In this paper I discuss the role of waka in the narrative of a medieval Japanese tale titled Fushimi Tokiwa. I show how waka are skillfully woven into the narrative to add to the suspense of an already harrowing tale, as well as add complexity and layers to the narrative. Then, I provide original translations of the waka in question and a brief textual analysis. I close by commenting and drawing some conclusions about Fushimi Tokiwa and the kōwakamai genre as a whole in view of this use of waka in the narrative
