|Ibuki| |Mugwort|

|Mount Ibuki| is a |great mountain| that spans the |two provinces| of |Omi| and |Mino|. |Many medicinal herbs| grow there. Among them, mugwort is a specialty. It is even mentioned in |ancient poems|. Its |stalks| are thicker than mugwort from |other provinces|, and their length is like |hemp|. The |people| living at the foot of the mountain harvest it, pound it well, rub it out, and |sell| it as mugwort. Its whiteness is like |snow|.

The |mugwort| from |Shimejigahara| at the foot of |Mount Nikko| in |Shimotsuke| |Province| is also a specialty. This, too, is mentioned in |poetry|.

Just rely on the mugwort of Shimejigahara
As long as I am in this world


* "Shimejigahara" is Shimejigahara.
* "Just rely on the mugwort of Shimejigahara, as long as I am in this world"
Still rely on the mugwort of Shimejigahara, as long as I am in this world
