Hyakunin Isshu No.44 of Yoga Promenade
The poet is Chunagon Asatada. Chunagon is a position in the Imperial Court. His name is Fujiwara-no Asatada. He is a son of the poet No.25, Fujiwara-no Sadakata.
This poem was composed at the same competition as No.41 and No.42. The opponent is not selected in Hyakunin Isshu.
This is a poem about heartbreak. The author says that if he had never met the woman, he would not have held any grudges against either the woman or himself. There is some debate as to whether they used to have good relationship or not. Perhaps it may be the author's intention to invite such discussion.
