Commentary: Book Four Autumn Poems I 232

Headnote: "Composed on the topic 'Autumn Begins at the Shrine'"
Composed on the topic "Autumn Begins at the Shrine." From this first day of autumn, the wind in the pines of the Sacred Mountain of the Kamo Shrine pierces the poet with its sound, though the green of the pines has not changed at all. Within the evergreen pine, something that never changes, he hears autumn's arrival through sound alone.
The author, "Kamo no Shigemasa," was the son of Kamo no Shigeyasu, chief priest of the Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine. He himself later became chief priest of the shrine and took part in poetry contests such as the one at the house of Fujiwara no Tsunefusa.
The Sacred Mountain, Kamiyama, lies north of the Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine and is revered as the mountain where the deity descended. A poet of the shrine's priestly family here sings of his own shrine's mountain.

First line, "Kamiyama no": Kamiyama is the sacred mountain of the Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine, expressing "at the shrine" in the headnote.
Second line, "matsu fuku kaze mo": "mo," "even," naming the evergreen pine to show that autumn reaches even what does not change.
Third line, "kyō yori wa": "from today," the first day of autumn.
Fourth line, "iro wa kawarade": the negative conjunctive "de" gives "without the color changing." "Iro koso kaene sabishikarikeri" in 273 of this book also feels autumn in evergreens whose color does not change, sharing this poem's conceit.
Fifth line, "oto zo mi ni shimu": "zo" closes with the attributive "shimu." Setting sound against color, it contrasts what is unchanged to the eye with autumn piercing the ear. "Mazu mi ni shimu wa" in the next poem, 233, also speaks of being pierced.
