Commentary: Book Ten Poems of Celebration 628

Headnote: "Composed on the topic 'Facing the Pine, Vying in Years' at the first gathering at the Kan'in residence"
Composed on the topic "Facing the pine, vying in years" at the first poetry gathering held at the Kan'in residence. I have transplanted the little pine from the peak that lives a thousand years, he says, and shall regard it as my friend for ten thousand ages. Planting in his garden the pine with its thousand-year life, and vowing to spend ten thousand ages with it as though vying with it in age, the poem celebrates the long life of the master of the house. The Kan'in was a famous mansion of the capital, also used as a temporary imperial palace.
The author, "the Lay Priest and Former Chancellor and Grand Minister," is Fujiwara no Motofusa. The son of the Hosshōji Lay Priest and Former Chancellor Fujiwara no Tadamichi, he served in turn as Regent, Chancellor and Grand Minister and was called the Matsu Lord. Exiled in the coup of 1179, he took the tonsure.
The next poem, 629, comes from the same gathering. Where this poem regards the pine as a friend, the next says that the pine will rely on my lord's shade, answering by exchanging the places of master and pine.

First line, "chitose furu": "which lives a thousand years," the long life of the pine.
Second line, "onoe no komatsu": "onoe" means the top of a mountain peak.
Third line, "utsushiuete": a line with an extra syllable, "transplanting" the little pine from the peak to the garden of the residence.
Fourth line, "yorozuyo made no": "until ten thousand ages," a span longer still than the pine's "thousand years" in the first line. It answers "yorozuyo mo" in the first line of the next poem.
Fifth line, "tomo to koso mime": the emphatic "koso" closes with "me," the perfective of the volitional "mu," "I shall view it as a friend." The topic's "vying in years" is rendered as a friend who competes with the pine in age.
