Kore'eda's new film

[Lewis Cook]

Ordinarily, the graphs glossed "meizan" in the waka below would be  
read "nagori." Is there an exception that applies here, I wonder?
"naho" is emphatic in the context - roughly, the phrase "yori mo nao"  
means 'even [or yet] more than [the winds that scatter [entice] the  
blossoms...]
