Junsoku was active in literary and cultural circles, and is known to have even exchanged ''[[kanshi]]'' (Chinese poetry) with ''[[kanpaku]]''/''[[dajo daijin|dajô daijin]]'' [[Konoe Iehiro]]. The [[Konoe family]] archives, the [[Yomei bunko|Yômei bunko]], also contain a gold-painted saké cup known as ''Kôrinkaihai'' gifted to Iehiro by Junsoku, and copies of ''Butsugairô-ki'', a record of Konoe family landholdings compiled by Tei Junsoku and [[Sai On]].<ref>"[http://english.ryukyushimpo.jp/2018/02/22/28511/ Sake cup gifted to Konoe Iehiro 300 years ago by Tei Junsoku found preserved in Kyoto]," ''Ryukyu Shimpo'', 9 Feb 2018.</ref>

Many of Junsoku's ''kanshi'' are collected in a volume entitled ''Setsudô en'yûsô'' (雪堂燕遊草), which takes its title in part from Junsoku's [[art-name]] (''gô'') Setsudô (lit. "Snow Hall"). The "en" of the title (C: ''yān'') refers to Yanjing (or Yenching), an alternate name for Bejing. The volume contains some 84 poems under 79 headings; most of these poems were composed during a [[1697]] journey from Fuzhou to Beijing, and consist of four lines of seven characters each. The volume was originally published in Fuzhou in [[1698]], but was later expanded to include poems by Junsoku from later journeys.<ref>Maehira Fusaaki, ''Ryûkyû shisetsu no ikoku taiken'' 琉球使節の異国体験, ''Kokusai kôryû'' 国際交流 59 (1992), 62.; "[http://ryukyushimpo.jp/okinawa-dic/prentry-41874.html Setsudôenyûsô]," Okinawa Compact Encyclopedia, Ryukyu Shimpo, 1 March 2003.</ref>
