Poetry example
Some believe him to have been Prince Yamashiro no Ōe.
The following waka is attributed to him, a classic autumn poem: • Japanese — Rōmaji — English translation • 奥山に 紅葉踏みわけ 鳴く鹿の 声きく時ぞ 秋はかなしき — Okuyama ni Momiji fumiwake Naku shika no Koe kiku toki zo Aki wa kanashiki — Autumn at its saddest— Rustling through the leaves: and moving on alone: deep into the mountains, I hear a lonely stag belling for his doe. This poem is the 215th poem of the Kokin Wakashū, and was also incorporated into Fujiwara no Teika's famous Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, as number 5.
