"Princess Ito's Prayer"

It is said that he was particularly skilled in clerical script, and that he wrote the inscriptions on the three gates of Anka, Ikan, and Tatsuchi on the north side of the Heian Palace Palace upon imperial order. It is also said that the "Prayer of Princess Ito", the "Inscription on the Door of the Copper Lighthouse of the Southern Round Hall of Kofuku-ji Temple", and parts of the "Thirty Books and Satsumas" are in his handwriting. The "Prayer of Princess Ito" is a petition by the princess when she donated cultivated land and other land as funds for the incense-light reading of sutras at the Western Hall of the Eastern Hall of Kofuku-ji Temple, but it has been said to be written by Ise since Fujiki Atsunao (1582-1649) claimed it was written by Ise in the early Edo period, but there is no specific evidence that it was written by Ise.
