発祥 (柘植元一):

Hana sandai ('Three Bouquets') is a rather modern vocal piece composed in 1935. The composer chose three waka poems from Book Ten of the Kokin waka shu, a tenth century anthology of poems. Each of them contains a play on the word of the flower to which it is dedicated: namely Sobi (sauhi), 'rose,' kichiko, 'bellflower,' and shiwoni 'aster.'

詩 (【翻訳者】柘植元一)

Rose

On this morn
For the first time
Did I see such a color.
What a bewitching thing,
The rose.

Bellflower

Fall closes
On the fields.
Leaves of the bellflower
In white dew
Are changing color.

Aster

To see the asters
Of my old haunts
Did I return -
But the fragrance
Was already gone.
