A theme park called "Shigureden"(Autumnal Shower Palace),featuring the Ogura Hundred Poems by famed 100 poets, which is one of the best-known Japanese classic literal works, will open in the Arashiyama-Sagano area this autumn simultaneously with the opening of a pass aimed at enabling tourists to make the round of Ogura poem monuments set up around Mt. Ogura. The theme park and the pass promise to be a new tourist attraction in Kyoto.

That's the poem that Yamauchi said he was going to make into Nintendo's first animated movie.
