Prince Shiki

Prince Shiki (志貴皇子, Shiki-no-miko, died 1 September 716), posthumously known as Emperor Kasuga (春日宮天皇), was a member of the royal family in Japan during the Asuka period.

[1] Prince Shiki led a life devoted to cultural fields such as waka poetry, rather than to politics.

However, after his death, his sixth son, Prince Shirakabe married Princess Inoe and was supported by many ministers to ascend the throne.

A Poem composed by Prince Shiki when he visited Naniwa Palace (706)[5] Ashibe yuku/Kamo no hagai ni/Shimi furite/Samuke yūke wa/Yamato shi omōyu In among the reeds Go to mallards through the frost Falling on their wings: Cold twilight, the still hour Of longing for Yamato.
