Poem by Ariwara no Narihira Ason - Terrific autumn scene of travelers making their way over an arched bridge above a swiftly flowing river. Colorful red maple leaves float along the current, creating a beautiful contrast to the blue water. The poem by the ninth-century poet and courtier Ariwara no Narihira Ason reads:

I have never heard
That, e'en when the gods held sway
In the ancient days,
E'er was water bound with red
Such as here in Tatta's stream.
