This fragment once belonged to a handscroll featuring the poetry of the entire anthology One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets. The underpainting in gold and silver by Tawaraya Sōtatsu describes the life cycle of the lotus—a plant associated with Buddhism. The two poems here are by Fujiwara no Akisuke (1090–1155) and Lady Horikawa (active late 12th century). Sakyō Dayū Akisuke 左京大夫顕輔Akikaze ni tanabiku kumo no taema yori more-izuru tsuki no kage no sayakesa The light of the moon,clear and radiant,pours through riftsin the clouds, buffetedby autumn breezes.Taikenmon’in Horikawa 待賢門院堀河Nagakaran kokoro mo shirazu kurokami no midarete kesa wa mono o koso omoe I have no idea how longhis love for me will last—as I recall this morningour affair, with my hairtangled as my emotions!—Trans.
