Hyakunin Isshu No.41 of Yoga Promenade

The poet is Mibu-no Tadami. He is a son of poet No.30 Mibu-no-tadamine.

 

This poem tells of a man who is rumored to be in love even though he just felt love. Tadami composed this poem at a poetry competition in front of the emperor. His opponent, Taira-no Kanemori, replied with the poem No.40. There is a legend that Tadami died after losing this battle, but this is an unreliable rumor.
