Lot Twenty: Great Fortune / Lot Thirty: Great Fortune

Woodcut illustration on the right page depicting a willow tree and a figure in a landscape, associated with the poem.

The willow meets the time of spring,
Remaining blossoms bloom on the old branches.
Within layers upon layers of frost and snow,
The golden color shines even brighter.

(Waka Poem)
As the spring breeze blows,
The willow branches sway,
How yellow the color of the flowers appears.

Woodcut illustration on the left page depicting a mountainous landscape with a figure, associated with the poem.

Holding the sun in your hand, you make it shine,
The Lord of the East The deity of Spring brings forth life on old branches.
The rice seedlings are just about to show their heads,
You shall ascend the fork in the clouds even further.

(Waka Poem)
As the autumn breeze blows,
The crops in the field,
Ripen into an abundant harvest.
