After the death of the Kawara Minister of the Left (Minamoto no Tōru), Tsurayuki went to his house and, seeing a recreation of a place called Shiogama, he composed this:
君まさで煙たえにししほがまの浦さびしくも見え渡るかな
| kimi masade keburi taenisi siFogama no ura sabisiku mo miewataru kana |
You are gone As has the smoke From Shiogama; How lonely the shore now When I gaze across it. |
Tsurayuki
