Commentary
Book Fifteen Poems of the Envoys to Silla 3646

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "In the sea off Saba we suddenly met a contrary wind and drifted on swelling waves. After a night had passed we happily found a fair wind and reached Wakuma Bay in Shimotsumike District, Buzen Province. Recalling the hardship with pain and sorrow, we composed eight poems"
The ship that had been rowed along the bays of the shore must, because of the fierce wind, lodge in a bay out at sea. It conveys the unease of being forced by contrary winds off the usual route that follows the bays close to land. Lodging far from shore presents as a concrete situation the lament of the preceding poem, "must I dwell out on the sea?"
According to the headnote, this is one of eight poems composed by the travelers recalling their ordeal: in the sea off Saba in Suō Province they suddenly met a contrary wind and drifted, and after a night found a fair wind and reached Wakuma Bay in Shimotsumike District, Buzen Province. The sea of Saba is thought to be off present-day Hōfu in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and Wakuma Bay near Nakatsu in Ōita Prefecture. Of the eight, only the first has its author named; the author of this poem is not named.

First line, "urami yori": "urami" is the curve of a bay: along the bays of the shore.
Second line, "kogikoshi fune o": "shi" is the attributive of the past "ki" and "o" adversative: though it was a ship rowed this far.
Third line, "kazahayami": "hayami" is the stem of "hayashi" with "mi," giving a cause: since the wind is fierce.
Fourth line, "okitsu miura ni": "okitsu" means of the offing and "mi" is an honorific prefix: in a bay out at sea.
Fifth line, "yadori suru kamo": "kamo" is exclamatory: so we lodge in an unexpected place. It is the same as the last line of 3644 of this book.
