The Left appears charming, but might have been slightly improved had it been composed about pleasure boating on the Ōi. As for the Right, it is erroneous to specify the shallow rapids as a place where scarlet leave are not reflected. Taken as a whole it is inferior.

Only the date of this contest remains, along with two of its poems. Given the season, it would clearly have been an autumn-themed event and, as the 15th day of the Eighth Month was when conventionally the moon was at its brightest, it is not surprising that it seems to have been held at night, and contained at least some poems where the moon was a theme.
Of the two surviving poems, one was included in Fubokushō (XIV: 5840), while the other is only recorded here.

One spring, when there had been many fires in the houses of people in the world, a woman sent me a yam:
この春はめづらしげなき燒けどころつれなき人はいかゞ見るらむ
| kono Faru Fa medurasigenaki yakedokoro turenaki Fito Fa ikaga miruramu |
This spring Not uncommon are Roast yams and burnt out homes: A heartless man, What might he think of them? |
