Text: Catching fish to brew wine, to be offered to the bearded Su.

Motif: Zheng Yunduan's Red Cliffs Painting
This is a poem inspired by Su Dongpo's Ode to the Red Cliffs, composed by a lone figure on a boat. It features Zheng Yunduan, one of the two greatest female poets in Chinese history, a subject rarely known in Japan, which astounds with Okuni Toshirou's profound erudition.

Lao Man, with heroic gaze, sought to swallow Wu,
A million ships, reduced to ashes by a single blaze.
What remains are the clear wind and bright moon,
Catching fish to brew wine, to be offered to the bearded Su.

Lao Man (Lao Man): Cao Cao (a playful, exaggerated name)
Heroic gaze: To survey with the eyes of a hero
Ships (Lou Sen): The great fleet at the Red Cliffs
A single blaze (Yikyo): A single fire (fire attack)
Reduced to ashes (Karu): Burned to nothing
What remains (Ryudoku): What can be left / remains
Clear wind and bright moon (Seifu Meigetsu): Core vocabulary from the Ode to the Red Cliffs
Catching fish (Amio): To catch fish (life of reclusion)
Brew wine (Boshu): To procure wine
To be offered (Fu): To entrust / to offer
Bearded Su (Zenso): Su Dongpo with a rich beard (elegant title)

Overall meaning of the poem:
Even after the battle of the Red Cliffs of old, the clear wind and bright moon remain here. Now, I catch fish, drink wine, and remember Su Dongpo.
