let me gaze on you in full bloom

Commentary: Book Six Autumn Poems II 274

Headnote: "At the maiden flower contest of the same reign."
The poet says that merely for picking a maiden flower, rumors have spread that he has trifled with a woman, so he may as well enjoy the flower to the full. Playing on the "woman" in the flower's name, it is a witty poem that shrugs off the rumors.
According to the headnote, it was composed at the maiden flower contest held in the same reign of Emperor Uda as the preceding poem. A maiden flower contest was an event in which two sides competed with maiden flowers and poems. From 274 to 276, three poems from the same maiden flower contest stand together.
The poet, written "Fujiwara Okikaze" in kana, is Fujiwara no Okikaze. A son of Fujiwara no Michinari, he served as secretary of Sagami among other posts. He also excelled at music and is counted among the Thirty-Six Immortal Poets. His "tare o ka mo shiru hito ni semu Takasago no" is included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.

In the first line, "kara ni" is a conjunctive particle meaning "as soon as": "merely for picking it."
In the second line, "na" means reputation or rumor: "my name has risen in rumor." "Nu" is the completive auxiliary, and the poem pauses here.
The third line, "ominaeshi," the maiden flower, is one of the seven flowers of autumn, likened to a woman because of the "woman" in its name. Many poems on the maiden flower follow in this book.
In the fourth line, "iza" is a word of invitation, and "onajiku wa" means "if it is all the same."
In the last line, "hanabana ni" means "showily, to the full," repeating "hana," flower. "Mu" is an auxiliary of intent: "let me gaze in full splendor."
