Commentary: 32 The Promise to View Autumn Leaves

On the evening of their exchange on the frosty morning, the prince came and invited her: "How lovely the autumn leaves on the mountains must be now. Come, let us go and see them," and Izumi Shikibu replied, "That would be delightful." But when the day came, the prince sent word: "Today I must stay shut in for a day of abstinence, which is a great pity. Once it is over, without fail." That night the winter showers fell harder than usual, with a sound as though every leaf on the trees would be stripped away. Waking, Izumi Shikibu murmured to herself, "before the wind," and spent the rest of the night regretting that the leaves must all have fallen and wishing they had gone to see them the day before.
The woman is Izumi Shikibu, daughter of Ōe no Masamune and, as the wife of Tachibana no Michisada, Governor of Izumi, mother of Koshikibu no Naishi. The Prince of the Dazaifu is Prince Atsumichi, fourth son of Emperor Reizei, so called because he served as Governor-General of the Dazaifu. A day of abstinence was a period of staying shut indoors and keeping oneself pure in order to avoid misfortune, according to the art of yin and yang.
Having answered her "Momijiba wa yowa no shigure ni araji kashi kinō yamabe o mitaramashikaba" with "Soyo ya soyo nado te yamabe o mizariken kesa wa kuyuredo nan no kai nashi," the prince added this poem in its margin.
Izumi Shikibu replied with "Utsurowanu tokiwa no yama mo momiji seba isa kashi yukite nodonodo to mimu," adding, "It would be a foolish errand."

The opening lines mean "though I think none can remain," where "arashi" means both "there will be none" and the "storm" that strips the leaves, answering her "surely not one remains," with an adversative connective.
The remaining lines mean "whether any leaves remain unscattered, come, let us go and see," with an interrogative particle, a word of invitation and an auxiliary of will. Not content merely to regret, he invites her again, since some leaves might yet remain, showing his eagerness to keep his promise after all.
