Life

The son of the famous Fujiwara no Teika emerged as the author of Waka poems from the mid-1230s . In 1251 he completed the 10th imperial collection of poems Shoku gosen wakashū ( 続後撰和歌集 ). He was also involved in developing the Shoku kokin wakashū ( 続古今和歌集 ) collection, which appeared in 1265. He himself wrote about 2,000 waka poems, almost 500 of which were included in imperial collections. In 1241 he received the post of Gon-Dainagon and in 1250 that of the Minister of the Interior ( mimbu-kyō ). 1256 he withdrew from public life and lived as a Buddhist monk under the name Mimbukyō-nyūdō . At the imperial court was known as a Kemari player.

Fujiwara no Tameie was married to the poet Abutsu-ni , with whom he had two sons. Between his sons from his first marriage, Nijō Tameuji (Fujiwara no Tameuji) and Kyōgoku Tamenori , as well as the first son from his second marriage, Reizei Tamesuke , he later came to the dispute over the father's inheritance, which led to the founding of the rival Nijō poet families ( Nijō-ha school of poets , not related to the Nijō clan ), Kyōgoku ( Kyōgoku-ha school of poets , not related to the Kyōgoku clan ) and Reizei .
