- - - Station 38 - Daishoji 大聖寺 (Daishooji) - - -
I stopped overnight at the Zenshoji Temple 全昌寺 near the castle of Daishoji 大聖寺, still in the province of Kaga. Sora, too, had stayed here the night before and left behind the following poem:
All night long
I listened to the autumn wind
Howling on the hill
At the back of the temple.
Sora and I were separated by the distance of a single night, but it was just the same as being separated by a thousand miles. I, too, went to bed amidst the howling of the autumn wind and woke up early the next morning amid the chanting of the priests, which was soon followed by the noise of the gong calling us to breakfast. As I was anxious to cross over to the province of Echizen in the course of the day, I left the temple without lingering, but when I reached the foot of the long approach to the temple, a young priest came running down the steps with a brush and ink and asked me to leave a poem behind. As I happened to notice some leaves of willow scattered in the garden, I wrote impromptu,
I hope to have gathered
To repay your kindness
The willow leaves
Scattered in the garden.
and left the temple without even taking time to refasten my straw sandals.
Hiring a boat at the port of Yoshizaki on the border of the province of Echizen, I went to see the famous pine of Shiogoshi. The entire beauty of this place, I thought, was best expressed in the following poem by Saigyo.
Inviting the wind to carry
Salt waves of the sea,
The pine tree of Shiogoshi
Trickles all night long
Shiny drops of moonlight.
Should anyone ever dare to write another poem on this pine tree it would be like trying to add a sixth finger to his hand.

全昌寺 Daisho-Ji
大聖持の城外、全昌寺といふ寺にとまる。猶加賀の地也。曾良も前の夜此寺に泊て、
終宵秋風聞やうらの山
と残す。一夜の隔、千里に同じ。吾も秋風を聞て衆寮に臥ば、明ぼのゝ空近う読経 声すむまゝに、鐘板鳴て食堂に入。けふは越前の国へと心早卒にして、堂下に下るを若き僧ども紙硯をかゝえ、階のもとまで追来る。折節庭中の柳散れば、
庭掃て出るや寺に散柳 - niwa haite
とりあへぬさまして草鞋ながら書捨つ。
汐越の松 Shiokoshi no Matsu - Shiogoshi no Matsu / Shiokoshi
越前の境、吉崎の入江を舟に棹して汐越の松を尋ぬ。
終宵嵐に波をはこばせて
月をたれたる汐越の松 西行 (Saigyo)
此一首にて数景尽たり。もし一辧を加るものは、無用の指を立るがごとし。

before departing: in the temple,
falling willow leaves
