- Nagisa Residence
- Near modern-day Osaka's Nagisahon-machi, on the Yodo river. According to the Ise monogatari this was a residence of Prince Koretaka.
- Did not exist at all
- A number of manuscripts of the KKS, as well as some versions of the poem in alternate sources, reads saka-zara-ba "did not bloom at all." Because this is it the version of the poem in Ki no Tsuyaruki's Tosa Diary, some scholars have suggested this is a better reading (on aesthetic grounds as well). But Katagiri notes that Tsurayuki's Shinsen waka reads "exist" instead of "bloom," so it's difficult to say on the current evidence which reading is the original one.
- The hearts of spring season
- The expression haru no kokoro may refer to the feelings of people towards (or in) spring, the nature of spring itself, or some combination of both.
