Leaving Mount Haguro on the following day, I came to the castle town called Tsuru-ga-oka, where I was received warmly by Nagayama Shigeyuki, a warrior, and composed a book of linked verse with him and Zushi Sakichi who had accompanied me all the way from Mount Haguro. Bidding them farewell, I again descended the River Mogami in a boat and arrived at the port of Sakata, where I was entertained by the physician named En'an Fugyoku.

I enjoyed the evening cool
Along the windy beach of Fukuura,
Behind me, Mount Atsumi
Still in the hot sun.

The River Mogami has drowned
Far and deep
Beneath its surging waves
The flaming sun of summer.
