Commentary: Book Seventeen Miscellaneous Poems II 1099

Headnote: "Reply"
This is Fujiwara no Kintō's reply to the preceding poem, 1098. Each time the valley wind pierced me, I thought of the old home and you beneath its trees, he says. To his son Sadayori, who had thought of the storm in the valley, he answers that he too, each time the valley wind pierced him, had thought of the house and the son he left in the capital. By letting "konomoto," beneath the trees, also mean "ko no moto," with my child, he lets the affection of father and son, each thinking of the other, pass between them.
The author, "Former Major Counselor Kintō," is Fujiwara no Kintō. A son of the regent Fujiwara no Yoritada, he rose to major counselor. Excelling in waka, Chinese verse and music alike, he compiled the Wakan Rōeishū. In his later years he took the tonsure and lived in retirement at Nagatani.
As the reply to the preceding poem, 1098, it takes up its words, answering "the storm in the valley" with "the valley wind," "furusato no" with "furusato no," and "omoi koso yare" with "omoiyaritsure." It also shares "konomoto" with 1105 and 1106 of this book, which are likewise an exchange between parent and child.

First line, "tanikaze no": "the wind of the valley," blowing through the valley of Nagatani. It answers "tani no arashi o" in the fourth line of the preceding poem, 1098.
Second line, "mi ni shimu goto ni": "each time it pierced me."
Third line, "furusato no": "of the old home in the capital," the same phrase as "furusato no" in the first line of the preceding poem, 1098.
Fourth line, "konomoto o koso": "konomoto" is a pivot word joining "ko no moto," beneath the trees, and "ko no moto," with my child, pointing to the old house and to his son Sadayori. "Koso" is an emphatic binding particle closing with "tsure" in the fifth line. It is the same word as "konomoto ni" in the first line of 1105 and "konomoto wa" in the first line of 1106 of this book.
Fifth line, "omoiyaritsure": "tsure" is the realis of the perfective "tsu," closing the binding. It echoes "omoi koso yare" in the fifth line of the preceding poem.
