Hello, Good start to the article. I found more information about another contribution he had in writing. I plan to add it along with a heading under the previously reported poem that is in the article. Dlamaide12 (talk) 21:19, 28 November 2017 (UTC)dlamaide12

Additions
On the stub about Prince Osakabe, I was able to locate several additional facts pertaining to his life. Since the subject of this article is both very ancient and also the lack of many reliable english language sources i believe that only a minor addition is possible at this time. My sources for the changes are both highly respected and cited in other works. Below I have attached the changes I have made for any discussion.

According to the Nihon Shoki in the fifth month, on the fifth day of 679 A.D. Prince Osakabe, Prince Kusakabe, Prince Otsu, Prince Takechi, Prince Kawashima, and Prince Shiki, all swore to Emperor Tenmu that they wouldn't engage in future succession disputes. This occurred after Emperor Tenmu ascended the throne after the Jinshin War.[4]

In the first months of 704 A.D. he, Prince Naga, Prince Toneri, and Prince Hozumi were collectively awarded two hundred households by Emperor Monmu and Empress Genmei.[5]
