Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Reply"
The sixth of Jakunen's ten. From the sorrow of a carelessly thatched grass hut, dew settles on his sleeves in Ōhara.
The poor hut that cannot keep out rain and dew is laid over the dew of tears on his sleeves, the dew leaking through the thatch and the tears of sorrow becoming one. Like the moss mat of Saigyō's 1201, it sings of the humble dwellings of mountain villages.

Second line, “kusa no iori no”: of the grass-thatched hut.
