Here in Yamato there are hosts of mountains
but when I ascend heavenly Mount Kagu, so handsomely set and there behold my realm,
from the outspread land rises smoke from hearth on hearth,
from the open sea rise gull after white gull – o what a fair land is the dragonfly isle –
this blessed land of Yamato
Emperor Jomei. Man’yōshū Vol I. #2
