When Akinaka, Head of the Department of Shintō, held a poetry match at Hirota, he composed this as a plea to the god on the topic of ‘Personal Grievances and the Moon’.  

なにはえのあしまにやどる月みればわが身ひとつもしづまざりけり

naniwae no ashima ni yadoru tsuki mireba wagami hitotsu mo shizumazarikeri

When at Naniwa inlet, Between the reeds lodging The moon I see ‘Tis not my sorry self alone that Is downcast, I know!
