It is also stated in "Gonki" (FUJIWARA no Yukinari's diary) that Atsuakira's face was not a face deserved for an emperor saying that he was not familiar with physiognomy when he heard about Atsuakira's refusal to remain crown prince (article written on September 6, 1017).
また、藤原行成の『権記』にも皇太子辞退の報を受けて、顔相に詳しくないと前置きしながら「無龍顔」（天皇の相ではなかった）と述べている（寛仁元年8月8日条）。
