"Chapter 7
The Freshness of Ariwara no Yukihira's
'Tachibakare' Poem (No. 16)" p.87-95

If I hear that you are waiting on the peak of Mount Inaba, where we parted, I will return now.
Kokin Wakashu, Volume 8, Parting Poems, 365 (Perhaps the opening poem)

Ariwara no Yukihira (818-893)
A poet and court noble of the early Heian period.
The second (or third) son of Prince Abo,
Danjō no Kami (Director of the Danjōdai, an honorary position given to royalty),
who was the first prince of Emperor Heizei.
Older brother of Ariwara no Narihira.
First appearance in the Kokinshu (four poems). One poem in the Shin Kokinshu.
Eleven poems included in imperial anthologies.

"There are no poems in the Manyoshu that mention Inaba Province.
It was not a place name that was typically incorporated into poems.
[The 'Tachibakare' poem] is its first appearance in an imperial anthology.
At the time of Yukihira's poem, it had not yet become a 'utamakura' (poetic pillow word/place)."
p.89 '1. Raising the Issue'

"Two kakekotoba (pivot words) are used,
and the nature of 'the pine growing on the peak of Mount Inaba'
and the human affairs of 'parting and leaving' and 'if I hear you are waiting, I will return now'
are beautifully fused, constructing a world that is truly 'Kokinshu'-esque."
p.92 '2. The Pillow-word-like 'Tachibakare'

"The 'Pine of Inaba' is represented by Teika's
Do not tell me you are waiting, hoping I will forget; rather, the autumn wind on the peak of Mount Inaba
Shin Kokin Wakashu, Volume 10, Travel Poems, 968
and is frequently composed in
'Sengohyakuban Uta-awase',
'Saishō Shitennō-in Waka',
and 'Kenpō Meisho Waka'
as poems that use Yukihira's poem as a 'honkadori' (allusive variation).
By this point, it had become so established (popular) that
mentioning 'Inaba' meant 'pine' would follow."
p.93 '3. 'Pine of Inaba' as a Pivot Word

"Yukihira's 'Tachibakare' poem
was an original poem even within the 'Kokinshu'.
The combination of 'Inaba' and 'pine'
had not been composed at all before that,
and because it became a huge hit as an allusive variation in the Shin Kokin era,
it is misunderstood as having been a poetic pillow word since ancient times,
but it was a new image of a poetic pillow word created by the attention given to Yukihira's poem.
Along with that popularity,
it was selected for the Hyakunin Isshu as Yukihira's representative work,
but now that freshness is difficult to understand."
