Karasumaru was chosen for this task in part because he had a personal relationship with Fujitaka. Over the course of four to five years, from [[1598]] to [[1602]], he met with Fujitaka more than 70 times, and compiled a collection of Fujitaka's thoughts on poetry, eventually publishing the volume under the title ''[[Jiteiki]]''.<ref>"[http://kotobank.jp/word/%E8%80%B3%E5%BA%95%E8%A8%98 Jiteiki]," ''Sekai dai hyakka jiten'' 世界大百科事典, Hitachi Business Solutions, 2013.</ref>
