Hyakunin Isshu No.85 of Yoga Promenade
The poet is Shun’e Hoshi. Hoshi means he was a priest. Shun’e is his name as a priest. He is a son of Minamoto-no Toshiyori, the poet No.74, and grandson of the poet No.71, Minamoto-no Tsunenobu. There are many parent-child pairs in the list, but there is only one three-generation group.
This poem depicts a woman waiting for her lover to visit. As she waits for her lover’s visit, the dawn does not come. The gap in the wall visible from her bed looks dark and cold, like the coldness of her lover.
