genealogy

  • Otondo ( 音 人 ; 811–877) was a student of Sugawara no Kiyokimi. He rose to the head of the protective forces ( Kebiishi-bettō ). He is also known under the name "Prince Kōshō" ( 江 相公 , Kōshōkō ). Otondo compiled the legal work Jōgan Kyakushiki ( 貞 観 格式 ) by Sugawara no Koreyoshi and others, which appeared in 871 and was involved in the compilation of the historical work Nihon Montoku Tennō Jitsuroku from 879 commissioned by the imperial court . He also compiled the political manual Kōteihan ( 弘帝範 ) in three volumes and the military register Gunseki Yōran ( 群 籍 要 覧 ) in 40 volumes, both of which, however, are no longer preserved. His poems have also been lost in the form of the Gō Otondo Shū ( 江 音 人 集 ) collection.
  • Chisato ( 千里 ), Otondo's son or possibly grandson, was one of the thirty-six immortals in medieval poetry . The imperial anthology of poetry Kokin-wakashū contains 31 of his poems.
  • Asatsuna ( 朝綱 ; 836–957), a grandson of Otondo, distinguished himself as a writer, especially Kanshi- Poet. Asatsuna was a professor of literature ( monjō hakase ) and state councilor ( sangi ). He was involved in the publication of the historical work Shin-Kokushi ( 新 国史 ) and was called Nochi no Kōshōkō ( 後 江 相公 ), "the later Prince Kōshō". Asatsuna was also known as a master calligrapher. His own works such as the collection of poems Nochi no Kōshōkō Shū ( 後 江 相公 集 ) and the poetry treatise Wachūsetsuin ( 倭 注 切韻 ) have not survived , but poems by him can be found in several important contemporary poetry anthologies.
  • Koretoki ( 維 時 ; 888–963), another grandson of Otondo and Asatsuna's cousin, assumed important functions in the government of the emperors Suzaku and Murakami and rose in 960 to the post of Chūnagon . He is also called Kōshōkō. He was also professor of literary studies, Kanshi poet and, after Asatsuna's death, also participated in the compilation of Shin-Kokushi .
  • Masahira ( 匡衡 ; 952-1012) learned poetry from childhood under his grandfather Koretoki and was professor of literature and teacher of Tennō Ichijō . His wife was Akazome Emon , who was much more valued as a poet . His Gōribushū ( 江 吏部 集 ) is one of the few completely preserved collections of poetry from the Heian period.
  • Koretoki ( 以 言 ; 955-1010), a relative of the above, was a professor of literary studies, as well as extraordinary vice minister for rites and ceremonies ( shikibu gon no taibu ). Tennō Ichijō, who held him in high regard as a poet, intended to use him as an imperial chronicler ( kuroudo ), but this failed because of the opposition of the regent Fujiwara no Michinaga .
Ōe no Masafusa
  • Masafusa ( 匡 房 ; 1041–1111), a descendant of Masahira, was also important as a man of letters and poet. He became a teacher in 1067 in the palace of the Crown Prince and trained the later emperors Go-Sanjō , Shirakawa and Horikawa . He was also State Councilor ( sangi ), Gon-Chūnagon and Minister of Finance ( Ōkura-kyō ), and from 1098 to 1102 Governor General of Dazaifu . He held the second, true court rank . Masafusa, Fujiwara no Nagafusa and Fujiwara no Korefusa, which were all famous at the same time, were also called "The Sambō" ( 三 房 ), ie "The Three Fusa".
  • Hiromoto (廣 元 ; 1148-1225), a descendant of Masafusas, joined Minamoto no Yoritomo when this 1180 began the fight against the Taira . He was appointed head of the archive (Bettō des Kumonjo) in 1183 and had such a large share in the organization of the Kamakura shogunate . In gratitude for his work, he received the Yamamoto fief in Higo Province . Later he was Betto of the Mandokoro. He proved to be a capable advisor to the Shoguns Minamoto no Yoriie and Sanetomo . From him came the Mōri in the province of Chōshū .
