A poem inscribed in cursive script on a lacquerware box from when he was absorbed in compiling the Collection of a Thousand Years.
和歌の浦にちぢのたまもをかきつめて万世までも君がみんため
| waka no ura ni chiji no tamamo o kakitsumete yorozuyo made mo kimi ga min tame | In the Bay of Waka Countless gemweeds Have I raked together that For ten thousand generations My Lord may gaze upon them! |
Master of the Dowager Empress’ Household Office Toshinari
