Headnote: "Ōtomo no Sadehiko, by special imperial command, went as envoy to a foreign land"
The poem tells that ever since Matsura Sayohime waved her scarf in longing for her husband, the mountain has borne the name of the scarf-waving. Following the legend in the headnote, it relates the origin of the mountain's name and forms the base of the sequence.
The headnote tells how Ōtomo no Sadehiko, sent by imperial command as an envoy to a land across the sea, set sail; his wife, Matsura Sayohime, lamenting that parting is easy and meeting hard, climbed a high peak, gazed after the departing ship, and at last took off her scarf and waved it. None who stood by could hold back their tears, and so the mountain came to be called the Peak of the Waving Scarf. It is identified with Mount Kagami in Karatsu. Opinions differ on the authorship of this sequence, some attributing it to Ōtomo no Tabito and others to Yamanoue no Okura, and no view is settled.

First line, "tōtsuhito": a pillow word for Matsura, from the sense of waiting ("matsu") for one far away.
Second line, "Matsura Sayohime": names the heroine of the legend.
Third line, "tsumagoi ni": "longing for her husband."
Fourth line, "hire furishi yori": "since she waved her scarf," marking the origin of the name.
Fifth line, "oeru yama no na": "the name the mountain bears," closing on a noun. The response poems that follow take up this "mountain's name."
