However, Onami seemed to worry about the political situation, and his life style was not easy, for it was stated in the records that he visited the Inryoken Household of Sokoku-ji Temple in 1466 and forcefully performed a short song accompanied with shamisen and komai (short dances in Noh farce).
とはいえ政情の不安もあり、暮らし向きはそれほど楽でなかったようで、文正元年（1466年）には相国寺の蔭涼軒を訪ね、押し売り同然に小歌・小舞を披露したことが記録に残っている。
