SKKS XIX: 1882

From a hundred poem sequence composed at the house of the Lay-Priest and former Regent.

神風やいすゞのかはの宮ばしらいくちよすめとたちはじめけん

kami kaze ya
isuzu no kawa no
miyabashira
iku chi yo sume to
tachihajimeken
Is it the Gods’ own wind?
By the river Isuzu
The shrine pillars-gods all-
Will stand for many thousand years-
Starting to stir the waters?

Master of the Dowager Empress’ Household Office Toshinari
藤原俊成

SKKS VII: 730

Composed in the Second year of Jōryaku (1079) at the Palace poetry competition, on the spirit of Felicitation.

君がよはひさしかるべしわたらひやいすゞのかはのながれたえせで

kimi ga yo wa
hisashikarubeshi
watarai ya
isuzu no kawa no
nagare taesede
My Lord’s reign
Will last eternally, I’m sure; as
At Watarai
The Isuzu River
Flows on, unceasing.

Former Middle Councillor [Ōe no] Masafusa
