Being in a place called Fushimi, someone composed this on the spirit of the place:
菅原や伏見の暮に見わたせば霞にまがふ小初瀬の山
| sugaFara ya Fusimi no kure ni miwataseba kasumi ni magaFu woFatuse no yama |
When from the sedge fields Of Fushimi at evening time I gaze across, A mere haze does seem The mount of Hatsuse! |

夕立はなごりも見えず晴にけりいづら小河の音ばかりして
| yūdachi wa nagori mo miezu harenikeri izura ogawa no oto bakarishite |
The evening shower Leaving no trace Has cleared; Where is the stream? Amidst the sound of trickling water… |

Right (Win).
初瀬山入日はさせど菅原や伏見の里は夕立の空
| hatsuseyama irihi wa sasedo sugawara ya fushimi no sato wa yūdachi no sora |
From Hatsuse Mountain The setting sun does shine, yet Above Sugawara and The estate of Fushimi Evening showers fill the sky. |
The Provisional Master of the Empress’ Household Office.

Neither Left nor Right has anything to say this round.
Shunzei simply says, ‘The Right’s “The estate of Fushimi evening showers fill the sky” is particularly fine. The Right must win.’
A man, who had been visiting a woman in the house of the Sugawara Minister of the Right [Michizane], broke off their relationship, then wrote to her again; she replied:
| sugaFara ya Fusimi no sato no aresi yori kayoFisi Fito no ato mo taeniki |
The Sugawara Estate of Fushimi Is all overgrown, and Of him who used to come here Every single trace has gone! |

Composed when he was ordered to produce a fifty poem sequence for Priest-Prince Shukaku.
あけぬるか衣手さむしすがはらやふしみのさとの秋のはつ風
| akenuru ka koromode samushi sugawara ya fushimi no sato no aki no hatsukaze |
Has it dawned? Oh, my sleeves are chill! In the village of Fushimi In Sugawara With the first breeze of autumn… |
