swiftly rushing stream,
Iwa ni sekaruru Divided by a boulder
Takigawa no In its headlong flow,

Warete mo sue ni Though divided, on it runs,

Awan to zo omou And at last unites again.
Sutoku In Emperor Sutoku
Tachi wakare Though we are parted,
Inaba no yama no If on Mount Inaba's peak
Mine ni oru I should hear the sound

Matsu to shi kikaba Of the pine trees growing there,

Ima kaeri kon I will come back to you.
