Iroha

いろはにほへと
ちりぬるを
わかよたれそ
つねならむ
うゐのおくやま
けふこえて
あさきゆめみし
ゑひもせす

Iroha is a perfect 仮名 pangram from the 平安 era including all 47 classical 仮名 (ゑ and ゐ being disused in modern Japanese).

Like bright flowers which inevitably fall:
Who can remain unchanged in our world?
Today let’s surpass the high mountain of impermanence,
and end the shallow dreams, end the intoxication.
