Saigyō
was a famous Japanese poet of the late Heian and early Kamakura period.

Sincerity
Sincerity is the virtue of one who communicates and acts in accordance with the entirety of their feelings, beliefs, thoughts, and desires in a manner that is honest and genuine. Etymology The Oxford English Dictionary and most scholars state that ''sincerity'' from ''sincere'' is derived from the Latin ''sincerus'' meaning ''clean, pure, sound'' (1525–35). ''Sincerus'' may have once meant "one growth" (not mixed), from ''sin-'' (one) and ''crescere'' (to grow). ''Crescere'' is cognate with " Ceres," the goddess of grain, as in "cereal."Bob Edwards. ''Origin of the word cereal.'' National Public Radio (NPR). Show: Morning Edition (11:00 AM on ET) October 21, 1999. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the Latin word ''sincerus'' is derived from the Indo-European root ''*sm̥kēros'', itself derived from the zero-grade of ''*sem'' (''one'') and the suffixed, lengthened e-grade of ''*ker'' (''grow''), generating the underlying meaning ''of one growth'', hence ''pure, ...
