Ono no Komachi
In the "Kokinshū"'s Kanajo (Japanese Preface), Yasuhide is described as "Yasuhide used words skillfully, but his words do not match the content. His poetry is like a merchant dressed up in elegant clothes." Five of his poems are included in the "Kokinshū" and one of his poems is included in the "Goshūi wakashū". He was involved in a relationship with Ono no Komachi and it is even said that when he received his appointment to Mikawa, he invited her to go with him.
