Hashimoto City Area, Areas Associated with the Manyo Poems
The Kinokawa river flow spreads wide as you cross the Mt. Matsuchiyama. The riverbank here is called Sumidagawara. There is a place in Hashimoto City called Suda, but the kanji character can also be read as “sumi”, so the place was presumably called “Sumida” in the Manyoshu era. There is the Suda-hachiman shrine nearby which is known for its ancient copper mirror called the “Sudahachiman-gu Jinbutsugazoukyou”.
Matsuchiyama yukoe ikite Iosaki no Sumidagawara ni hitori kamo nemu In the evening, I will go over Mt. Matsuchiyama, and will sleep alone in Ihosaki’s Sumidagawara. |

Sumidagawara(Sumida town, Hashimoto city)
The flow of the Kinokawa river spreads wide as you cross the Mt. Matsuchiyama. This riverbank is called Sumidagawara. There is a place in Hashimoto City called Suda, but the kanji character can also be read “sumi”, so the place was presumably called “Sumida” in the Manyoshu era. There is the Sudahachiman shrine nearby (refer to Spot no.4) which is known for its ancient copper mirror called “Sudahachiman jinja Jinbutsugazoukyou”.
大意Will I be sleeping on the riverbank of Sumida in Ihosaki all alone after I’ve gone across the Mt. Matsuchi this evening?
