Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Arriving at Karadomari in Shima District, Chikuzen Province, the ship lay at anchor for three days. The light of the night moon shone bright and flowing. Facing this splendor, our traveling hearts were choked with sorrow, and each expressed his feelings in six poems"
A descriptive poem: under the bright moon, the fishermen's fires are seen burning side by side without a gap. It captures the beautiful night scene at Karadomari, where the moonlight in the sky and the fishing fires on the sea shine upon each other, above and below. The beauty of the moonlight mentioned in the headnote is drawn through its pairing with the fishing fires.
According to the headnote, this is one of six poems composed while the ship lay at anchor for three days at Karadomari in Shima District, Chikuzen Province, when the night moon shone bright and the travelers, facing its beauty, were choked with traveling sorrow and each expressed his feelings. Karadomari is thought to be near Miyaura in present-day Nishi Ward, Fukuoka, a harbor before leaving Tsukushi for the open sea. This poem has no left note, and the author is not named.
