Other Sources

  • 万葉集3961. 白浪乃(シラナミノ) 余須流伊蘇末乎(ヨスルイソマヲ) 榜船乃(コグフネノ) 可治登流間奈久(カヂトルマナク) 於母保要之伎美(オモホエシキミ). The poem is one of two attributed to 大伴家持, at a party for one of his relatives 大友池主 (perhaps the similarity in the names led to the misattribution to 黒主). According to a side note, Ikenushi was heading back to a provincial post. Snow began to fall and he also saw the white waves around fisherboats on the waves. This apparently is what sparked the use of the preface in the poem.
