I gaze—
Presented one hundred poems on the theme of spring.
I gaze— today will someday be in the past you never forget me you the plum blossom on the eaves
Princess Shokushi

I love Princess Shokushi’s poems. She was born as the daughter of Emperor Goshirakawa. During her youth, from ages 10 to 20, she resided at a segregated shrine, where she devoted herself to prayer. It was customary for a girl from the imperial family to be dedicated to such a life during that era. After this period of service, she reintegrated into society and flourished, showcasing her talent in poetry. Despite a hint of loneliness, her originality shines through in the intricate details of her work.
