Four immortal poets

6 Ōtomo no Yakamochi 中納言家持
鵲の わたせるはしに  おく霧の しろきをみれば 夜ぞふけにける

If I see that bridge
That is spanned by flights of magpies
Across the arc of heaven
Made white with a deep-laid frost,
Then the night is almost past.
Format : 21.5x31cm
20 Motoyoshi Shinno 元良親王
わびぬれば 今はたおなじ なにはなる 身をつくしても あハむとぞ思う

In this dire distress
My life is meaningless.
So we must meet now,
Even though it costs my life
In the Bay of Naniwa.
Format : 21.5x31cm
49 Onakatomi no Yoshinobu Ason 大中臣能宣朝臣
Format : 17x25cm
みかき守 衛士のたく火の 夜はもえ 昼は消えつつ 物をこそおもへ

Like the guard's fires
Kept at the imperial gateway
Burning through the night,
Dull in ashes through the day
Is the love aglow in me.
50 Fujiwara no Yoshitaka 藤原義孝
