Kiyohara no Fukayabu
Kiyohara no Fukayabu ( Japanese 清 原 深 養父 ) was a Japanese waka poet of the middle Heian period (9th / 10th centuries).
Life
He was the grandfather of Kiyohara no Motosuke and great-grandfather of the Sei Shōnagon , the author of the famous pillow book . Although he served in rather modest posts in various imperial offices in the course of his life, he made a name for himself as a poet: 17 of his waka are contained in the Kokin-wakashū , one in the Hyakunin Isshu . He is one of the " 36 immortals of poetry in the Middle Ages " ( 中古 三 十六 歌仙 , chūko sanjūrokkasen ).
His skill in the Kin game is passed down, as is his contact with historical personalities such as Fujiwara no Kanesuke , Ki no Tsurayuki or Ōshikōchi no Mitsune . In old age he lived secluded in a Buddhist temple called Fudaraku-ji .
His collected works, the Fukayabu-shū ( 深 養父 集 , dt. "Collection of Fukayabu") are passed down as part of the house anthology of the Kiyohara.
In the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu he is represented with the following poem (also poem no.166 of Kokin-wakashū):
| 夏 の 夜 は | natsu no yoru wa | In summer |
| ま だ 宵 な が ら | mada yoi nagara | breaks, it's hardly night |
| 明 け ぬ る を | akenuru o | the day is already on - |
| 雲 の い づ く に | kumo no izuko ni | where in the clouds |
| 月 宿 る ら む | tsuki yadoruramu | does the moon move into accommodation now? |
