 Though his poems were not widely distributed at first, they were soon compiled into a text called "Daitsukubashū".He also compiled and edited the "Inu-tsukuba-shū" (犬筑波集), another important anthology of "renga" and "haikai".His unrefined style came to be influential and inspired the development of the "danrin" style of poetry, which emerged in the early 17th century.
