| One night with a full moon, while he was wandering in the field of autumn flowers, he heard an excellent performance of the koto (a long Japanese zither with thirteen strings) by an old man around eighty years old that echoed to the high buildings. |
或る名月の夜、秋草の中をさまよううちに、八十歳ほどの老人の奏でる琴の名演奏が高楼に響くのが聞こえた。 |
