6 Sekidera Komachi 関寺小町
The priest of Sekidera, accompanied by a child, visited the aged Komachi to discuss poetry. The child invited her to the temple, where the Tanabata 七夕 Star Festival was held. The child danced and then Komachi danced, too, forgetting her age. The poem reads:
"Wretch that I am - a floating waterweed, broken from its roots. If a stream should beckon, I would follow it, I think (trans. Keene).
[Wabinureba/ mi wo ukikusa no/ne wo taete//sasou mizu araba/ inantozo omou
わびぬれば/身をうき草の/ねをたへて/さそふみづあらば/いなんとぞ思ふ]
Sekidera Komachi - Keene translation: Brazell, Karen
Sekidera 関寺 ("The Barrier Temple") still exists at Otsu, a city east of Kyoto; its modern name is Choanji 長安寺 Choan-Ji.

関寺（世喜寺、せきでら）Sekidera
The temple was very old but has been destroyed during an earthquake in 976. In 1027 the priest 延鏡 got permission to rebuilt it. With the help of an oxen from 清水寺 Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto the building could be made. The white oxen was an incarnation of Kashō Butsu 迦葉仏 Kashobutsu, Kasyapa, the 6th Buddha of the Past. When people heard about this many came to see the miraculous oxen and even the regent 藤原道長 Fujiwara no Michinaga came with his wife 倫子 Rinshi.

At the temple Choan-Ji there is now the grave stone of this oxen.
Fujiwara no Michinaga 藤原道長 (966 – 1028)
He represents the highpoint of the Fujiwara clan's control over the government of Japan.
There were two regents and two imperial consorts among his brothers and sisters by the same mother.
. . . . . Michinaga's ambitions led him to make his own daughter, Shōshi, a second empress of Ichijō. In 1000 Shōshi was announced as a Chūgū empress and the existing empress Teishi was given the title of Kōgō empress.
. . . . . In 1006, Michinaga invited Murasaki Shikibu to become Empress Shōshi's companion and tutor.
. . . . . Michinaga exercised such powers even after he formally retired from public life in 1019. He continued to direct the affairs of his son and successor, Fujiwara no Yorimichi.
Michinaga is popularly known as the 御堂関白 Mido Kampaku.
