When he was asked to compose a thousand-poem sequence by someone, he composed this as a poem on blossom.
み吉野の花の盛をけふ見ればこしの白根に春風ぞ吹く
| miyosino no Fana no sakari wo keFu mireba kosi no sirane ni Faru kaze zo Fuku |
In fair Yoshino The blossoms’ bounty I see today, so In Koshi on Shirane peak The spring breezes will be blowing. |
Master of the Dowager Empress’ Household Office [Fujiwara no] Toshinari
