flowers blossoming
in autumn fields-
when I count them on my fingers
they then number seven
秋の野に咲きたる花を
指および折りかき数ふれば七種ななくさの花

-Yamanoue-no-Okura (山上憶良 660–733).
Man'yōshū (万葉集), poem 1537.

bush clover blooms,
silver grass and kudzu,
pinks,
valerian
and fujibakama,
morning glory blooms.
萩の花尾花葛花くずはな撫子の花
女郎花をみなへしまた藤袴ふぢはかま朝顔の花

-Yamanoue-no-Okura (山上憶良).
Man'yōshū (万葉集) poem 1538.
