Song of the Poet: A+++
He is one of the founding fathers of classical Japanese poetry and set the bar for poets following him. Thanks to a reference to him in the preface of
Kokin Wakashu, he is listed as one of the Six Poetic Geniuses.
(3)The Rokkasen were six Japanese poets of the mid-ninth century who were named by Ki no Tsurayuki in the preface to the poetry anthology Kokin Wakashu as notable poets of the generation before its compilers. Lately, he is also labeled as one of the Thirty-six Poetry Immortals.
(4)The Sanjurokkasen are a group of Japanese poets of the Asuka, Nara, and Heian periods selected by Fujiwara no Kintou as exemplars of Japanese poetic ability. The oldest surviving collection of the 36 poets’ works is Nishi Honganji Sanjurokunin Kashu, published in 1113. Furthermore, his name is referred in the
Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (5)A classical Japanese anthology compiled by Fujiwara no Teika, consisting of one hundred Japanese waka poems by one hundred poets. Hyakunin Isshu can be translated to "one hundred people, one poem each”. as
asomi, which was how the highest ranked noble clans whose genealogical origins were often claimed back to imperial princes were ranked. In other words, he is a purebred
lyrical genius, voice of a generation.
From raising the morale of his readers with a mere line to
Shiritori-style demon-sealing conjuring, his words are always absolute, they are
Kotodama itself. There’s definitely the hint of his fox heritage in the magic of his words, but even in order for that to be successful, he had to have “the components” before―basically, the natural affinity for poetry was something born with him.

Kagomeboshi: C
Imbued in his mask lies the
Nyoihoju.
(6)Also called of Cintanami, it is a marvelous wish-granting jewel that sprang from the head of a Dragon King. It can produce anything one desires in unlimited quantities―more than simply a symbol of fortune, it stands for the inexhaustible riches of the Buddhist teaching. This jewel is also heavily associated with the Fukujin, the Seven Gods of Fortune. You know how it is, when you sleep with a sacred Priestess you kinda want to take a souvenir to remember that night... But really, don’t tell Uka-no-Mitamasama that he borrowed a sacred treasure from her for some time! ――Anyway, naturally, even if he is unable to control it to its utmost capacity by a lack of affinity with the object, even at this Rank a shower of blessings is already shed on ally-like individuals.
The presence of the Kagome crest in shrines is believed to ward-away evil, and especially in the Great Ise Temple, the continuous pattern imitating this crest has the effect of a protective amulet. The eight points of the Kagome star crest represent the eight types of wealth that the
Nyoihoju stone is capable of granting. (Incidentally, Kishouten, the original owner of this
temporarily borrowed
jewel
, is syncretized with the goddess Lakshmi… Let us just say that fertility and love were indeed quite abundant in his life thanks to that.)

Mutsuki no Toka: A
“Is this not that moon?
And Spring: is as the Spring of old
Is it not?
Only this body of mine
Is as it ever was…”
The January month was also called ‘the Month of Affection’ in the traditional Japanese calendar. On the tenth day, Archer sat upon the bare boards of the Palace of Empress Gojou’s western wing and then he composed his most famous poem.
The longing of love and the pain of separation crystalized into a Skill that charms Servants and humans alike into a mad state of love, in which one feels so much affection for Archer that they have an intense desire to make him happy, even becoming completely submissive to him. Luckily for them, he is known to be an extremely gentle lover. Incidentally, because he forces others to recognize him as their one true love in shape and form, if the target happens to already love another person, they will simply view and sense Archer as the being in question… (He does not take responsibility for any awkward realization this might bring.)
Actually a Noble Phantasm, but redesigned as a Skill possibly because of the kitsune’s tampering. (It looks like it was an ability far too lackluster for battle, the fox said...
“Apologies for being a human writer”, Archer pouts in return.) But he still apologizes, for he had no idea
there was already an Irishman claiming the “magically forcing women into submission” spot... Scary, scary, newcomers have it rough in Chaldea, everything is already done by someone else...
