Translation

KKS XVII: 923 [Composed] when [a group had gathered near Nunohiki Falls to compose poetry.] –[Ariwara no] Narihira. Surely someone is / plucking these white jewels from / their string for they fall / without a moment’s pause to / overflow my narrow sleeves (Rodd 2017, p. 315).

KKS XVII: 923 [Composed] when [people had gathered below Nunohiki Falls and were composing poems. Plucking them apart to glimpse their disarray:] -Narihira. / There must be someone there! / White jewelets / Scattering without a halt, / And my sleeve too narrow!
