After the fire, there was a satirical poem posted around the city, which read: "Looking around, I see how even the city of Kyoto was turned into countryside./A spring even-fall visits our temporary abode made of reed" ("Genroku Hoei Chinwa" (Comical Stories from the Eras of Genroku and Hoei)). 火災後、「見渡せば京も田舎となりにけり芦の仮屋の春の夕暮」と書かれた落首が市中に貼られた(『元禄宝永珍話』)。 |
