A poem collected in the Hyakunin Isshu (A Hundred Waka Poems) is well known as a love poem: 'The bitterness of your cold attitude makes me pain and cry; my sleeves, which are wet with tears and never dry themselves, remain without decaying as they are; but my reputation is down by superficial gossip about this romance; how frustrating!'
百人一首に収められた、「恨みわびほさぬ袖だにあるものを恋にくちなん名こそ惜しけれ」は恋歌として名高い。
