Fun'ya no Yasuhide
Fuku kara ni
Aki no kusaki no
Shiorureba
Mube yama kaze o
Arashi to iuran
Fun'ya no Yasuhide
It is by its breath
That autumn's leaves of trees and grass
Are wasted and driven.
So they call this mountain wind
The wild one, the destroyer.

kanji-symbol "嵐"(storm) is made up from the element for "山"(mountain) and "風"(wind).

Thank you Nobu for being my dear friend,

the mountain wind the destroyer - this is a very expressive tanka.
I love saying these words in Japanese, it is art for my tongue.
