春立つ日よめる
春立つと ききつるからに かすが山 消えあへぬ 雪の花と見ゆらん
Translation
Read on the first day of spring.
Ōshikōchi no Mitsune
"Spring has come" / having heard this / Kasuga Mountain's / difficult to melt / snow looks like flowers.
Textual Notes
- よめる] ナシ (行・慶)
- かすが] よしの (荒・片) Mount Yoshino is more associated with snow than Kasuga, although Kasuga has the spring association that Yoshino lacks.
Other Sources
- 躬恒集（大成 I.232,II.181,III.256). The poem is not found in the text of the Mitsune collection that the SKTK editors used as their main text.
- 金玉集 三十人撰 三十六人撰 古来風体抄 定家八代抄 This was apparently a favored poem of Teika, Shunzei, and Fujiwara no Kinto.
- 歌合文永二年七月２. The judge, Shinkan, was commenting on the losing right poem. The poem had clouds on the mountain be mistaken for flowers. Shinkan did not like this image, and wondered if the poet had GSS 2 in mind.
- 沙石集 The SKTK lists this as poem 190; it apparently occurs in variant manuscripts but I'm not yet sure exactly how it fits in.
- 五代歌枕
Notes
- ききつるからに
- つる is the RT of the つ auxiliary, showing completion. からに means "as soon as..."
Analysis
Following the KKS precedent, the GSS continues the spring volume with poems evoking the lingering snow of early spring, and the clash between the calendar season and the natural world. This is a public, occasional poem typical of the KKS style. Kudo notes that putting 立春 after 正月一日 is peculiar to the GSS.
Although Kasuga plains appears in several KKS spring poems (17, 19, 22), Kasuga mountain only appears in poem 364, a "celebration" poem where it's used by association with the Nara Shrine on it. The mountain does appear in the MYS with spring associations, such as poem 1845:
- 鴬の春になるらし春日山霞たなびく夜目に見れども
- It seems to have become the warbler's spring. Even though I see mist on Kasuga Mountain at night.
Also 1843, which appears in a variant form as SIS 3.
- 昨日こそ年は果てしか春霞春日の山に早立ちにけり
- Yesterday the year ended, and today the spring mist is rising on Kasuga Mountain.
Using Kasuga Mountain with snow, however, seems specific to Mitsune's poem, and the image does not occur in later imperial anthologies.
The image of snow confused for flowers is one that goes back to Chinese poetry. In the Japanese tradition, the theme occurs in the MY, as well as the KKS. KKS 7 (poet unknown) is particularly close to Mitsune's poem.
