When he had gone to Michinoku as Governor, on seeing that one of the pines at Takekuma had withered, had a sapling planted to replace it; on returning to the same province later, after finishing his posting, he saw the tree he had planted once more.

栽ゑし時契りやしけんたけくまの松をふたたびあひみつるかな

uwesi toki tigiri ya siken takekuma no matu wo Futatabi aFimituru kana

When I planted you, Did I make a vow, perhaps? That Takekuma’s Pine once more I would encounter!’
