Kichitaro Negishi

Оно-но Комати входила в число «шести бессмертных» поэтов раннего периода Хэйан. Имя хэйанской поэтессы обросло многочисленными легендами, воспевавшими ее блистательный гений или восхитительную, таинственно неприступную красоту. Самое широкое хождение имели две легенды: одна – о бессмертии Комати, другая – о придворном по имени Фукакуса-но сёсё, который умер от неразделенной любви к красавице поэтессе. Согласно легенде, Оно-но Комати обещала ответить на его любовь, если он сто раз кряду проведет ночь в саду ее дома на скамеечке, на которую ставили оглобли ее кареты. Он приходил день за днем к назначенному месту, проводил там ночь и оставлял метку на скамейке. Так прошло 99 дней. В сотую ночь у Фукакуса умер отец и он не смог явиться к дому поэтессы. Комати послала ему язвительные стихи с отказом. Получив такое известие, Фукакуса умер от стыда и любовного томления. Эти предания легли в основу пьесы Канъами «Сотоба Комати».
