    "description": "Taira Tadanori (1144-1184), on his way to the battle at Ichinotani, slept under a cherry tree one night. The poem he composed that night, which later was found on his dead body, expressed no concern for battle or death but was a simple appreciation of nature at that moment. In van Bremen-Ito's translation:When twilight comesunder the shade of this treeI take up my dwelling;this night, only a flowerwill be my host.",
