| 解釈 |
The new year, according to the lunar calendar, generally begins in solar February or March. Thus the first signs of spring, or the solar-calendar first day of spring, sometimes occurred before the first day of the First Lunar Month. This poem is a good example of the disingenuous reasoning that often appears in Kokinshu~ waka. Masaoka Shiki 正岡子規 (1867-1902), who glorified the Man'yo~shu~ style, cited it as an example of "mere grinding awaay at logic" (rikutsu o koneta dake 理屈をこねただけ) in "Essay on Reading Poetry" (Utayomi ni atauru sho 歌読みに与ふる書).
