Analysis
As you can see below, this poem appears in the Sarumaru collection and is listed under Sarumaru's name in several other sources (such as Shunzei's poetry competition and Kinto's "36 poet selection"). Sarumaru is a shadowy figure about whom very little is known, even whether he actually existed or not. Katigiri notes 24 anonymous KKS poems that are also found in the Sarumaru Collection. His conclusion is that the KKS and the Sarumaru Collection both drew from traditional songs.
