Dayu was unsatisfied with the Ikoma Histories, finding them stale, boring, and uninteresting. He believed that the historians should be entertaining as well as informative, to attract readers, who would sharpen their minds, and pride in one's clan and family would grow. Dayu's recounted of the Battle of White Stag and the War Against Iuchiban were legendary, epic tales. Many criticized the historical accuracy of Dayu's tales, but his works remained popular."@en . .
