	[[SIS 64]] is a similar poem by Tsurayuki. The 12th century poet Kenshō wrote a long note questioning why this poem was included in the KKS rather than Tsurayuki's own. He points to a previous treatise by Fujiwara no Kiyosuke (the ''Fukurozōshi''), who pointed out first that both poems are included in Tsurayuki's later ''[[Shinsen waka]].'' Kiyosuke's opinion was that Tsurayuki did not want to include too many of his own poems and so sometimes allowed in poems that were not as good as his own.		[[SIS 64]] is a similar poem by Tsurayuki.

	Kubota also thought that the expression of the poem would have seemed fresh at the time, although the comparison later became stale. Miura(1943) agrees with this, but McCullough considers the expression "hackneyed."

	[[KKS 0\|Previous poem]] \| [[KKS 2\|Next poem]]		This poem moves to flowers that have already fallen, and the common comparison of white flowers and snow. The poem may have been placed here due to the mention of Henjō in the previous poem (see [[poem 76\|KKS 76]] for discussion of the arrangement of the next three poems).

			When the KKS includes specific information in the prose preface, it often raises the question of how relevant that information is to the interpretation of the poem itself. Many commenters say that the preface helps interpret the poem by calling on the well known cherry blossoms of Urin'in. Kubota is one of the few to push back on this, saying that the preface simply provides information about where the poet was, but that the poem itself is not particularly tied to the temple. (Kubota also took a very idiosyncratic reading of the poem that contrasted the "place of flowers" at the top of the tree which was spring, and the base of the tree which looked like winter due to the snow.)

			Kubota also thought that the expression of the poem would have seemed fresh at the time, although the comparison later became stale. Miura(1943) agrees with this, but McCullough considers the expression "hackneyed."

;Place of flowers
:The term ''hana no tokoro'' is somewhat unclear, but the majority opinion is that it means "This temple grounds which is famous for its cherry trees." Other opinions are "The place where flowers have fallen" (Mabuchi ''Uchigiki''), "The tops of the trees that normally have flowers" (Kubota 1937), and "The broad, wide temple grounds with many flowering trees" (''Seigi'').
