Headnote: "Composed on a scene of people playing the koto at the foot of Mount Nagata in Bitchū Province, painted on the folding screen of the Suki side for the Great Thanksgiving Festival of the fifth year of Chōwa, in the reign of Emperor Go-Ichijō"
Composed on a scene painted on the folding screen of the Suki side at the Great Thanksgiving Festival of 1016, in the reign of Emperor Go-Ichijō, showing people playing the koto at the foot of Mount Nagata in Bitchū. "A thousand ages" and only that, the same thing it seems to play, he says, the wind in the pines on the peak of Mount Nagata. Likening the sound of the wind through the pines on the peak to the music of the koto, and saying that its melody repeats its blessing of a thousand ages, the poem celebrates the endurance of the new emperor's reign. The Great Thanksgiving Festival is the first harvest festival held by an emperor after his accession; two provinces, Yuki and Suki, were chosen, and poems weaving in their place names were offered.
The author, "Yoshishige no Tamemasa," whose name is also written with other characters, was a man of letters of the mid-Heian period who excelled in Chinese verse and prose and presented poems for the Great Thanksgiving Festival.
From this poem to 640, the last poem of the book, come poems for the Great Thanksgiving Festival, arranged in chronological order from 1016 to 1184.

First line, "chiyo to nomi": "only 'a thousand ages.'"
Second line, "onaji koto o zo": "koto" combines "the same thing" and "koto," the zither to which the pine wind is likened. The emphatic "zo" closes with the attributive "naru" in the third line.
Third line, "shirabu naru": "shirabu" is to play an instrument, and "naru," the attributive of "nari," expresses inference from sound, closing the "zo" of the second line, "it seems to be playing." The poem pauses here, in inverted order.
Fourth line, "Nagata no yama no": Mount Nagata is in Bitchū, weaving in a place name of the Suki province. The "naga," "long," of the name accords with the length of the reign.
Fifth line, "mine no matsukaze": ending on a noun, it places the subject of the third line at the end.
