Once when the New Retired Emperor [Sutoku] was there, he command that Tadamichi compose a poem on a prospect in the midst of snowfall, so he composed the following:
くれなゐにみえしこずゑも雪ふれば白木綿かくる神無備の森
| kurenawi ni miesi kozuwe mo yuki Fureba sira yuFu kakuru kaminabi no mori |
Scarlet hues Appeared on the treetops: Here with the falling snow White cords of mulberry cloth are hung In the forest of Kaminabi. |
The Chancellor and Former Grand Minister [Fujiwara no Tadamichi] (1097-1164)
