Nagaie was a patron of the poetic arts, which were seen as a key element in the education of the ruling class.{{sfnm|1a1=Hashimoto|1y=1983|1p=300}} He hosted poetic gatherings, including uta-awase contests and meetings for the composition of both waka and kanshi, at his residence.{{sfnm|1a1=Hashimoto|1y=1983|1p=300}} He participated in a number of uta-awase at the palace,{{sfnm|1a1=Hashimoto|1y=1983|1p=300}} notably acting as the poetic arbiter (歌撰者) of the right team (右方) at the Kōgōgū Shunjū Uta-awase (皇后宮春秋歌合) in Tengi 4 (1056).{{sfnm|1a1=Hashimoto|1y=1983|1p=300}}
