His verses in 'Gosen Wakashu' (the Later Collection of Japanese Poetry) and 'Yamato Monogatari' (the Tale of Yamato) are those of zotoka (poetic correspondence with the beloved), which he exchanged with many lady poets, including Imperial Princess Gashi (daughter of Emperor Daigo who became Saigu or Consecrated Princess of Ise). 和歌では、「後撰和歌集」や「大和物語」などに、雅子内親王(醍醐天皇皇女、斎宮)ほか多くの女流歌人との贈答歌が残されている。 |
