1-14 description of Tachi-yama; 15-28 its beauty and majesty; 29 to end
its effect upon the beholder.
1 m. k. of _sogahi_ (see glossary)--_so-gahi ni miyuru_, seen from back
(of house or _tachi_ of Ikenushi?). The m. k. is used in reference to
the dazzling brightness of the morning sun necessitating one’s turning
(_kahi_) one’s back (_so_) to it. I am not, however, satisfied with
this explanation.
For _asahisashi_, _shirakumono_, _tamakiharu_, _kumowinasu_,
_tatsukirino_ see List m. k.
