He composed this, thinking of when his father Lord Yoshifumi had was in Tamazushima and composed:
和歌の浦に名をとどめけるゆゑあらば道しるべせよ玉津島姫 waka no ura ni / na o todomekeru / yue araba / michishirube seyo / tamazushima-hime ‘Upon the Bay of Waka / To leave my name— / If only there was a way, then / I would have you guide me, / O Princess of Tamazushima!’
尋行く和歌のうら路のはま千鳥跡ある方に道しるべせよ
tazuneyuku waka no uraji no hamachidori ato aru kata ni michishirube seyo
Coming to pay a visit To the ways of Waka Bay, O, plovers on the beach, How to follow in your footsteps I would have you guide me!
