   Although Narihira was buried at Jūrin-ji (十輪寺), part of his ashes were interred on Yoshida-yama (吉田山).

   Ariwara was an expert poet, named as 1 of the 'Rokkasen' (六歌仙 '6 Immortals of Poetry') and 'Sanjūrokkasen' (三十六歌仙 '36 Immortals of Poetry').

   He was even more famed for his love affairs with high profile women of the time. It's said he fathered Emperor Yōzei (陽成天皇).
