Poet, courtier, and monk
Fujiwara no Shunzei (藤原 俊成, 1114 – 22 December 1204) was a Japanese poet, courtier, and Buddhist monk of the late Heian period. He was also known as Fujiwara no Toshinari[1] or Shakua (釈阿) and when younger (1123–67) as Akihiro (顕広). He was noted for his innovations in the waka poetic form and compiling the Senzai Wakashū ("Collection of a Thousand Years"), the seventh imperial anthology of waka poetry.
^"...there is the further problem, the rendition of the name in romanized form. Teika probably referred to himself as Sadaie, and his father probably called himself Toshinari, but the Sino-Japanese versions of their names were used by their contemporaries, and this practice is still observed." Keene, Donald (1999). Seeds in the Heart. Columbia University Press. pp. 681–692 (note 2). ISBN 0-231-11441-9.
