SKKS XVII: 1646

When Retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa was at the Seika-ji, Sada’ie went as the messenger accompanying the tribute-horses.

さがの山ちよのふるみちあとゝめてまたつゆわくるもち月のこま

saga no yama
chi yo no furu michi
ato tomete
mata tsuyu wakuru
mochizuki no koma
On the mount of Saga
For a thousand generations the ancient ways
Have left their mark,
Once more forging through the dew comes
A mount from Mochizuki.

Sada’ie
定家
