Tanka ... Thoroughwort 藤袴

楚々として 水際に咲くる 藤袴 おくれ来し者 けふに見(まみ)ゆる

thoroughwort

blooming graceful at the  edge

of the pond

who has come late

meets it, today

※
藤袴(フジバカマ)は秋の七草の一つです。 萩、朝顔、女郎花、尾花、女郎花、藤袴、撫子、葛が秋の七草です。
藤袴以外は、よく見て判っていましたが、藤袴については、どこかで見てはいたにちがいないが、それが藤袴だとは分かっていませんでした。
そして、漸く宮沢賢治のイーハトーブ園で認識できたのでした。
尚、藤袴は環境省の準絶滅危惧種に指定されています。 According to Manyoshu , which is the oldest Waka/ Tanka anthology in Japan and whose publishing was estimated after A.D. 759, thorouhwort is one of the seven autumn flowers : bush clover, morning glory, pampas grass,patrinia scabiosaefolia, thoroughwort, pink and arrowroot(kudzu). Except thoroughwort, I have recognized them. Recently, I was eager to see and know thoroughwort. I think I must have seen it somewhere before but I have not recognized it. Finally, I could do thoroughwort at Ihatov Garden of Kenji Miyazawa in Hanamaki City, Iwate, Japan.
Now, thoroughwort is being designated as a near-threatened speciesby Ministry of the Environment.

I have seen the flower
from way back
each weed has its own name
but I don't know…
from my ignorance

How about this from Rika Inami.

on my way back

not knowing the flower

I hear

it singing ...

each weed must have its own name

Tanka...Today 今日

せつせつと 生きるるだけ生く 今日一日 湖水おだやかに 日輪うつし

intently

I live today all day

as long as I can

water surface in peace

mirrors the sunburst

life without intent
every second of magic ,

*****
sunlight
twinkles on the waves
serenity

the forest is submerged
in darkness
sun floats
on the surface
…dilute impurity with stagnated water
