SKKS IV: 322

When he composed a hundred-poem sequence at his home.

いかばかり身にしみぬらんたなばたのつまゝつよゐのあまの河風

ika bakari
mi ni shiminuran
tanabata no
tsuma matsu yoi no
ama no kawa kaze
How deeply does
It pierce her breast, I wonder
The Weaver Maid
Awaits her man tonight
In the breeze off Heaven’s River.

The Lay Priest and Former Chancellor and Grand Minister [Fujiwara no Kanezane]
